We really enjoyed our stay. Paulo was so helpful with recommendations for activities and restaurants. He picked us up from the airport and also arranged a car for us for the week. When we were leaving, we just dropped our car off and were shuttled to the airport free of charge. Paulo’s property is quiet and absolutely beautiful. You can walk down to chairs that are by a hot tub and look over the Atlantic Ocean. There is even a path to the beach. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming again.

We really enjoyed our time at Paulo's place. The property is well-maintained and peaceful (we had the garden view with flowers and birds). And the best part is the deck overlooking the ocean - complete with a hot tub. Each of the 4 'tiny houses' come with a private front porch / deck. The unit is simple and has everything you need: Storage and closet space Kitchenette Dining and living space combo Bed with built-in lights and storage Bathroom with shower Oscillating floor fan Privacy curtains WiFi The location is good, just a short drive in either direction for restaurants or groceries. Paulo offers laundry pickup and delivery during the week. Paulo's directions and suggestions for places to visit and things to do really helped. And he was easily available through WhatsApp to connect during the day. We would recommend his place and will stay there again.

We adored everything about the Azores. Paulo’s place was a delightful home base for us and a lovely finish to each day after driving and hiking the island. The grounds are lovely and the hot tub overlooking the sea is a treat. Communication with Paulo is very quick and he is helpful with car reservations and transfers. Our only issue was with the check-in process. Check in is not allowed until 5:00. That’s very late on our opinion. It is also not possible to leave bags or access the grounds (which are large) until that time. This seems unnecessarily inflexible for those travelling overnight from North America. The only way around this is to book an extra night in advance of arriving, which feels punitive.

Very exklusive and nice location, 4 tiny houses on the whole area. Nice view and sleeping with the sound of Atlantique. Jacuzzi with the best view! If it is possible, rent the "bubble"! The tiny houses have all what you need. Kitchenette, bathroom, veranda- everything is fine. Paulo and Anabel are very nice and friendly people. We rented a car via Paulo, best choice. We will defintly come back!

Paulo’s property is fantastic. Very clean, great views and facilities. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quieter place to stay on São Miguel.

Perfect stay, great location. Paulo is helpful and clearly takes the management of his property very seriously. Would stay again.

very cute place with a beautiful view. Paulo has his own brochure on touring the island. Great information.

Our experience at this property could not have been better. From the well-appointed, extremely comfortable bungalows, to the gorgeous setting on a small peninsula jutting out into the ocean, It provided a soothing retreat after a day of taking in the island sights. Equally delightful was just spending time on the grounds, enjoying the surf, the hot tub, and beach. Added bonuses were the itinerary Paulo provided as a guide to the many beautiful places on the island, and his warmth and helpfulness thoughout our stay. We'd return again!

The Appartement was very clean, everything is almost new. You will live in the middle of the island which makes it very comdortable to discover the whole island. Paulo is an absolute outstanding house keeper who does everything to make your trip enjoyable. Definitely recommended 10/10

This bungalow is located on spectacular property, centrally located on the island to allow for easy exploration. The space was great for the two of us, nicely decorated and well stocked. The best part about staying here was the property itself. A long expanse of Gardens and Lawn lead you to multiple sitting areas and a hot tub from which you could see ocean on three sides.

My partner and I had an amazing time here! The property is big and beautiful, with easy access to the natural pools. We also loved climbing on the big black volcanic rocks behind the property and exploring the tide pools. It’s in a perfect location in a cute little village on the north central coast of the island—close to the Caldeira Velha hot springs and the breathtaking Lagoa da Fogo. Paulo was such a gracious host, picking us up from the airport, getting us a discount on our rental car, and sitting down with us to help us plan an itinerary. Please be aware that there are 3 other bungalows on the property so it is only semi-private. There is also no air conditioning in the bungalows but we were cool at night with the windows open. Such a special place!

Our host Paulo far exceeded our expectations! Not only did he pick us up from the airport, but also arranged our car rental, dinner reservations, and even asked us what groceries we would like to have him buy for us ahead of time. Paulo spent a lot of time showing us around the property when we arrived and even sat down and explained all the different things and hikes to do around the island..He was exceptional! The property was off the charts beautiful too. I can’t say enough about our stay. Everything was top-notch! I have already recommended Paulo’s property to friends who plan on coming to Sao Miguel.

We stayed 4 nights. Paulo and his wife were amazing hosts. They made sure that we were happy. Paulo provided tips on what to see on the island and ensured our trip was wonderful. The accommodations are on a beautiful property overlooking the ocean. It is a must stay on Sao Miguel island. I would highly recommend. Thank you to Paulo for his generosity, kindness and always being available for any questions.

Paulo is very kind and goes above and beyond for his guests. The property is quite big and extends all the way down to the ocean and is adjacent to a public beach. As someone who found it challenging to build condensed itineraries for the island, I found it especially helpful that Paulo had pre-planned itineraries which he personally walked us through. Although I would say that renting an individual bungalow is ideal for couples/pairs, Paulo also owns a hostile in Ponta Delgada that we saw and it looked very nice for solo travelers!

Where do I even start? My husband and I spent the most incredible week at this property. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect place to stay. The property owner, Paulo, met us when we arrived with a few groceries, which was very appreciated after an overnight flight. He was a wealth of information and extraordinarily helpful. He’s put together a great folder of information about the area, suggested restaurants, even itineraries that are thoughtfully crafted to allow you to make the most of your time on Sao Miguel. The property itself is just amazing. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. Perched on a beautiful point with a beach below with natural pools that are perfect for swimming… even with 15 foot waves crashing on the rocks behind, the natural pools remain calm and wonderful. I would recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a bit uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. The accommodations are four square stand-alone studios, each with a small porch with table and chairs. They are just the coolest and very comfortable. Paulo thought of absolutely everything, from USB ports built into the bed frame for charging phones without the need for a plug adapter, to bench seating that can be turned into an additional sleeping space. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, and everything was clean, comfortable and wonderful. The area is stunning. I mean Absolutely. Totally. Incredibly. Stunning. I just can’t say enough!

Beautiful setting, Paulo was exceptionally friendly and helpful, Didn't want to leave,. Would go back in a heartbeat

We’ve had a great 2-weeks family holiday staying in this beautiful and perfectly located house. We can highly recommend this place. What we particularly liked was the location (convenient for day trips all over the island and directly at the seaside), the unique garden with the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, the well-equipped house and last not least Paulo’s hospitality. He was always quick to provide any advice we needed and is really taking care of his guests (including pick up from the airport and even our first grocery shopping to help us dealing with the COVID-19 related circumstances). We also appreciated the cleanliness of the house including cleaning service after one week. Thanks again Paulo and we hope to come back someday...

The ocean front view from this property is spectacular. Centrally located on the Northern side of the island on a quiet street, its the perfect stay for relaxation and exploring. Watching and listening to the waves crash against the shoreline provides a marvelous escape. The house is well furnished and the host, Paulo, is helpful and dedicated to making your stay outstanding. We would definitely return to this property

Nice place with beautiful ocean view, I especially liked the trees near the shore.

This property situated near Ribera Grande, was perfect. Paulo was an excellent host, picking us up from the airport and taking us back at the end of our trip. We rented a car from him, which was a good decision, as the GPS in the car made it very easy to get around. The house has a hot tub which looks over the ocean. This is a wonderful place to be at sunset. The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy for us to make some of our meals. There was plenty of hot water and comfortable beds.

São Miguel. Imagine Ireland with volcanoes-the continent without the crowds. Always an adventure to be found around the next bend in the island's challenging yet delightful narrow roads. We felt right at home in Paulo's "Azor' Oasis São Miguel Ocean" charming seaside home, a quaint two-bedroom abode made of local stone and offering all the comforts (and more) one would find in an upscale downtown hotel. Paulo was a gracious host who made our arrival and departure virtually trouble-free. His knowledge of the island and the ability to speak at least three different languages was an unexpected and much-appreciated bonus to our most enjoyable stay on Ilha São Miguel. Muito Obrigado Paulo, Mark and Catherine Eubank Winter Park, Florida

Second stay for us summarizes how we feel about Azores Oasis. We love going to the shoreline each morning and afternoon and discovering the remainder of the island in between. Paulo is a gracious host and tries hard to please. We hope to return one day after the renovations Paulo has undertaken.

Paulo’s property was awesome. My family of 4 were picked up at the airport and brought to the house where breakfast was waiting on us. The house is in a very central location on the island which made everything so convenient. The ocean is a short walk out the back gate. It’s beautiful! The house has everything you would need and it was nice to use the washer and dryer after atv or horseback riding. There is a very nice new car available to rent with the house. It was so easy! I would recommend this house in the most beautiful island I have ever seen!

I am the definition of a frequent flyer, typically spending 150+ days a year on the road (mostly business, but my wife joins me, for business and pleasure, 2-3 weeks a year). I’ve stayed at many of the world’s top rated resorts and hotels, as well as rental properties. I have enjoyed a mere handful as much as I did at Paulo’s. From the moment he met us to check us in, with a grocery bag full of goodies in hand, he was a wonderful and gracious host. The property, meanwhile, is astounding. There’s the main building, with two bedrooms (and bunk beds allowing for up to 8, if you want to get cozy), and a surprisingly roomy and well-equipped kitchen. I wish we’d gotten around to using the wood-fires pizza oven but we used everything else. The large and completely private garden patio, with raised dining deck, would. E enough to satisfy most travelers...but when you open the back door you discover a yard that extends several 100 yards back to the ledge overlooking the ocean, with a path leading to the natural pools where you can take a dip. There is also a partially enclosed (and covered) patio room where you can stretch out with a local gin and tonic and enjoy watching the sun go down. (One of the delights is that the spit of land sticks out just far enough that you can go down to the rocky ledge and see both sunsets and sunrises! We’ve seldom stayed “on premises” as much as we did here... ...but when we did venture out we were delighted by what we discovered, realizing that those who are calling the Azores the new “IT” vacation spot are right on the money. No, it doesn’t have the night life or the art scene of a Barcelona or Portugal’s Algarve...which some will find a good thing. The cuisine scene is surprising good, and delightfully affordable. (And if you use Paulo’s Kitchen, the local Continente markets are very well stocked). Seafood is plentiful, as you expect, and it is worth trying some of the local specialties, like the limpets, bacalhao and wreckfish, but there are also restaurants specializing in the very good local beef and sausages and cheeses There is great hiking and biking, even kayaking in a vast volcanic crater lake. Furnas, as the town’s name suggests, has thermal steam baths. Another pleasant discovery: surprisingly affordable rental cars. Which brings me back to our rental, perfectly situated to go exploring — or to simply relax. This was a find of a lifetime — even for a jaded veteran traveler.

Paulo and Eduardo were amazing! Paulo picked us up at the airport at 7 am and kept us entertained the whole time while we waited till 4 for our check in. It was a packed day and nice to not have to think after a full day of travel. The property was also amazing. It has private access to the beach and was so peaceful to look out every morning at the ocean. The kitchen is fully stocked and the meal Eduardo made our first night was so delicious. It's also not too far from the grocery store and pretty centrally located from all the spots we wanted to go to. Definitely recommend getting a car - it's pretty easy to get around, navigation was no problem. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back!

Our kids had lots of fun exploring the rocky beach and surrounding bluffs.

An amazing property in a convenient location to great restaurants and centrally located to easily access the main sites and activities on the island. The kitchen had everything imaginable you need to prepare a gourmet meal, the beds were comfortable and the views and access to the ocean was amazing. Would definitely recommend.
