The house is very nice, quiet. We fortunately to have good weather to be able to use the pool and have a down day to get over jet lag. My only complaints are, the barking dogs on the adjacent properties, and there is also not a lot of restaurants in the area. There is a a very small store that had enough for us to cook at the house. The master suite shower has a few problems with leaking all over the floor. But the view at the property is beautiful and very peaceful. The host was very nice and gave us a lot of information about things to do in the area. If we were to come back to the island, we would probably stay again.

Fantastic place. The house was spotless and well cared for. The rural view and sunrise was amazing and location was good. Our GPS coordinates still landed us on the wrong road. There is a sign on the main road by the house with the yellow trim that takes you on the back lane to the house - easy to find with that.

This house is as nice as the pictures look. View from patio and pool/spa toward the Atlantic is amazing. Nice to have cows and donkey in the pastures next door. The house is clean and well appointed. Host communicated perfectly and made our stay simple. Staying in nordeste gave us access to great running/hiking trails. This is a unique and special home.

If youre looking for modern conveniences in a peaceful, quiet setting with amazing views, then look no further. Mario and Marcilia are terrific hosts and have turned an old rustic, traditional Azorean house into a modern home that beautifully incorporates the old with the new. You can see the ocean, meadows, mountains, and village of Lomba Da Fazenda while sitting in a chair on the balcony. There is easy access by car to the house and the main road that circles the island. A nearby grocery store makes it convenient to pick up items as needed. We didnt use the pool because the weather was too cool for us to swim but its a nice pool. We felt very safe at the house and in the area. The house is clean and it was nice having a washing machine so we didnt have to bring large pieces of luggage. We spent the mornings and most of the day visiting different parts of the island and our evenings at the house. We enjoyed being able to use the grill and induction stove to cook dinners. Internet service was really good so we could check in if we felt like it. You do have to walk up stairs to get to the main living space which wasnt an issue for us but could be for others. Two or three couples could rent the house together and find space for privacy if/when needed. The house has a lovely fireplace in the living room. There are cows and horses in the meadows surrounding the house but most of the land is used for producing hay so it was quiet. If you havent visited Sao Miguel, you will be surprised by how much there is to see even though its a small island.
