About this house rental
Comfortable, modern suite on the ground floor of a completely restored 19th-century villa in rural São Miguel, Azores. The suite features a large bedroom and a fire place in the living room.
At the base of the Sete Cidades volcano and on the edge of the town of Capelas, Vila Alegre is only a short drive from north and south coast beaches, as well as the island's main city, Ponta Delgada. Once our family’s summer home, Vila Alegre has been completely renovated. It was our dream to blend the form and character of a traditional Azorean country home with modern comforts.
Enjoy carefully restored antique furniture as well as a new mattresses and sofas. With our wonderful temperate climate, a wood burning fireplace and electric heaters warms the suite during winter stays; thick stone walls and tile keep the suite cool in the summer. With respect to sound, the suite is extremely well insulated, with concrete between floors guaranteeing privacy and eliminating the sound bleed between the suites. The suites includes WIFI, cable TV in various languages, as well as secure parking within the traditional stone walls of the property
Enjoy easy walks to local shops, country lanes and full access to the property's serene gardens. At Vila Alegre, our beautiful gardens, walkways, benches and gazebo are all around you. Enjoy our covered outdoor barbecue patio and many spaces in the gardens for relaxation, contemplation, or play.
At Vila Alegre we welcome people from all around the world and all walks of life. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend getaway, a longer stay in the country, or a relaxing family vacation, Vila Alegre is a spectacular, one-of-a-kind home base for your stay in São Miguel. Public transport passes directly in front of Vila Alegre for the short ride south into Ponta Delgada or north into Capelas.
Our suite is ideal for couples, individuals, or small families. A crib and/or cot is available upon request.

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!

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!

We stayed at Vila Alegre with Antonio for 17 nights in February 2026. From the moment we arrived we were treated to Antonio’s gracious hospitality. He went out of his way to make us feel at home by supplying us with many delicious treats from the island including bread, fresh eggs from his chicken, fruits from his gardens as well as cheeses and jams. The accommodations were bright, clean, private and the surrounding gardens filled with tropical trees and flowers felt like paradise. During our stay he checked in with us regularly to make sure we had what we needed (and to drop off more fresh eggs!). The vila is just a short distance from the airport and downtown Ponta Delgada and an easy drive to all the beautiful sites that Sao Miguel has to offer. The bed was very comfortable and we loved waking up to the sound of mooing cows and singing birds in the distance. We also really appreciated his flexibility with early check in and late check out. We were sorry to have to say goodbye!
