Cottage holiday rentals in Azores

The stay at Luis's house has been amazing. The house is beautiful, really well decorated, and has different spaces to feel comfortable, like home. The kitchen has everything you need in case you cook anything (cutlery, fairy, pans, coffee machine, microwave...etc) When we did the check-in, they give us a box with juice, milk, and cheese from the Azores. Also, they bring you every morning fresh bread and there is butter and coffee available too. Our room (with a private bathroom)was perfectly decorated and clean. The bathroom was fully equipped with a hairdryer, towels shampoo & shower gel. The garden is beautifully decorated with flowers and plants, with plenty of space, a couple of tables, and a jacuzzi. Luis & Paula are friendly people, they also show us how to feed cows and explain to us a lot about the island. We really have fun and feel at home during our stay in Luis's house.

A Truly Charming Stay with Thoughtful Touches! Our group of four recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Green Sunrise House. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the prompt response and genuine care of the host, who even provided some lovely welcome gifts. The clear instructions for everything made settling in a breeze. The property itself is incredibly inviting. The decor, location are fantastic, making it feel like a cozy home. We particularly loved the well-stocked kitchen, which had everything we needed, and the ample supply of linen and towels was greatly appreciated. The music collection were a delightful bonus, providing entertainment and a relaxing atmosphere. We also thoroughly enjoyed spending evenings by both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, which added so much to the experience. Only con was the one bathroom for four people did not have a lock inside and the hot tub (primary reason for booking thi place) took hours to prepare and couldnt use it properly!

I had an incredible 3 night stay at this property, the pictures do not show it off enough. The views are impecable, with a lot of nature around and the most comfortable grass..! I hope you visit again, thank you

Very nice hosts, everything clean and tidy. Highly recommended

If you want to explore the island and really feel comfortable, you are in the right hands with Tania and Paul in the sweet cottage! It is totally cozy and well equipped. The view goes over the hills and landscape of the island out to the sea (also from the in-house whirlpool) in the area are supermarkets, small breakfast options and restaurants. You can quickly drive to the tea plantation or the thermal pools. I can only recommend this great place to every traveler.

Ruben is an amazing host, with top recommendations and makes you feel welcome. He went above and beyond to welcome us with a gift basket (and took into account our dietary restrictions). Cottage is nice, with the hot tub and sauna in great working condition. Great way to unwind after a day of exploring / hiking

The stay with José was magical and cozy. The Cottage by the lake has a fantastic view of Lake Furnas. In short (car) distance to the village of Furnas, there are plenty of shopping opportunities for the necessities and everywhere insanely beautiful nature and a lot of relaxing things to discover. The accommodation has everything it needs - including good heating in cold weather. Only the cars are slightly audible in the bedroom when they sometimes drive through at night. However, we did not find it disturbing. Otherwise, rest and relaxation are the order of the day. Everything is well described, the instructions for check-in and check-out are simple and clear. Communication with José was very friendly, reliable and fast. We highly recommend this gem in the middle of this dream island. Happy to come back :) merci for everything, José!

Great place, Maria is very friendly and helpful!! When the Internet didn't work, she even came at 10 PM! For this place you need a car, as everywhere in the Azores Good starting point to get to know the island or if you just want to relax.

The accommodation is ideally open to the island, about thirty minutes by car from the main viewpoints of the island. It's quiet, with a sublime life, and everything matches the listing photos.

we enjoyed it very much! the cottage had everything we needed, would come back anytime again

Everything was just perfect! From the communication, to the location, to the house itself, to all the amenities and their quality all the way to the cleanliness of the place…just perfect!

Ocean views for days...this place has a god-smacking view of the north coast and Sao Jorge. We were 2 couples and this place was perfect. A welcome basket has the essentials to get you through the first 24 hours. There are 2 large, comfortable bedrooms downstairs with walkouts to a patio. Their full 3 piece bathroom is on the main floor. The third, separate bedroom has its own full ensuite bath. The kitchen is well equipped and functional. There are 2 patios facing the fields and sea with an outdoor kitchen area. Pike, Francisco and Vania are always only a text away and are so helpful and very accommodating.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is comfortable, well-equipped and situated in a beautiful, quiet area of Santa Luzia. Pedro was very welcoming and provided helpful suggestions for things to explore on Pico.

Our stay here was nothing short of incredible. The location is unbeatable—waking up to the sound of the ocean and having panoramic views of the Atlantic from the property was a dream come true. The home was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The host was welcoming and responsive. We loved the outdoor space where we enjoyed coffee in the mornings and some drinks at sunset. It truly felt like a peaceful retreat tucked away in paradise. Being so close to nature made this the perfect base for exploring the beauty of São Miguel. We can’t recommend this place enough!

We had a fantastic time at Casa Mediana. It is so quiet and peaceful, though located centrally so gives good access to the rest of São Miguel. Though rural and a long way from any neighbours, it is only a 10 minute drive into the town of Ribeira Grande, which has beaches, supermercado, restaurants etc. The house is spacious, comfortable, well equipped and has a nice terrace for relaxing and watching the view. Also, we have to mention the animals! Dogs, cats, donkeys, chickens and more! All very friendly and welcoming and really enhancing the experience. Luis is a great host, friendly and helpful. Recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-track experience.

First of all, we did not stay in exactly this apartment. It is a complex with three apartments and we were informed about a week before, that they renovate the booked one. But to be honest, since we have been alone in the whole complex and could test the views of all three terraces of the apartments, our alternative accommodation had a nicer view to the ocean and Sao Jorge, than the originally booked apartment. So if it is the view you are going for, then look at Google Maps for highland homes in Pico - you can see all the apartments (the greatest one has a stunnig view). The trees were trimmed, so you can see the ocean in every room. A highlight is the lavastone, but you need to pack slippers for inside, the floor is very cold. Another highlight is the garden, it is like a botanic garden, with a lot of plants we have never seen before and absolutely beautiful. There is also an easy but nice hiking trail at the end of the road and since it is a dead end, there is no traffic too.

The accommodation was the best equipped we have ever had through Airbnb. So many kitchen utensils, plates, cutlery, glasses, pots, pans. A large kitchen with a new stove and oven and fridge. Great for cooking. All the rooms are beautifully furnished. The terraces are beautiful for lying or eating on. The location right by the sea is wonderful. It is only a few minutes to the sunset hot spots. The insider tip Tunel Hydraulico is only 7 minutes by car. The accommodation La Maisonette is definitely recommended!

João was super responsive continually checking in during our stay to make sure everything was ok. Peaceful location at the end of the street, private gated yard (great for kids). Had space heaters and extra blankets available for the cold nights. There is a washer and dryer (not common in Portugal to have both!) The living room area smelled like smoke probably from the people before us using the fireplace. Would definitely stay again.

The villa is absolutely perfect! A traditional home with a full and well stocked kitchen and amazing backyard. Plenty of restaurants/cafes in walking distance. We personally loved Queijadas do Morgado the most! There is also easy access to the highway to get around the island quickly. Duarte was very friendly and quick to respond and an excellent host. Highly recommend spending your time in the Azores here!

The house was cosy and very clean, in a peaceful and lovely place of Pico. Thanks to Fernando, who was very nice and full of tips regarding events on Pico Island. Thanks also to Carolina, who welcomed us at the house and give us a list of restaurants and advices to visit the island.

Such an amazing place to stay. "In town" but felt like your own piece of paradise. Alexandra was amazing, sharing her love of the Azores with us. A few notes: - you'll definitely need a car in the Azores. Get the little one (we got a Fiat Panda). Much more comfortable on the small roads and parking at the cottage - if you don't like the sounds of nature and birds then this isn't the place for you (we loved it though!) - if you or someone in your party is allergic to or afraid of dogs then, as the listing points out, there are three dogs here so be aware - We didn't swim in the pool but the water was warm and refreshing as we dangled our toes in the water - the bed is firm; if you don't like firm mattresses, be aware - the AC is in the main bedroom (and is great). Upstairs could be warm. - the wifi in the bedroom is spotty. Alexandra is aware and gave us a heads up that they're working on it. Maybe stay off your devices for a while and go for a walk? :D

We had an amazing stay at Duarte’s place. It was peaceful, quiet, and free of city noise. With the place a little bit outside of the city, Duarte picked us up in his own vehicle and let us use it during our stay. This was a huge comfort while on vacation. He was more than accommodating with recommendations on food and activities on the island, including hikes, natural pools, and other local festivities. I would definitely recommend Duarte as a host and would stay at any of his places!
