Maison Émeraude

We had an amazing stay with Franck and Miguel. Both of them are extremely welcoming, we really felt at home at Maison Émeraude. The property is just magical with wonderfully selected furniture and the great breakfast made it a perfect start into the day.

It is a beautiful piece of property, well maintained and quiet. The people there are wonderfully helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was really special!

We enjoyed an excellent holiday at Maison Emeraude - easily one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. The Maison itself is a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and authenticity. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, from the tasteful interior design to the serene atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully appointed - spotlessly clean, spacious, and filled with nice details. Waking up each morning felt like waking up to paradise, with peaceful surroundings and a sense of total relaxation. What truly sets Maison Emeraude apart though, is the hospitality of Franck and Miguel. The hosts go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, offering a level of warmth and personal care for their guests that you won’t get in any other hotel on the Azores. Breakfast is the best you can imagine. Fresh fruit from their own huge garden, good coffee and a tasty varying selection make it a blessing in the morning. The dinner is also a clear recommendation. The food is selected in coordination with the guests and freshly cooked. We liked it very much. The location is also ideal - tucked away in a quieter area but still perfectly positioned for exploring the island’s beautiful landscapes, from volcanic lakes to lush greenery and rugged coastlines. After a day of adventure, returning to the calm and comfort of the Maison felt like coming home. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. We will definitely return here for our next trip to the Azores.

We had a fabulous stay at Maison Emeraude. Franck and Miguel were wonderful and attentive hosts. We stayed there for two nights during our honeymoon and only wished we could have stayed longer! The breakfasts were incredible and we chose to have dinner there, which they offer every other night (don't miss it!). They also have a menu of snacks and drinks to choose from during the day. The room is incredibly spacious and steps away from a beautiful pool. The design aesthetic and hospitality of this place are 10/10. We hope to return some day and cant wait to recommend Maison Emeraude to any friends visiting Sao Miguel Island. You wont regret staying here!
