It was very nice stay in Emanuel apartment. Apartment was excellent and good placed. Emanuel was very helpfull.

We had a great time in this apartment! Emanuel was very flexible about our arrival and departure times. When arriving at his apartment, it was nice to see he even provided things for breakfast. Other than that, the apartment has everything you could possibly need. The town is a bit quiet, but it's a great base to explore the east side of the island. The advice in one of the reviews to navigate to the Sol-Mar supermarket and health center was really useful, as not all street names are registered in (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps. We can definitely recommend staying here!

Nice accommodation in the calm and nice surrounding of Povoacao. Good stay for trips around the north and east side of Sao Miguel. We were welcomed with a pineapple. Emanuel offered us to call him if we needed any help. Very nice and friendly host. Thanks for lovely days at yours.

Excelente! A casa é acolhedora e acomodou-me a mim e à minha família na perfeição. Há tudo que é necessário à porta de casa e tem ao mesmo tempo o sossego da ilha. O Emanuel é simpático e atencioso. Adorei Povoação. Recomendo vivamente!

Apartament jest położony w centrum miasta, niedaleko głównego placu i supermarketu. Apartament jest przestronny (dwie sypialnie, salon, aneks kuchenny i łazienka), a jednocześnie przytulny. Kuchnia jest wyposażona we wszystkie niezbędne sprzęty. Gospodarze są przemili, troskliwi i bardzo pomocni (niezaleznei od pory dnia i nocy).

We had a nice stay at this appartement. It is very central in the village, next to a daily openend supermarket,a small zoo and the central place. The appartement has all the necessary things and is very cosy. Thanks for letting us stay there!

The location is wonderful. There is an excellent restaurant very close. We had a great stay.

The flat is located at a place doing a little noisy but which has the advantage being close to all, center, restaurants or not far from a quiet beach. The apartment is properly equipped. In my opinion I prefer the small town of Povacao compared to Furnaz but it is my notice(URL HIDDEN)

We had a wonderful time at Carla's house! The house is exactly as represented, with stylish decor and an airy feel. She has 3 guest rooms, but the other two were booked so our daughter stayed in with us. Our beds were very comfortable. Our 14-yr-old daughter used an airbed (very appropriate for "Airbnb!) and there was still plenty of room for us and all of our luggage in the room - loads of storage space. Breakfasts are great and feature Carla's fresh, home-baked bread. We enjoyed having breakfast and talking with the other guests. Carla gave us our own cabinet space in the kitchen to keep groceries, and we were free to use the kitchen to prepare meals for ourselves when we wanted to. Also, Carla and Joao have two very friendly German Shepherds and a friendly cat (the dogs stay outside - the cat comes in and out). We were given loads of great info about places to go and things to do. We hope to stay again on our next visit to Sao Miguel!

We had a wonderful stay at Carla's house! Despite the amazing view on the coastline of Povoação (where the weather always seems to be better then on the rest of island (;) the house was clean & bright and Carla was a perfect host during the whole time! She even made breakfast for us (with delicious selfmade cake and once pancakes!). We can fully recommend staying at Carla's place if you plan to visit the Azores.

Carla and João offer a friendly B&B experience on the southeast corner of São Miguel island - the whole house is spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast is great. On a clear day the view to the Atlantic ocean and over the hills above Povoaçao. João was really helpful in offering us some tips on the walks to do nearby, as well as some great restaurants. We would especially recommend Carla and João's place for couples and for those looking to interact with other travellers over breakfast (the house has 3 rooms that are available for travellers - bathroom facilities are shared). Excellent value in probably the most beautiful part of the island!

Carla truly has a spot in paradise, and she is a generous and warm host, and a baker of incredible cakes! We felt very comfortable in her lovely home and enjoyed meeting and talking to her other guests. The view from the porch is gorgeous and the location is very good for exploring the eastern part of the island. She helped us navigate the area and made valuable recommendations for our stay. We hope to return soon!

We were heartly welcomed by Carla in a wonderful modern home with an incredible view over land and ocean and a cosy wood fire against the freshness of the late winter on the Acores. Additionally - and that's what we really liked - we were instantly "used" as cushions by Carla's two cats. The bedrooms are really practical with lots of stowage place and the two bathrooms are as spacious, you could easily dance within. Carla prepares an excellent breakfast with homemade bread and cake and assists in any questions you may have. It was a wonderful experience to stay with her and share the confort and beauty of her home!

Nice, big and clean house - Carla and Joao make an effort to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Welcome tee, cooky, and a nice introdution to the island they love (and we did, too!). Tiny remark is that it's a bit chilly in the house - heating is centrally regulated.

The house was a perfect place to stay. The house is located on a mountain with an overwhelming view on the sea. And it's a good starting point to go hiking in the mountains nearby. Carla was a perfect host. She was so nice and kind and was helpful in every way. She made a great breakfast for us every day and it was a pleasure to stay at her place. Thanks.

We had a good time at Carla and Joao's place. It is a beautiful house with a great view on the ocean. Every morning they served delicious breakfast with homemade bread and cake. Also they suggested us things to do and places to visit on the island. Thank you very much that we could stay at your place!

We had a nice welcome with pastry and all sorts of local delicate food and drinks. The house was very very clean!

Fatima was very welcoming and an exceptional host. The house is beautiful, modern and clean and very spacious. We felt like we were staying in a villa! Fatima left us milk and water in the fridge as well as local treats and liqueur to try. The place was also very well outfitted with safety equipment like fire extinguishers and a first aid kit, we felt very safe. It's also very conveniently located close to town and right above Fatima's convenience store. It took us a bit of walking back and forth to find it as its on the second floor over a store but she spotted us looking confused, walking around the street and was quick to invite us in. I would definitely recommend staying here. We absolutely loved it!

This place is really perfect for a stay at Povoacao! The rooms were absolutly clean, there where biscuits for us when wie arrived and absolutely enough space. It's even directly located in the centre and Fatima was so so friendly. It's just perfect for a trip to Furnas for example.

A casa é excelente, limpa e com todas as comodidades para que se sinta em sua própria casa. A cozinha está completamente equipada, a casa de banho tinha champoos, gel de banho, toalhas lavadas. Todos os quartos têm Internet rápida, limpos e confortáveis. Não nos faltou nada, aconselho vivamente a casa a famílias.

My son and I had a wonderful time in Povoacao! The location of Fatima's place is perfect to explore the surrounding areas. The apartment itself is very spacious and the amenities are great. My son REALLY enjoyed the biscuits that were left for us to enjoy and the orange liqueur was a yummy treat. Everything was perfect for our stay. Thank you!!

Fantastique maison, les hôtes ont été spectaculaires, toujours inquiet au sujet de nous. mes grâce à eux. Je pense qu'il est avec ces comportements que le tourisme aux Açores peut aller de l'avant. Je recommande vivement cet endroit. 6 étoiles.

I loved the house! We were well received and were still pampered with some cookies and liquor. Congratulations and thank you for sympathy.

Un superbe accueil avec des petites gourmandises locales... Beaucoup de temps à nous accueillir et nous expliquer le fonctionnement de la maison. La propreté du lieu absolument irréprochable. Une maison super équipée, confortable, spacieuse, très bien située pour visiter l'est de l'île. Très pratique l'épicerie du dessous tenue par nos hôtes. Y aller les yeux fermés. Merci encore.

Nous avons été très bien accueillis ! L'appartement est très propre et confortable. Et très bien situé dans la ville, proche commerce et port. Bon endroit pour découvrir la partie est de l'île.

Carla and her husband were perfect hosts! They met us downtown showed us to the place and welcome us with local wine and cheese. The apartment was just what we needed and it was so great to be walking distance from town. The church Bells are loud but it is all part of the charm. We would go back any day!

Io e il mio ragazzo siamo stati ospiti di Carla dal 6 al 10 agosto. La casa ha soddisfatto pienamente le nostre aspettative e bisogni in quanto accogliente, pulita e comoda. Essa infatti è situata nel centro di Povocao, paese caratteristico e tranquillo, posizione comoda per visitare le principali attrazioni turistiche dell'isola (terme Dona beja, lagoa das furnas, parco Terra nostra etc.). Inoltre Carla e suo marito sono stati ospitali e disponibili. Vivamente consigliata.

The house was nice! It had everything we need and more! Good and nice ubication. Carla was very kind with us and she gave us a lot of information about the island. Very recomended!!

Carla and her husband Joe are very nice and comforting people who made our stay lovely - besides a good guidance into places to visit, we received a bottle of wine and some welcome cookies as a welcome gift, was great to try it! :) The apartment is a 2-floor house, equipped with everything needed for a long or short stay, actually it has even more than an average traveler would need :) The village itself is extremely cozy and quiet. We had a great time in Azores, I do suggest this apartment for a joyful trip!

Really great place to stay! I would recommend it to everyone!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay on our honeymoon! Carla and her husband Joe were fantastic hosts and the apartment boasted a of the amenities of a home away from home. Carla and Joe ensured that our stay (and honeymoon) were memorable by offering local food and drink for us to enjoy and by offering great suggestions regarding beaches and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment and area (povacoa is a lovely town with many conveniences (including groceries, restaurants, bars, and a night club within walking distance) that is also close to furas and other lovely attractions. Thanks to Carla and joe for your wonderful hospitality!

Buen piso, muy limpio y totalmente equipado, situado en pueblo tranquilo cerca de sitios de interes.

Lina's apartment was absolutely charming and spotlessly clean. Very spacious and well stocked with food for breakfast and wine when we arrived late after a delayed flight. Thank you, Lina! It was a great base to visit every other part of the island - everything is easy to reach from here. It was very hot when we were there last week - I think unusually so, so perhaps a fan would be a welcome addition for the hot nights. Lina was very welcoming and met us when we arrived in town too. Highly recommended.

O apartamento da Sra. Lina corresponde na íntegra ao descrito no anúncio. A Povoação é uma localidade muito pacata, à beira mar e próxima das Furnas. Não é muito central para conhecer a parte nordeste e noroeste da ilha! A Sra. Lina é uma optima anfitriã, quando chegamos tínhamos um cabaz de produtos regionais que foi um oprimo cartão de boas vindas para quem tinha chegado de um voo com duas horas de atraso e uma hora de carro a chover durante a madrugada! A casa é muito confortável com tudo o que é necessário! Recomendo!

This is a very nice and comfortable flat in the centre of Povoacao, close to the beach, pubs, and even mini zoo. When we arrived everything was exactly as it should be, plus there was a very generous welcome pack waiting for us. I can definitely recommend this place for a stay on Sao Miguel!

L'appartement de Lina est tout neuf et offre tout le confort nécessaire pour quelques jours de vacances. Il est situé tout près de l'église de Povoaçao et il est très facile de se garer juste devant. Lina est très amicale et nous a accueilli avec une bouteille de vin et de quoi grignoter. Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans ce logement et je le recommande à 100 %.

Lina's place was really great and complied with the pictures! It is well located, really close to the city center but still in a calm area. Lina was really accommodating on our arrival time, and offered us some local specialties!

Buena limpieza, bonito apartamento, cumple expectativas

We had a wonderful stay at Lina's House. The house is very modern and very clean, and everything is brand new. Lina was very kind and met us in the center of town to give us the keys.

Lina's apartment is lovely, pictures are accurate with all the amenities you need and she even had a few groceries waiting to greet us like pasteries, milk, juice, jam etc which was a nice touch. The location is less than 5 mins walk to the grocery store, cafes, waterfront harbour, pharmacy & ATM. Very safe neighbourhood & town with plenty of street parking.

Miguel war immer hilfsbereit und freundlich, sein Haus sehr sauber und wirklich zu empfehlen.

Our host made us feel very welcome and was very accommodating . The upstairs area was very large and comfortable and private. Extremely good value.

Miguel ist ein großzügiger, offener Mensch, der mich in seinem sehr sauberen Haus liebevoll wie ein Vater umsorgt hat. Mit viel Enthusiasmus hat er mir in ausgedehntem Spaziergang die Landschaft um Umgebung nahegebracht. Sein großes Haus liegt in einem Ort, in dem ich nur friedvolle und angenehme Menschen erlebt habe. Er hat zwei liebe Kinder, um die er sich liebevoll kümmert. Er ist ein sehr empfehlenswerter Gastgeber und bei einem weiteren Urlaub auf den Azoren komme ich gerne wieder in sein Haus.

Compared to the other places on the island, Povoacao is not a busy place. It's probably due to its location. It's a place for relaxing and experiencing the local life. There is an easy connection with this site to the east of the island (highway, little traffic) and Furnas (mountain road, easy to drive). Miguel is a nice person and easy to communicate with. Every morning he prepares nice breakfast for me as well. On my next trip to the island, I will contact him again.

La habitacion en realidad es como un mini apartamento tienes salita de estar,baño y un balcon.Por la mañana te deja el desayuno preparado .Desde que llegamos nos hizo sentir como en casa. Miguel nos facilito toda la informacion necesaria de la zona. Ha sido una grata experiencia en la que hemos ganado un amigo.

Miguel es muy familiar y servicial. El espacio es amplio con una terraza de vistas a Povoaçao idonea para desayunar.

Miguel is a Fantastic host and very friendly. Very helpful in providing recommendations for nearby attractions and non touristy places to visit. The place is in the centre of the town and close to everything (grocery, restaurants, pier). Miguel is a great person to sit and have discussions with. We hope to come back soon!

Miguel was the best host. He made it really easy to find his place and welcomed us in his home in the middle of Povoacao. Miguel was very welcoming and asked us when we arrived at his house if we wanted to go paragliding. We've never tried anything like that on Airbnb. One night we also had dinner with Miguel and his friends. It was the best night with great food and discussions about politics, Denmark, Portugal and many other things. We really enjoyed Miguel's place and it is perfectly located as a base for hiking or mountainbike trips in the area. Also very close to Furnas! We can highly recommend this place!

Wonder full place in an amazing landscape. Nicier woman in charge of the house. Maria de Deus made us fell like we where home. Apart from the room there is a huge garden including BBQ and orchard were you can relax on your spare time. If you have any turist doubt don't hesitate asking her, she will give you the best indications around. Is worth staying here for a week and get the feeling of Sao Miguel Island. Home made breakfast every day.. what else can I say!

we had a perfect stay! the house and garden are beautiful - and huge. it would have been nice to stay for more than the one night we had. if you have a car, it seems like the perfect place to spend a few days and discover the island from. and dina, the caretaker, is a very lovely lady, who does indeed serve a whopping breakfast. just so others don't make the same mistakes we did: the house is right next to the church of Lomba do Loução. if you drive through the village and hit an intersection of dirt roads, you've gone too far. although it's possible that dina's husband will come and find you :) very highly recommended.

We are now in our second bnb, still on Sao Miguel and are already missing Maria & Dina! Aperfect place for staying on Sao Miguel! Excellent breakfast and wonderfull persons! They made our holiday special.

We are a french couple and we usually travel around the world in bed and breakfast, but This one is the best ever! Maria and Dina are more welcoming, friendly and helpful than you Can imagine. Maria has everything you need, the breakfast is delicious (she even gives you fruits and the rest over for your lunch), she can do your laundry, and tells you what to visit! We felt ever better than at home, Maria is a real mother

Große und saubere Zimmer, direkt neben der Kirche etwas oberhalb von Povocao gelegen. Sehr nette Gastgeber und leckeres Frühstück.

Realmente, las fotos de las habitaciones no hacen justicia a la realidad. Cuando llegamos al alojamiento, no nos podíamos creer que la casa fuera tan y tan bonita. Además, María nos acogió muy bien, haciéndonos sentir como en casa, explicándonos un montón de cosas sobre la isla y recomendándonos genial. La verdad, es que fue una experiencia muy buena, lástima que solo estuviéramos una noche, porque después de alojarnos allí nos quedamos con ganas de quedarnos más días. Si volvemos a Sao Miguel, seguro que repetimos en la casa de María!

Nous n'avons passé qu'une seule nuit sur place mais Maria est accueillante et aux petits soins. Nous recommandons le petit déjeuner maison!! Le lieu est paisible avec un magnifique jardin...

The communication was great and easy, fluent English. The owner was not in but made sure his brother in law was available and picked us up. There was a problem with a handle that got locked at night and they came immediately to take care of it and the next day changed the handle. Always smiling and ready to help but not intrusive. Over all very good!

This is a very large newly restored two bedroom house with fantastic views, an incredible garden, and excellent personal attention to guests' needs. We were thrilled. Nelson even met us downtown when we got lost and led us to the location. We would be happy to come back anytime.

Kevin and Nelson are truly amazing hosts, and Povoacao is an excellent location to base your stay in Sao Miguel. The house is comfortable, spacious and well equipped (we enjoyed cooking there, particularly with the eggs that Nelson gave us from his chickens!). While it was just 2 of us staying, it would make an excellent home for a family as well. The location is really ideal, particularly as it is so close to Furnas and the wonderful hot springs there, and is an easy drive to both Ponta Delgada and Vila Franca do Campo, and the north side of the island. We did a lot of hiking, and the house is close to some of the best trails on the island (two of our favorites were Faial da Terra - Salto do Prego and Fenais da Ajuda -- Lomba de Sao Pedro) The best part of our stay at the house had to be Kevin and Nelson -- they were incredibly kind and helpful. Thanks to you both, and we can't wait to come back!

very good experience!

Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Einrichtung war etwas spärlich, aber zweckgebunden. Soweit wir Kontakt hatten, waren die Nachbarn in Ordnung. Von der Quinta der Eigentümer haben wir Bananen und Eier geschenkt bekommen. Es war sehr familär.

Le logement est agréable, propre et bien équipé. C'est un bon point de départ pour visiter la côte Est de l'île. Nelson a été d'une grande gentillesse et très attentionné avec nous. Gâteau, bonbons et bouteilles d'alcool local nous attendaient à notre arrivée.Nous avons eu même droit à des œufs bio de son poulailler. Il a su être de bons conseils également. C'est une bonne adresse que je recommande!

very friendly, easy to talk to and open host who gave us a warm welcome. the house is spacious and clean. the pictures are accurate. lovely region. we loved it.

Povoacao is a nice city and a good situation for discover the east cost The house is very big, clean and quiet. You need a car. Nelson and his brother are very Nice, disponible. A lot of information is in the house. Let's go!

Je recommande pour le service, l'accueil, l'authenticité. La vue est (URL HIDDEN) le village paisible et accueillant

Albano was a very amiable host. He greeted us in the town of Provacao and showed us the way up to the house. Surrounding countryside is very beautiful, lush with green vegetation even in the height of Summer (August). The house was perfectly located up a hill within walking distance of the town (very quaint with a zoo, food shops and cafes/restaurants) and shingle beach. The house was full of character and well equipped. There was lots of internal space to relax in. We especially loved the large balcony with sea and mountain views. It was nice to eat alfresco there and we enjoyed relaxing on the hammock! Further eating area in an adjacent patio and a small but perfectly formed garden!

nid d'Azor était belle, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur. Chez la plupart de nos repas sur le pont où nous avons apprécié une vue sur l'océan et sur les collines. Certains soirs, nous nous sommes assis dans la pelouse privée, sur un banc, en sirotant du vin et profiter du jardin et vue. Nous avons fait une randonnée tous les jours dans toute l'île, mais nous sommes si heureux que nous sommes arrivés à cette fin de l'île, loin des grandes villes. La ville avait tout ce que nous avions besoin, et le voyage était parfait!

Muito se a estadia, e a casa foi adorável com vistas fabulosas. Albano foi muito acolhedor e atenciosa e tudo correu muito bem ..

Accueil chaleureux et adorable d'Albano à l'aéroport (qui a accepté de prendre une partie de nos valises et de véhiculer certains d'entre nous car le loueur de voiture n'avait pas la voiture que nous avions réservée...). La maison, restaurée avec goût, bénéficie d'une vue prodigieuse et est très facile et agréable à vivre. Le jardin est fantastique avec ses différents niveaux et terrasses. Povoaçao a conservé un charme authentique. On y trouve tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin pour les courses courantes et même un mini zoo qui a bien plu aux enfants. Bref, un excellent séjour de deux semaines à Sao Miguel, dans la maison d'Albano.

A great stay in Ninho do Açor. Beautiful view from the outside terrace and enough space - we we're with 5 people. The area around the house is also really nice. Albano picked is up from the airport to show us the house. Although it was late, he still took the time to show the house and garden in detail. Our neighbors were also very nice and helpful. I can't recommend enough to rent a car in this area! That is - if you want to be able to explore the island. If you're thinking about renting this place - I did it and would do it again!

Ninho de Azor em Povoação é uma casa de família com vistas deslumbrantes. É numa zona calma da ilha e oferece muito espaço e atmosfera. Durante a estadia o clima nos Açores alguma volatilidade, mas a casa tem muito espaço e oportunidades que há muito para desfrutar de uns aos outros e você ainda não ficar no caminho. O terraço na frente da casa vistas panorâmicas sobre o Oceano Atlântico, o que em si é uma experiência. É uma casa mobiliada e a localização, as noites também muito tranquila. Uma curta caminhada downhill leva você a uma pequena praia com próximo porto de Povoação cidade onde você pode fazer suas compras necessárias no supermercado local.

This house has a great view of the ocean and hills. The kitchen has everything you could need including a coffee maker, espresso machine, washer and dryer. It was really nice having two bathrooms. The town has a nice grocery store and access to the ocean. Furnas is close by and there is a lot to do there. To get to the house you must walk up a very steep driveway. You will need to park your car on the street because there is someone who parks in the driveway in the attached house next door. The mattresses were extremely firm. There was moisture in the house which made it a bit musty. It has great gardens and the porch off of the family room is a great place to enjoy your breakfast. Albano was very helpful and met us at the grocery store so we could follow him to the house. The amazing view of the ocean and nice gardens are what we liked most about this home!

A place like this is exactly the reason why Airbnb is such a great idea and so much better then traditional travel. We got to meet Albano, who met us at the airport despite a really early arrival. The house is a little over an hour from the airport. With amazing views, very spacious rooms and a huge kitchen and garden, with traditional Azorean accents, the house is beautiful and we had a great stay. Albano also provided a baby cot for our 2 year old and generally was happy to help us with advice. Even the neighbors were very nice!! Overall, highly recommended if you are staying onto this stunning corner of the island.

Adorámos o espaço e a enorme simpatia e hospitalidade da Fátima e da Luísa.

Stayed 3 nights by Carla. A fantastic expierience! She has a ne ultramodern house with everything you can even imagine. Carla is very friendly to her guests, she awaits them with a piece of self-made cake and a cup of tea or coffee. The breakfast is great. But the best thing - the views. You cannot describe them, you have to see them. Fantastic view over Povoacao and the sea + a view on the mountins. A place like in a fairytale. We highly recommend this place - would definetly go to this place again. Carla also suggested us places to go on sightseeing and some restaurants. She has also two beautiful cats and a friendly dog. Thank you Carla! See you next time :)

We stayed three days at Carla's and it's a beautiful place as you can imagine regarding the pictures. All the rooms are spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Carla and João welcomed us with some tee and cake and they served an extensive breakfast each day. We most enjoyed the pancakes! Every morning they asked us about our plans for the day and they gave us some really helpful additional advices and recommendations and even booked our lunch at a restaurant in Furnas one day. We are grateful for their hospitality, thank you Carla and João!

I think it's safe to say it was THE best Airbnb experience I had so far. On one side it was personal and authentic thanks to lovely, local hosts, on the other the standard of accommodation was superb quality. Carla and Joao recommended me awesome places you wouldn't find on TripAdvisor, fixed me a great car rental deal and prepared lovely breakfasts. I loved Azores and I'm sure I'll get back there soon. I have no doubt that's largely their work.

I stayed for a whole month at Carla's and found a calm and beautiful holiday retreat in her house. The pictures don't lie, but in fact everything is even more beautiful in reality. Set in the highlands of the island, the modern architecture of the spacious house embraces the nature surrounding it, so that every view out of a window resembles a perfect picture postcard: green hills, cows, the ozean... I felt comfortable around Carla, she was always helpful and I had the feeling that she enjoys hosting. The ocassional pancakes and barbeque on top of the huge breakfast were really a surprise. The rooms were very clean and I didn't miss anything in my room. My stay at Carla's payed a major role in a wonderful vacation in the Azores. Five stars are not enough, I'd add two more!

A thousand times better than any hotel - beautiful and modern house with all amenities and excellent breakfast in the morning. Carla is always nice and very friendly hostess. For me, the best thing about staying at Carla is that whenever you need an advice, she give you good tips for a wonderful trip, place or restaurant on the island. Thank you. Although the house is in a quieter part of the island, it is still very easily accessible to the most beautiful places on the island.

We stayed at Carlas place for a week. The house is very impressive and we enjoyed sitting in the spaceous livingroom watching the sunset and the ocean. It was a perfect base to explore this part of the island. We had all we needed and used the big kitchen almost every night. Carla and her friend are lovely people and always helpful. Thank you!

Carla was a really great host. We enjoyed the stay in her wonderful house from the first moment. She supported us with great tips for hiking-tours, beaches and restaurants. We loved to sit on her terrace with the beautiful view on the bay of Povoacao. We can recommend anyone to spend some days with Carla!

This is a wonderful place to stay for so many reasons. Carla and João were both very welcoming - with lots of helpful advice on exploring the area. The breakfast was a perfect start the day alongside the ever-changing - dramatic views from the house.

El anfitrion es muy agradable, estubo explicandonos lugares donde ir, nos acompaó con el coche, restaurantes. Muy amable.

Quiet, peaceful location in an authentic Portuguese home with some modern touches such as satellite TV and wifi. House was beautiful and everything was great. A short drive to Furnas and the Nordeste areas.

Andre was a really good host The communication between us before check in was very helpful and prompt. He gave us some tips about things to do and see. The house is an old big house in the countryside but with modern amenities in the inside, a great combination to experience Sao Miguel's authentic country life. He was also very flexible on the check in check out times, a fact we really appreciated. The beds were really comfortable and warm. The highlight of our stay was the gardener we would see everyday and who actually dedicated sometime to take us around the amazing garden and give us some more local tips about places to visit (in Portugese). Overall, an amazing experiace in this gem of Povoacao.

Andre met us two days before to hand us the keys. Good communication! The house is up quite a steep hill from the town of Povoacao, beautifully situated, with a spectacular view. Basics, such as oil and spices were in the fridge to cook with. The mint in the garden made for great tea. Also the oranges were good for eating. Thanks for having us!

El apartamento es bonito, limpio y tiene todo lo imprescindible para vivir allí unos días. Fue muy agradable llegar y que en la mesa hubiera todo para el desayuno, incluido un dulce típico de Povoação! :) Lina fue muy atenta y nos ayudó en todo momento, dándonos consejos sobre dónde comer y qué ver. Povoação es un pueblo pequeño y tranquilo, y para nosotras fue el punto perfecto para movernos por la isla. Hemos estado muy a gusto en el apartamento! :)

Lina es una gran anfitriona, atenta y cuidadosa que de que nos sintiéramos bien y cómodos. Respondió rápidamente a nuestras necesidades. Nos dejó un desayuno riquísimo de bienvenida. El piso es nuevo, limpio y acogedor. La zona tranquila, familiar y respetuosa, le gente del lugar está dispuesta a ayudarte también. Estamos muy contentos con nuestra estancia en Povoçao y lo recomendamos

Povoacao my love! We had just a wonderful time here in Povoacao and this flat ist perfectly situated. Lina provided us with very useful tipps and was always available when we had a question. Absolut TOP!

In august we stayed at Linas apartment with 3 people. It wasn't clear how to get the key. We made an apointment with Lina, but she wasn't there. Finally we called her and within 15 minutes she arrived. The apartment didn't look brand new to us. It was renewed. It was clean and especially the couch/twinbed was very comfortable. The basics were not in order to our opinion. There was just half a roll of toiletpaper, no coffeemachine, no towels in the kitchen. And then there was a crappy toiletseat, several broken lamps, the curtains didn't really work and finally there was a continously barking dog at night. Lina promised to send us some interesting adresses, but we got them at the end of our stay. Overall, we cannot understand why Lina is a so called super host. For the price we payed, we cannot recommend the apartment.

El apatamento está muy bien, completo, luminoso y amplio. Tenía todo lo que necesitabamos. Aunque está en una zona centrica del pueblo, es muy tranquilo y se aparca sin dificultad en la misma calle. Además, tiene varios supermercados cerca. Cuando llegamos Lina nos había dejado en el apartamento un amplio surtido de productos típicos de la zona, que le agradecimos ampliamente porque nuestro avión había llegado con retraso y no pudimos comprar nada para la cena porque las tiendas habían cerrado. Lina ha sido un estupenda anfitriona. En varias ocasiones necesitamos su ayuda y no la prestó rápidamente.

Cleanliness and location are superb!!!! Although I read other guests were annoyed by the Church bells, we enjoyed them, we were prepared for them, and they did not bother us in the least! It was a pleasure watching people come and go to the Church and little "grotto" from our balcony! A perfect location to walk about the town, and take off for daily road trips to see the sites!

We really enjoyed our stay in Linas Apartment. Lina gave us a very warm welcome and recommended us some attractions as well as good restaurants. The apartment is very well maintained, smelled very pleasant :-) and is equipped with all necessary items . From our home we could easily visit the whole island by car. We absolutely recommend Lina and her apartment. Thank you Lina!

Casa situada numa zona agradável e tranquila, perto de zonas de interesse, como por exemplo as furnas. Pequeno-almoço tradicional, limpeza 5 estrelas, apartamento muito cuidado e espaçoso. Recomendamos e sem dúvida um local a voltar.

首先感谢卡拉和约翰给我的这次旅行那么美好的回忆!我很荣幸能够成为到她们家居住的第一位中国客人。这是目前为止我住过的最温馨、舒适家庭旅馆。一栋大别墅哦。无敌的海景和山景同在,这在入住前是难以想象的。为了使我旅行更加方便,很早就帮我预订好了方便提取和归还的车辆,性价比在全岛最高的。主人对你热情有佳,除了入住前顺畅的沟通,入住后根据我的时间和计划给我精心设计每天的安排,甚至包括推荐每天不同的当地美食。到她们家入住是最佳的选择,让我这次旅行的体验更加丰富多彩,再次真诚地感谢卡拉和约翰。

Carla was an amazing host! Very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed chatting with her in the mornings and evenings, as well as with her other friendly guests. Every day she provided a great breakfast and helpful tips about local activities and restaurants. The home itself is fantastic... easy to access by car, near many beautiful spots, very clean and quiet, and breathtaking views. We couldn't take enough pictures from her balcony. Sao Miguel was a beautiful island, and we'd definitely hope to stay here again if we go back.

This was my favorite place in our 4 city European vacation. Carla is an awesome host and provides fresh delicious breakfasts! The view from her living room is breathtaking and our room was very spacious and clean. I loved the rain shower too. My husband and I love to hike and Carla gave us advice on some excellent hiking trails. Sao Miguel is such a beautiful island! When we return someday I would definitely stay at Carla's!

Ich habe vier Nächte bei Carla und ihrem Mann João verbracht. Das große und sehr moderne Haus liegt hinter hohen Mauern auf einer Anhöhe mit Blick auf Povoação. Im Außenbereich gibt es zwei angekettete Deutsche Schäferhunde, durch's Haus streifen eine oder zwei Katzen. Das Zimmer war sehr schön hergerichtet, der Blick ins Grüne toll. Auch das Bad, das mit den anderen Gästen geteilt wird, war sauber, groß und modern. Der Blick von der Terrasse auf Meer und Dorf ist toll! Die Küche darf mitbenutzt werden. Carla und João habe ich jeden Tag gesehen. Sie waren freundlich und gaben gute Tipps für Ausflüge. Das Frühstückt war sehr gut - vor allem die Pfannkuchen am Sonntag... Die Lage ist gut, um den Osten der Insel zu erkunden. Nach Furnas, von wo aus man auf die Autobahn in Richtung Westen kommt, sind es etwa 15 bis 20 Minuten. Nach Sete Citades etwa 1,5 Stunden. Ich musste mitten in der Nacht zum Flughafen aufbrechen und habe mich über die Frühstückstüte, die an der Haustüre hing, besonders gefreut! Empfehlenswert, super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis!

Carla was a great host and her house is a wonderful place to stay. The bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom are modern and tasteful, and all have lovely pastoral views. The living room has an amazing view looking out on the ocean. The house was immaculate and a very comfortable place to stay. We were welcomed with local pastries and tea, and found a bag of local snacking food on our bed. There were plenty of maps and tourist brochures in the room, and we received good advice from our hosts. Breakfasts were more than adequate: Carla is a good baker on top of everything else. It could not have been better.

We stayed couple days in Povoacao. The house is lovely, even more beautiful than in the pictures. The owners are very nice and try their best to make you feel welcome. There are nice restaurants not too far and beautiful locations to visit. In Azores tough you must rent a car. However, travelling with a baby I was a bit uncomfortable. The house is too nice, you have to take extra care, especially with a baby running and touching everywhere.

The house is modern, clean, and has beautiful views over Povoação and the south coast of the island. Carla and João are very kind and do a great job of making you feel welcome. During my stay João would help me make an itinerary for each day based on the weather and which parts of the island I wanted to see.

Carla is the best airbnb host I've ever met :-) Their home is clean& tidy and she is a quite welcoming host. The breakfast was amazing every time, and the view from the balcony is one of the best things ever.
