Family-friendly holiday rentals in São Miguel Island

Really beautiful place to stay. The garden feels like a fairy tale! Would definitely recommend.

The place exceeded expectations. The hosts are very good people. Responded quickly to all our questions. Suggested various recreational options and help with getting to the airport. The area is incredible. The atmosphere is really for relaxing, cozy and peaceful.

Tip top! Clear recommendation. :-) We spent 5 nights here and felt right at home. Very clean accommodation, a beautiful view from the terrace + jacuzzi to the sea and super helpful and friendly hosts. The tranquility there is also indescribable. Here, however, you definitely need a rental car if you want to do other things, as you live far away from the big cities. That's exactly why it was perfect for us.

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

We had a lovely stay here! The apartment is beautifully designed, with a stunning sea view, a well-equipped kitchen, and a spacious, modern bathroom. The balcony was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. There’s a popular restaurant right next door, and although the apartment is located a bit outside the Ponta Delgada city center, it’s a peaceful area with enough parking nearby. We had a car, which we’d recommend, but also walked into town along the scenic coastline-it takes about 30 minutes. All in all, a great base for exploring the island!

This place was a beautiful house, with a nice private backyard! We had some trouble in the parking area designated due to the narrow entrance, but parked near the church and found it much easier! We were visited frequently by Carla’s dog, Toby, and he even gave us a little tour of the area. Overall, we had a great time using Carla’s house as our base to explore the gorgeous island!

Epicenter was the perfect central location to explore Sao Miguel during the day, and enjoy the privacy of home at night. The neighbors are a little noisy so bring ear plugs but the amenities here made it well worth it!

Great host, great place, great stay and... unbeatable view. Truly don't know what to write😀 everything was Perfecto👊 just give a try😇 The host is super subtle probably this was the most important thing. And ask them for local recommendations you won't regret it😀 By bye and see again (I hope 🤞)🤗🤗🤗

Nice and cozy house, very pleasant atmosphere, quiet area among the cows, carefully furnished cottage.

Simply the BEST! Max's house was absolute perfection for our group of 6 friends (3 couples). With a week on São Miguel, this beautifully quiet, coastal home was our ideal base. We all had our own wonderful personal space, while the living and dining areas easily accommodated us all. Mornings began with leisurely breakfasts on the veranda (and occasional dolphin spottings!), nights were spent in comfortable beds serenaded by the sea. We enjoyed cooking big meals in the well-equipped galley kitchen and exploring local restaurants. Max was a stellar host, no, actually the BEST host – leaving fresh fruit, bread, and wine, helping with local dining and sightseeing suggestions. Parking for two cars was ample, the pool is lovely and the nearby black sand beach was a rugged, stunning walk. We really could not have asked for anything more, it was perfection! 😊

This is a lovely apartment with an incredible view of the mountains and beach. It’s rather basic in decor, but comfortable. All in all, a very good place

They are super nice and the place is clean and you feel at home. the view is beautiful too. Totally recommend It!

What a beautiful home!! It is in a great location, with a gorgeous view of the coastline from the spacious deck and from inside the home. Everything was provided, we did not need to contact Fatima for anything during our stay. She let us enter the unit before check-in when we arrived earlier than expected. The place is very clean and well kept, you can tell that she takes pride in her home. She left a goodie basket of local food items on the counter which was delicious and very much appreciated! If you plan on staying in Sao Miguel, I would highly recommend this place!

As older family members we couldn't be happier. Sven is a welcoming host and easy to approach. Nothing was out of his purview. The home is warm, clean and complete, but mostly the view is beyond expectations. The location is central to all on the island and we felt at home. Happy to stay in as well as explore. Sven's restaurant list was a plus as well as all things covered on his "list". I definitely expect to return and would hope to stay at Casa de Ilheu.

Even though I didn’t get to stay due to travel and weather chaos ! Alexandre was very helpful , responsive and understand . He worked with me and customer service along the way to ensure that both parties were satisfied! I am grateful and happy that humanity is still alive and there are still good people out there . If I get to go to Azores one day , I will definitely book with Alex again ! Obrigada

We can really recommend this little gem. We had a wonderful stay - the house is very private and includes everything one could possibly need for a short holiday. Check in was very flexibel and despite a 3h flight delay we were met at the property right away. Many thanks for the hospitality.

Maria was super kind and helpfull. The property is amazing. The driveway is stunning, and the house, garden and pool area are well maintained. We loved our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. There was everything you need-and more. The view from the accommodation over the well-maintained pool and the surrounding area overlooking the port of Ponta Delgado was fantastic. The dog made you feel safe on the property at all times. If you want, he's the best buddy. The host is extremely friendly, helpful and speaks very good English, which made the stay very pleasant. Pedro not only gave tips for Sao Miguel, but also recommended sights for our other stops on the other islands. The central location on the island makes it possible to reach any point on the island within 1 hour. We will be happy to come back.

Beautiful stay! Great communication. Had everything we needed and perfect location - private enough and also close enough for driving for everywhere.

This was a very well situated home that felt private and secure. The unit was bright and clean. The kitchen was stocked with basics needed. The bathrooms were clean and modern with plenty of toilet paper (could have used tissues). We were given 2 towels (one for home and one for beach/water activities) and a hand towel. I would have liked an extra towel for the week long stay. Storage in the bedrooms was great and loved the room darkening blinds! I personally felt the beds were too firm. The couch was equally as firm. For 2 people, the living room furniture was adequate but if you’re a group of 4 or more, there isn’t enough seating. The dining table seats plenty! The balcony furniture was great and my son loved lounging in the hammock and enjoying the surrounding beauty. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk with a decent restaurant on the beach. A rental car is a necessity to get around. Being centrally located meant easy access to all the island has to offer. Great stay!

mariana’s apartment is super comfortable and clean, great view and just some minutes away from a great beach, we had an amazing time there.

Our stay was perfect. The location couldn’t have been better. Peaceful. Nice to be out of downtown Ponta Delgada- but convenient enough to get to and enjoy the Festival and the city when we wanted to. The house is strategically located on the south shore and perfectly located to drive to the island’s sites. A couple very nice restaurants are within easy walking distance. The ocean pools are right across the street. We enjoyed whale watching, hiking and traversing the Island, seeing all the sites. Ludovic was a txt away and helped out whenever we needed! Our 8 day stay went by so quickly, but it was wonderful.

We had such a wonderful stay! The hosts were extremely proactive about helping us with any and all needs. We were traveling with a 1 year old baby and they had everything prepared for him including high chair and crib all set up. We are so glad we got to spend a wonderful week at this property. Thank you!
