    Breakfast was fantastic, gin-o-clock is wonderful. The beds are so comfortable I genuinely fell asleep in 5 minutes after testing it. The hosts take great care to make you feel welcomed and have huge hearts.

    This is a great property located just outside Ponta Delgada and not far from the main road links. It's a quiet location that is tastefully restored. The breakfast was also a good one with fresh local produce. Top points for the staff and owners...

Neighbourhood information

Located in farm land close to the main town of Ponta Delgada, you are more likely to see our neighbourhood cows rather than crowds of people. The property is in a rural location 5 minutes by car from the main town of Ponta Delgada. We are close enough to access the facilities of the city, but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. We strongly recommend that guests hire a car as the best way to use our estate as your base to explore the island. Public transport on the island, including taxis, is limited. As we are in the countryside, we are NOT within walking distance of supermarkets or restaurants.
