Where do I even start? My husband and I spent the most incredible week at this property. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect place to stay. The property owner, Paulo, met us when we arrived with a few groceries, which was very appreciated after an overnight flight. He was a wealth of information and extraordinarily helpful. He’s put together a great folder of information about the area, suggested restaurants, even itineraries that are thoughtfully crafted to allow you to make the most of your time on Sao Miguel. The property itself is just amazing. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. Perched on a beautiful point with a beach below with natural pools that are perfect for swimming… even with 15 foot waves crashing on the rocks behind, the natural pools remain calm and wonderful. I would recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a bit uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. The accommodations are four square stand-alone studios, each with a small porch with table and chairs. They are just the coolest and very comfortable. Paulo thought of absolutely everything, from USB ports built into the bed frame for charging phones without the need for a plug adapter, to bench seating that can be turned into an additional sleeping space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, and everything was clean, comfortable and wonderful. The area is stunning. I mean Absolutely. Totally. Incredibly. Stunning. I just can’t say enough!
