Really nice place to stay at with extremely nice host. Also jacuzzi was a great benefit. And tasty breakfasts :)

One thing could be better - more chests of drawers to store clothes at room. But owerall nothing negative.

Beautiful location right on the ocean. Wonderful breakfast with friendly hosts. We were able to relax in the hot tub after adventuring for the day.

N/A

I loved everything about the breakfast. Pastries were fresh and I am unable to say where I have had better eggs and bacon... You can eat while enjoying panoramic view of the sea and landscape, but are smartly sheltered from wind and rain. Best of all Miguel very personally yet not intrusively goes from table to table with maps and advises about where and what you might look at. The guidance was flawless

I can not say there is one single thing that I did not like

Friendly and helpful staff. Family feel. Comfortable room and bed.

Soundproofing wasn't great. Car parking is a bit of a walk away. Immediate area lacks charm.

Breakfast was great, with a great view, and amazing food, and the owners were always up for a nice chat and also very helpful with recommendations and advice. I think it was probably the best inn I ever stayed at and there is definitely no other place I would want to stay when I visit the Azores. In case you want to rent a car, ask the owners because they know a place that will deliver the car and paperwork straight to the inn. Taxi from and to the airport is also cheap and convenient. Pro tip: ask for the omelet for breakfast.

The moment I enetered the room was poor bliss. The ocean view. The comfy bed. The lush feeling. You have everything you need and more, including beach towels for your hot springs experience. If only everything in the world was as perfect as this place. And for a very affordable price, too. Absolutely recommend and hope to come back one day.

Good location, perfect view, nice breakfast, extremely helpful host. Overall, I don't know what I could want that was not available.

We enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and all the tips on what to do on the island from the host.

Breakfast was excellent .It felt like home

Can’t think of anything

The guesthouse was in an amazing spot with a great view: It was cosy and comfortable. The breakfast was indeed exceptional and the staff was just amazing: friendly and always happy to help. The experience of the stay was incredible. I would for sure recommend staying in Garoupas Inn, especially if you’re travelling as a couple.

Almost everything - breakfast, view, room. Best hotel and service!

The friendliness of the owners is absolutely making a difference. They're very welcoming and helpful with everything.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Garoupas Inn on the beautiful island of Sao Miguel in the Azores. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the stunning views of the ocean from our room. The hotel itself is beautifully designed and well-maintained, and our room was comfortable and clean. But what really made our stay special was the warmth and kindness of the hotel owners. They were incredibly sweet and helpful, always happy to answer our questions and provide recommendations for things to do and see on the island. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast served each morning, which had a great variety of options to choose from. The hotel is also conveniently located, making it easy to explore all that Sao Miguel has to offer. Overall, I would highly recommend Garoupas Inn to anyone visiting the Azores. It's a wonderful hotel with beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and the most hospitable owners you could ask for.

Amazing place to stay in Sao Miguel - we cannot wait to go back and stay at Garoupas. The location of Sao Roque was perfect for us, right on the coast, with a beautiful sea view and just a short walk to some lovely beaches. It was only a 5 min drive (40 min walk) into the main city of Ponta Delgada so well connected but just enough outside that it was quieter. Having said that, there were some fantastic restaurants within walking distance and I am sure a few of the bars which we saw were closed (due to it being December - off-season) would be thriving in the summer. The room was fairly small and simple but lovely, had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us, a comfortable bed and a nice big shower. There was also regular cleaning throughout the stay. The real treat was the terrace with the most amazing view over the ocean! The breakfast was amazing - yogurts, fruit, ham, cheese, pastries, bread, fresh baked goods everyday and eggs and bacon if you want it. If you go there, request the peach cobbler! The best part about this place through are the hosts - they literally cannot do more to make you feel comfortable and help you explore the island. Make sure you have a sit down with Mike and a map, we discovered some real hidden gems thanks to him!

Everything was amazing! I would suggest getting the sea facing rooms to experience the real magic of this place!

The owners were spectacular, super helpful. The breakfast was also great, the space is well located and the cleanliness is also good.

We didn't really like the sound insulation - too much noise starting at 7 a.m. - not good for getting a good rest!

Exceptionally great hosts. They'll help you discover the island.

Not a lot of parking space nearby. We were lucky to always find a spot not too far off.

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Very nice location with magnificent view to the ocean. Rooms being cleaned every day.

I stayed here with my cousin and we felt so at home! The staff make you feel like family and they go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. Mike made us delicious breakfast and called us taxis. It is a perfect place to just relax and meet some great people!

The jacuzzi was broken when we got there, but it was fixed the day we left. I just wish we could have used it.

The room was really nice, clean, with gorgeous, peaceful views of the ocean. The owners were fantastic, great communication and very kind and helpful.

VERY NICE.

Very nice.

Little piece of heaven, everything was perfect!

Booking this place is more than just a place to stay but a home for the time your there. From the moment you arrive your welcomed like their own family. Great breakfast and the owners are amazing. If your thinking of booking don’t hesitate they are the best and you will only wish you could stay longer. They go above and beyond to make your stay better.

very welcoming and helpful owners and staff. very chilled and skiff back feel, spotlessly clean and well located with beautiful sea views

Friendly owners, great breakfast with ocean view, clean place!

During our stay (October 2022) the jacuzzi wasn’t working. We booked late and didn’t have an ocean view room, I think those rooms are nicer as you have a little balcony and don’t hear traffic sounds.
