The photos do not truly show the magnificence of this property! The home is beautiful, comfortable and clean. The view and gardens surrounding the home are absolutely stunning. Location is rather central and you can easily get to any region/area of Sao Miguel. The homeowners, Joao and Maria were great hosts. They were very easy to work with, communicated excellently and offered many helpful suggestions. We definitely plan on returning to Quinta da Tilia!

Gem of a place! We loved the house, the gardens and the facilities. The view of the ocean from the house was exceptional. The garden was unique and beautiful, the perfect place to relax after a day of hikes and tourist activities. The host was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and went out of her way to provide information and tourist activities. The house is a short drive from most Sao Miguel attractions. This is a very special place and our experience was unforgettable.

It was perfect!

The house and gardens are beautiful, in a quiet location, exactly what we were looking for.

Our host Maria was amazing! She greeted us upon our arrival and showed us around her beautiful property which felt like a piece of paradise for 5 days. Quinta da Tilia in Capales, Sao Miquel is housed behind a gate, which provides security and large covered parking area. We enjoyed the view of the ocean from the patio along the entire home and the large outdoor property were we discovered oranges, tangerines, clementines, pineapples, bananas, and a couple of friendly chickens that wondered throughout the grounds. The location is also central to visit Ponte Delgada (10 minutes), airport (10-15 minutes), and all other scenic areas across the island are just a short drive away (30-45 minutes).

The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which was perfect for my family of 5. However, the beds were not very comfortable, with 2 fulls, and 2 twins (a bit too hard) and the pillows were lumpy. Lastly, the twin beds were incredibly small in width (European twin) and I would not recommend for adults taller than 5'3/5'4. My boys (21 and 22) who are about 5'10 to 5'11 and 185 lbs. rolled off the bed on a couple of occasions while sleeping. Unfortunately the pictures are outdated, there was no pool table which was disappointing and the family room appeared more roomy (some different furniture in room then photos online).
