    The location of the apartment is unbeatable with breathtaking views of the ocean. The host was very accommodating, the unit is clean and comfortable and the village is a 5min walk with great dining options. We loved our stay!

    Known for being the first settlement of Sao Miguel and now it is a pretty little town with old streets leading to the harbor. The local church, Nissan Senhora do Rosario is thought to have been the first parish on the island. Also, there is a Wheat Museum not too far away and worth checking out.

    Povoacao is small but big enough town with everything one needs for a great stay and relaxation. I would say, 10 days would be better than 7 days for a complete retreat without overpaying and "hustle and bustle" of a bigger city.

    The village is very small, not much to see.

    The village is very small, not much to see. It's a quiet place and a nice place to relax. Unfortunately it's a bit too far from the tons of points of interest outside the village. The roads to the village provide a fantastic view for the car passengers but with a lot of steep curves.

    Povoação is a small, quiet town on the southwest side of the island. It is right on the ocean and has a couple of local fresh seafood restaurants, a grocery store, post office, etc. and the town square is contained within a 3 block radius. It is easy to get around town by foot, but you need to have a car if you want to experience the rest of the island. It is a little off of the beaten path, but has great access to several walking trails. I liked that it was close to Furnas but had much more affordable accommodations.

    Owners are welcoming and helpful! Love the quietness of the location, surrounded by nature/farms. Perfect for when you want down time! Kitchen is very well equipped! Owners provided outdoor tables and chairs to enjoy your meal overlooking such beautiful rolling hills and vista. If you don't have a car. The bus 318 stops just 2 mins from the Quinta. The market (Casa Cheia) is about 10 mins walk. Povoaçao town is about 20-30 mins walk. There's beaches in town that are good for swimming with black sand.

    Our stay at the guesthouse was absolutely delightful. From the exceptional hospitality of the hostess to the magnificent breakfast made from fresh local produce, particularly the homemade dishes by Fatima herself, every aspect exceeded our expectations. Our child even likened the experience to that of a five-star hotel, only much cozier. When we return to San Miguel, we will definitely choose to stay here again. Additionally, the location was charming, and easily accessible by car.

    Absolutely lovely family home that has been converted into a darling B&B. Exceptionally clean. Welcoming. Fantastic breakfast. We had reserved the room facing the street but were upgraded for free to the mountain-facing room as we were the only guests for the winter weekend. The views of the mountain from our room and at breakfast were truly breathtaking. Highly recommend this hotel.

    Our stay at Miguel's place in Povoacao was fantastic. The room in his house was nicely renovated, cozy, and clean, providing a comfortable retreat after exploring the island. Miguel's warm hospitality made our experience even better, as he was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. We highly recommend his place for a pleasant and welcoming accommodation.

    I had an excellent time at Casa da Lomba do Cavaleiro. The place was very nice and the owner Rodrigo was extremely friendly and welcoming. I came to Povoacao for a race and he came to see me along the course and at the arrival. I highly recommend to stay at Casa da Lomba do Cavaleiro, this will feel like being home with your family.

    The room was quiet and had a beautiful view right on the water. Breakfast was a nice variety and the hotel was within walking distance of the town center, including the grocery store. We were able to easily see the sites in the area. The waiters at both Bellisimo and A Requiem went above and beyond to provide great service.

    The property was so beautiful and had a cute patio where we could sit and watch the cows grazing nearby, a garden, and a spacious room and common areas. It was close to town (Povoacao) and to the hot springs in Furnas which was great. The hosts were wonderful and great to chat with!!

    The owner and the all staff are 5 star’s, they are very kind. The peace that you can feel, the house and the garden, everything is amazing. Breakfast is better than some 4* Hotel’s. You have the opportunity to taste the best local food. Everything was very very good.
