Guest Reviews
- Rafael (7/5): Eficaz, muito bem situado, mas com espaço para melhorar. - A localização é fenomenal. Está próximo das Sete Cidades, do Aeroporto e de restaurantes.
Tem estacionamento com fartura e próximo da entrada.
O self-check in e check out é eficaz.
O valor é acessível. Creio que na parte de infraestrutura (paredes, beirais de janelas) há algum trabalho a fazer. Os quartos acumulam humidade da condensação e isso provoca que a tinta das paredes descasque e o armário cheire a mogo. Se houvesse respiração nos quartos esse problema ficava resolvido - bastaria colocar respiros.
Apesar de adorar animais, um dos cães da quinta ladra como um louco desde bem cedo.
A cozinha só tinha dois pormenores que precisavam de melhoramento: a chaleira por baixo da televisão é um perigo de incêndio e o exaustor fazia um som ensurdecedor.
Digo isto como sugestões de melhoramento, porque no geral gostei.
- Alicia (9/5): - Ich blieb für 2 Wochen im Horse Room. Dieser hat zwei Fenster, eins davon mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf das Meer. Die Betten sind bequem, wenn es kalt ist hat man genug Decken zu Verfügung. Ebenfalls gibt es eine elektronische Heizung im Zimmer. Unter der Betten befindet sich Stauraum und im Zimmer ist ein Tisch mit zwei Stühlen.
Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und im Kühlschrank & Schränken ist genug Platz für alle.
Die Bäder sind neuwertig und sehr sauber. Benötigt man neue Handtücher erhält man diese auf Nachfrage vom Personal.
Die Feuchtigkeit und die Inseketen halten sich vollkommen im Rahmen dessen was man von den Azoren zu erwarten hat. Ist in anderen Unterkünften auf der Insel ähnlich.
An der Unterkunft gibt es ausreichend Parkplätze und mit dem Auto braucht man maximal 1h bis zum entferntesten Punkt der Insel. Die Lage ist also wunderbar für die Erkundung der Insel geeignet.
- Jacques (8/5): - Le décor extérieur est vraiment magnifique
- Diego (10/5): -
- irene (10/5): Muy recomendable - Cama cómoda, vistas preciosas, cocina equipada Todo muy bien
- Atkinson (6/5): - Good parking and kitchen and shower View is very nice in good weather but is high enough up that in poor weather you're in the clouds

Il m’a jeter mon fromage et mon beure que je mange au petit dej

- medeiros (8/5): Em meio a natureza - A vista e linda excelente escolha para quem gosta da natureza Fica ao lado de pastos verdes , rodeado de natureza Instalações precisam de maior cuidado
- Petr (8/5): - Dobře vybavení kuchyně. Čistota. Lokalita je vhodná tak na 2-3dny
- laura (7/5): -
- Alvaro (9/5): Estancia estupenda - La ubicación y el entorno
Todo estaba a media hora del alojamiento El olor a tuberías del baño y que con esas vistas no tuviese ninguna mesa y sillas fuera para poder desayunar con vistas
- vasco (9/5): -
- Moritz (1/5): Dog forced to live in his own feces crying all the time - There is a dog kept on a very short chain crying all the time. He had no water and his feces were all over his place. This was truly heartbreaking. We were shocked on how a family member could be treated this way. If you love animals don't go there !
- David (9/5): -
- Joannna (10/5): - Duży pokój, bardzo duża łazienka, dobrze wyposażona kuchnia i super czysto. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Polecam!
- Sophia LINDBERG (1/5): Extremely Disappointing and Unsanitary Stay – Avoid at All Costs - On the positive side, the location is convenient, very close to a large, good-quality store. The refrigerator and freezer worked well, as did the stove. They kindly placed a bowl of fruit from the garden, and trash bags in common areas were regularly replaced. Check-in was smooth. The property also has large, pleasant common areas, including two dining areas and a small lounge space. I would strongly advise against staying at this accommodation. The property is nothing like the photos—extremely run-down and neglected. Large patches of paint are peeling off the walls, furniture is worn out, and there is no proper shower cabin. The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. Hot water takes ages to arrive and runs cold quickly, especially if anyone else is using water simultaneously.
The bathroom ceiling is covered in mold, and we even found a cockroach on the floor. The kitchen cabinets were full of insects, and when we took out a cutting board, it was crawling with tiny bugs. The bedroom was infested with insects, despite a posted notice claiming that insects are “common in the Azores”—which is not true based on my experience with multiple other stays in the region.
The room we received did not match the one advertised. It was said to have an ocean view, which it did not, and the property does not have a terrace as claimed. The place is extremely noisy; a connected dog barked for hours on end. The air was stale, the environment unhygienic, and the overall condition of the property appalling.
Despite these minor positives, this is by far the dirtiest, most unpleasant accommodation we have ever stayed in, even compared to extensive travel worldwide.
Do not book this place.
- João (7/5): -
- CLAUDE (8/5): - La propriété des lieux, la literie confortable.
- Eduard (10/5): -
- Steullet (7/5): Séjour très agréable bien situé. Seul bémol un chien qui aboyait sans discontinuer. -
- Gabriele (9/5): - Eine sehr gute Lage, nah zum Flughafen, viele Orte von dort schnell erreichbar, gute Parkmöglichkeit vor dem Haus. Vom horse-room hatten wir einen fantastischen Blick aufs Meer, mit Sonnenaufgang! Insgesamt eher einfach ausgestattet, dafür ein super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Gemeinschaftsküche ist sehr gut benutzbar. Wir kämen das nächste Mal wieder. Der einzige Ort auf Sao Miguel, wo wir Mücken erlebt haben. Eine Sitzmöglichkeit draussen wäre noch toll und ein Schrank im Zimmer.
- Carlos Javier Pérez Cast (5/5): - El lugar y que estaba bien equipado. Olor a humedad en la habitación, nos quedabamos sin agua caliente, teníamos el termo a la altura de la ventana y daba unas explosiones que asustaban, había un perro que no nos dejaba dormir cuando empezaba a dormir y le falta algo de mantenimiento.
- Vanessa (9/5): -
- Amparo (7/5): Quinta do norte - El entorno La falta de luz señalando la entrada desde la carretera por la noche ,y tb dentro del recinto.
El baño de la triple habitación necesita ser revisado por el fuerte olor a desagüe.
- almudena (7/5): - La ubicación es muy buena para poder conectarte con toda la isla. Otros clientes se llevaron nuestra llave del portón del candado de acceso y nadie nos la repuso confiando que los clientes la devolverían, tuvimos que depender de otros clientes para acceder a la Quinta hasta 2 días después que la puerta permaneció abierta (por problemas técnicos ).
- André (8/5): - Funcionárias simpáticas e prestativas, e camas super confortáveis!
- Jordi (8/5): Estancia corta pero muy satisfactoria - Habitaciones e instalaciones muy limpias y cocina muy completa. Ambiente muy silencioso y tranquilo. Acceso y aparcamiento muy fácil. La cerradura para abrir la puerta de la habitación no era muy cómoda: había que encajar y girar muchas veces la llave hasta acertar.
- Maísa (9/5): - Alojamento agradável, boa localização (cerca de 10/15min de Ponta Delgada e de fácil acesso), sossegado, cama e almofadas confortáveis. Dormimos muito bem! Recomendo sem dúvida.
- Alien (8/5): Centraal gelegen en prachtig zicht! - Het uitzicht is prachtig.
Ligging zeer centraal. Soms geen warm water.
Wij misten een terrasje of tafeltje buiten om te genieten van het uitzicht ‘s avonds.
- Laura (9/5): Habitación agradable en las afueras de Capelas a 20 minutos de Ponta delgada. - La habitación es amplia. El baño no tiene baño, ni ventilador y la habitación huele mal a humedad. Nada muy exagerado pero un pelín desagradable al entrar.
- Davidzamora (8/5): -
- Lucien (7/5): - Prix intéressant, cuisine à disposition, personnel très gentil Les chambres ne disposent pas de moustiquaires et étaient humides lors de notre séjour. Les aménagements sont un peu vieillissants.
- Dewi (10/5): Home away from hone ❤️ - It’s super clean (everyday cleaning and clean towels) good kitchen! Room spacious! We really felt like home!! You do need a car but very central to discover the island! We loved it!
- Wilhelmus (10/5): Exceptional - Great value for money
- Gianfranco (9/5): Superb - Full of parking spots, clean place and with a really nice view The bathroom was a little far from the rooms
- Jiri (9/5): Excellent value for money. Large room (cow), clean bathroom, well equipped kitchen. Friendly staff. - Excellent value for money. Large room (cow room), clean bathroom, well equipped kitchen. Friendly staff.
- Rajani (5/5): Passable - Pretty area
Quick response when I message for something via Booking.com No cafe nearby
If you reach in the night, no lights and it’s difficult to locate property.. On the day I landed weather was bad and it was so dark and no staff when I reached there
Charged extra 12 euros as part of some new tax policy in Portugal which was not mentioned when I booked on booking.com
Rooms not very clean
- Maria (8/5): Very good -
- Gabriel (8/5): Very good -
- Gabriel (8/5): Very good - Nice location, clean and comfortable. Unstable hot water access
- Krzysztof (6/5): Pleasant -
- Eloise (10/5): Exceptional - We had an amazing stay. The house is very clean and the kitchen is fully equipped. The owner is very very kind. We booked the “horse room” and we had a fantastic view in the morning. We highly recommend this place.
- Justyna (8/5): Simple but practical budget accommodation, I'd recommend it - - The property has just a couple of rooms so there is never too many people to share the kitchen and it's calm.
- I received a lovely gift for my birthday - delicious local products with a note
- The surroundings are calm and beautiful, the "horse room" upstairs comes with a beautiful ocean view
- The beds and pillows were very comfortable
- We took two rooms and in late October it was great value for money
- Just 15 min drive from the airport - The "cow room" downstairs is very damp, it smells like mold and you can see that despite the thickness of the walls (the building is very solid), the moisture gets through and damages the wall paint. Please note this is a common problem in the Azores due to high moisture in general and I experienced it before even in a 4-star hotel. But the rooms upstairs seem to have much less dampness so if you're sensitive to it, don't take the double room with a bathroom downstairs called "the cow room".
- Gabriela (9/5): For the money really great accommodation! - Wow the views are amazing, rooms are clean, common facilities are good. Omg the bathroom is so far away from the room, that is really something we did not like, especially at night when you need to go. Wifi was only working downstairs in common area, sometimes upstairs but mostly not.
- Oryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luca (7/5): Nice but...could be better with minimum effort - Location in a quiet zone, outside the hustle bustle of Ponta Delgada but quite close to go if wanting to spend the night out; Capelas is in the middle of the island so very strategic for visiting.There are nice portuguese restaurants around if you don't want to drive to Ponta Delgada. The view of the ocean is superb. Be aware that there are others activity in the other buildings around ( a school, boys playing soccer, a guy repairing tires, cars always going in and out) personally these things did not bother me, but it's better to know before because if you are looking for quiet and privacy this is not the place for you!
A very discomforting thing is that at night all lights are off in the main square , there is not even a light on when you arrive with your car so you have to stumble in the dark to the main door, personally I felt this a bit unsafe and unwelcoming. I know that saving energy is a must today but there is a limit when safety is involved.
Generally the house is nice, the cleanness is exceptional and it compensate the general feel of lack of maintenance, there was paint peeling off from the walls inside and even in the beedrom, with some mould forming, which can be dangerous for health. Basic maintenance should be done at the beginning of the season at least re-painting what is peeling off or humid. It does not cost much and makes things appear nicer and healthier, but sometimes you see that owners just don't want to spend a single euro for this and get the maximum profit, well, in this case you get not so good reviews, pardon my outspokenness.
Last thing, check in and check out are self made so you don't meet anyone, this can be nice but it's also impersonal and lacking warmth and welcomennes, this is my personal opinion, this can be good for a big city but in a holiday island like Sao Miguel I expecting a little more companionship and welcoming.
- Petr (7/5): Well situated place with good performance price ratio. Quite retro:) - It is 15min far from the airport and very close to main destination Sete Cidades.
Good for people, who wants to meet other travelers.
Well equiped kitchen, place in fridge and freezer. Vrey comfortable parking with many places and huge areal.
Nice view from Horse room.
Easy access, time independent - code on maindoor.
Good comunication.
Very cheap. Shared kitchen brings not the best clean of course, even though it was cleaning every day.
Bathroom and toilet are down the stairs - not very good in night.
No closets, just the space under the bed.
- Cristina (9/5): Very relaxing and comfortable stay - The nature and peaceful environment, a spacious parking, the kitchen at the disposal of guests Nothing
- Anita (9/5): Superb - Good location to see the west coast of the island. The room was simple but comfortable. We sleep in a horse room with a beautiful view of the ocean. The shared kitchen is well equipped. There are two bathrooms. Since there were not many guests during our visit, we were comfortable. From the room on the second floor you have to go to the bathroom on the first floor. It is not very pleasant at night.
The territory is vast. Some rest areas could be installed outside.
- Stefanie (8/5): - The property is great for the price, but not as clean as you would wish for. Location is good, its fast to get everywhere.
- Henriette (10/5): Exceptional - Great Location, easy Check-in, great facilities and e fully equipped kitchen. Would definitely book again! Nothing
- Joana (8/5): Very good -
- Zuzanasajdl. (8/5): In general we reccomend the accomodation to other guests to stay. - The accomodation was clean and calm, we enjoyed that we were alone here entire week.
There is a big yard suitable for parking.
We appreciated the self-check-in and check out.
The accomodation was well equipped. There could be a more efficient central heating and better thermal insulation of the windows.
The heating of water should be faster, especially when more guests are present.
A small wardrobe in our Horse room would be fine.
- Natalia (8/5): lovely, calm and cozy place! 🫶🏻 - great location and amazing view from the room! very comfortable, spacious kitchen and good facilities! plenty of parking places and really nice stuff:) it was quite cold in the kitchen and in the bathrooms, no heaters:( fortunately we had a heater in the room and it was really warm!
- Zuzanna (7/5): Good -
- Luigi (10/5): We were 6 friends and I believe that this place was the perfect place to enjoy the simplicity of live! Thank you for thi - The authenticity of the place and the kindness of the persons who took care of us. -
- Radovan (7/5): Good - No problem with late arrival. Good central location. Parking place. Wet wall in Pig room.
- Carolina (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jiří (7/5): Good - The host is super nice and helpful and location is great compromise to experience the whole island. Also for the money it is good value. There were even some home-grown vegetables provided free of charge. It is a farm property, facility is very damp, almost moldy, se take this into account if you have allergies. The cleanliness is so-so and you are likely to have many bugs if you forget to close the windows. Also do not expect to have anything dry if you try to wash your clothes here.
- Kristiyana (9/5): Superb - Comfortable, very well arranged, everything needed was at our disposal
- Klara (5/5): Slightly disappointing - I really liked the views The room was very humid and smelled like there was mildew. We did not see any staff through the entire stay.
- Jolanta (7/5): Good -
- Daniel (10/5): - Clean, tranquility and perfectly located
- MOSHE (4/5): - EVERY THING
- Tânia (5/5): Passable -
- Nara (10/5): Exceptional - The good vibes and the animals. Nothing.
- Tomasz (9/5): Superb - Very quiet place in the village.
- Weronika (8/5): The wonderful island of the Azores - - large comfortable beds
- fully equipped kitchen
- good wifi internet
- nice staff - answers additional questions
- I had a great view from the window
- the facility is next to a kindergarten / school, but it is quiet and you can't hear any noise - The room is a bit chilly, but I was in November - there are extra blankets in the room
- Martijn (7/5): great location but in low season not everything expected - the location is perfect to visit the entire island
view is amazing. can see both sea.
kitchen fully furnished
big room beds really hard
pillows hard too
no staff at all during the whole stay
no animals as says on the description only a horse attached and dog outside during storm
- Gonçalo (9/5): Superb -
- Jadwiga (10/5): Felt like home :) - Good localization, clean room and bathroom, nice view from the windows, well- equipped kitchen.
It was so great that we didn't want to leave! It's really nice place with great view from the windows. We really felt like home. Staff was wonderful - unproblematic, helpful and super nice. Thank you for having us - we hope we'll be back soon! :))
- Justine (4/5): Disappointing -
- Vitocagnazzo (6/5): Pleasant -
- Andrew (7/5): Simple room with great views - Amazing view, great family setting, quiet area, easy check-in. Stayed in the "Cow Room." No directions for check out, so we just guessed what we needed to do. Beds were pretty hard (only complaint).
- Tobias (8/5): perfect family location - We booked the quinta because our son loves animals, and the quinta is just perfect for kids.
The shared kitchen guarantees that you meet nice people (who we met again on the other side of the Island - fantastic) The staff offered us fresh homegrown strawberries and provided eggs from their chickens. The only negative point to mention is that we booked four differen locations on Sao Miguel and wanted to explore by bus and hiking. This is unfortunately impossible frim here because the only real bus connection goes via Ponta Delgada and nearly every tripb besides Ponta Delgada would take 2h one way.
make sure to stay in this lovely place, but get a car while you do! 😉
- Antonio (10/5): - Nice place!
- Rita (10/5): Quero voltar - Foi uma estadua bem agradável, sitios lindos, vontade de ficar muito mais tempo para desfrutar mais das paisagens e dos lugares maravilhosos.... A quinta do Norte um sitio agradavel com um nascer do sol lindo, adorei.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - It was clean, but very cold, without hot water.
The bathroom is downstairs, and bedrooms are upstairs, so not so practical.
Nice view on the ocean and very green area, but definitely not for a winter period.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Havia um animal à solta, aparentava ser agressivo, não havia luz suficiente no parque para entrar no alojamento, estava tudo às escuras.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wszystko OK. Czysty pokój z ładną łazienką. Dostep do wspólnej kuchni. Samodzielne zameldowanie. Polecam
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Si es para una o dos noche y solo para dormir perfecto.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr familiär und herzlich, toller Ausblick, tolle Lage!
- CARLOS (10/5): - Es un sitio muy acogedor y con buenas instalaciones
- Paulo (8/5): Recomendável! Excelente localização e staff - Localização, recepção/acolhimento excelente. Pontos menos agradáveis: localização de wc; tempo de espera necessário para ter água quente e serviço tv. Contudo, recomendo.
