Antonio and Maggie (hosts) are awesome. Welcome kit was very much appreciated. The gardens are amazing. House is lovely. The only warning is driving in Capelas is something you need to get used to!

Very cozy house and beautiful garden. Host Antonio was very friendly and hospitable.

A great experience from the welcome basket, to the comfortable suite, to the gardens --with Antonio's warm hospitality and helpful attention. We were very fortunate to have found this property for our first visit to Sao Miguel Island! It presents a great location for touring the north shore and just twenty minutes from the airport and Ponta Delgada. Our mobility issues were not a limitation to our visit with accessible rooms within the suite and parking just outside the gate. Merci beaucoup, Antonio: a la prochaine!

From the moment of arrival and till the moment of departure, our stay with António was perfect! The house and the garden are even more beautiful than the pictures show. We were quite overwhelmed by the fantastic flowers in big vases in every room, even in the kitchen. And the fridge was full of good things for our first breakfast - which was very considerate, because we arrived around midnight because of a changed flight schedule. António picked us up at the airport! What a service! Everything in the house functioned to perfection, and the bed is delightful. António helped with everything we needed help for and offered to do more, such as giving us interesting ideas about his homeland. We had some good talks and enjoyed a bit of laughing together, having more or less the same sense of humour, although we are from Scandinavia and António from 'the middle of the Atlantic Ocean'. Our stay on that beautiful island, São Miguel, was only just long enough to make it clear to us that we need to go back soon, and then, of course, we will stay in Vila Alegre again! Thank you, António!
