Casita - Cantinho do Paraíso

This place is absolutely stunning. The views are truly amazing and the accommodation has everything you need plus more. It’s the best place to relax and stay on Santa Maria Island.

I wish we spent more time!

Wow, Casita do Cantinho exceeded our expectations in every way. We feel so fortunate to have stayed here during our visit. Pre-trip email comms from the owners were fantastic and greatly appreciated. We felt welcomed even before we arrived. On arrival, owners Lestor and Susane greeted us on-site to provide keys and to show us the casita and grounds -- again a warm welcome. The casita is, as others have noted, beautiful inside and outside. The grounds and surrounding area are quiet, rural and so beautiful. The bedroom is perfectly sized and comfy. The kitchen, dining area, living area, and bathroom are also quite adequately sized, nicely decorated, and comfortable. The short nature trail on the property shows how the owners care for the natural beauty and bounty of the land. How wonderful to sit near the beehive and watch the bees come and go! The natural beauty of the property, the wonderful view of the ocean, and the warm hospitality shown us during our stay...well, it is all quite incredible. We will most definitely stay here on future visits to Santa Maria, and would gladly recommend the same to friends and family. Thanks Lestor, Susana, and Casita do Cantinho! You Rock! See you another time.

Nestor and Susanna are terrific hosts, and the accommodations are excellent. It is the most quiet and beautiful place.

I have been in a more comfortable bed, and the driveway was a challenge, but it's still soo worth it

This is really a paradise house - it is so peaceful and quiet in there and the views are amazing. It feels like you are alone in the world - life changing experience. The house is very stylish and well-equipped with all the necessities. You have a large territory coming together with the house, including forest, terrace, view points. The drive to the nearest beach takes about 10 minutes and to the city is around 15 minutes. The hosts are very welcoming and willing to help with any questions/requests.

I cannot say enough great things about the Casita - Cantinho do Paraiso!!! 10 out of 10! I would live there forever if I could! The house is absolutely beautiful and the surroundings are breathtaking. Your own little slice of paradise in Santa Maria. My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and it truly was magical. The home, the views, the sunsets, the forest, the donkeys, the stars at night! Don't think, just book it! They have a Villa also that sleeps 4, we are already talking about coming back next year and bringing the kids. Susana and Nestor, thank you for being wonderful hosts too, so incredibly kind and helpful! We will see you again!

Nothing! Everything was perfect!

What a lovely home, in an even more beautiful setting! We could not have asked for a nicer place to spend a relaxing week of vacation. The views from the Casita were even better than the pictures. Additionally, the grounds have a nice small trail system and garden with several outdoor seating options. Great communication from Susana, before and during our stay. Thank you to Paulo for greeting us on arrival and ensuring we were having a good stay! The Casita has everything you need to cook, including a traditional outdoor grill. The washer and clothes line were much appreciated. If you are looking for a place to relax, look no further!

It was outstandingly gorgeous and the surroundings were breathtaking.

This casita is delightful, with everything one needs, and in a wonderful location. The hosts are super helpful, very welcoming and keen to assist in any way. We had a very relaxing couple of days here and highly recommend it

The drive was a bit un-nerving, especially after arriving in the dark. But after that it was fine.

Casita is a special place, the location is spectacular with a beautiful view from the top of the ocean. The house is beautiful, equipped with all possible comforts and elegantly furnished, a house in which we would liked to stay many more days. We were greeted by very kind owners and we keep beautiful memories of our stay. "Casita" is a true paradise in the Azores Islands, a place we hope to be able to return soon!!

Nothing, all is perfect!
