Casadacidade

Fantastic location close to all major downtown attractions. The host and his wife were outstanding. They shared their extensive knowledge of San Miguel and Ponta Delgada recommending restaurants and sights . The owner a professional photographer provided his own detailed maps of the area which were very helpful. If you desire a truly authentic Azorean experience look no further. You will feel like family!

Only that I couldn’t stay longer!

Pedro's care and helpfulness. His suggestions were really appreciated! Attention to details, homemade breakfast with local products.

I had a very nice stay at Casa da Cidade. The rooms are cozy, the breakfast is all local products and Pedro and Maria are great experts for all sorts of recommendations around the island. I would return anytime.

It was a fantastic stay, I cannot think of anything I didn’t like.

Very friendly people and a lovely & cosy atmosphere. And they have such a very cute dog ♡ they were super helpful and gave us good recommendations for restaurants & tours

Pedro and his wife were really helpful and friendly. They made me feel at home immediately. They also have a cute dog joining you for breakfast :) Also, Pedro suggested me some restaurants and places to go. I tried one of them, and it was a really local restaurant with delicious food.

So you get there, fresh off the flight from Lisbon and parked (unbeknownst to you, illegally) along the narrow street. Pedro, in all his Ernest Borgniney congeniality, ushers you into the parlor. Have a euro for the meter and cast the luggage aside my friends, actual and metaphysical, and let’s get you settled. Maps and an amiable dog appear, the latter a canine instantiation of Pedro - but desirous of belly rubs and your leftovers. A town full of restaurants, shops, and stories is revealed to you across the garden table. Ask about Furnas, ah but the island will be unveiled day by day and map by map - don’t get ahead of yourself . Up the gently curving stairway, skeleton keys prefer some artful jiggling. The rooms? Oh, the rooms are quite nice & clean. Views of the garden. A warming towel rack. Fickle Azorean breezes against the tall windows. Breakfast is fine too; sweet breads and such. Pumpkin jam. Local cheese. Coffee. The salient features here are the people (and dog), their relaxed competence, local wisdom, and friendliness. So, sure -- come for the central location, the breakfast, the clean, quiet and well appointed rooms. None of that is likely to disappoint. But that's not what you'll remember.
