São Miguel island vacation house 'Vivenda (A) 0423

We had a great stay and the owner Mr Amando and his son-in-law Bruno were quiet accommodating. Loved the villa location was convenient and we talked about returning soon. Thank you Armando and BrunoRobert,Maria,Alan and Joy

The house was very clean and comfortable. We ate breakfast on the front covered porch every day of our 7-day stay. For several nights, we built a fire in the outdoor brick BBQ and enjoyed salmon, steak, and tuna we purchased from the nearby grocery store. The grounds of the property are spacious, and we felt as if we were living in a park. The location was central to everything we wanted to do on the island. Quite a memorable vacation!

The house and gardens were so beautiful The view is spectacular especially from the upper balcony It is very central do easily got to places we wanted to go The host was so hfelpful and andwered all our questionsI would go back in a minute Loved it

We enjoyed our stay, however our realistic feedback: great quiet peaceful location, pretty views, good highway access, 5 min to grocery, property mgr was quick to help with issues (power outage, entrance gate stuck). Inside needs improvements: kitchen needs a thorough cleaning, very poor lighting in all rooms and furniture is dark so inside house is quite gloomy, beds are ok but pillows rock hard, smells musty, bedrooms could use ceiling fans, had a few large roaches inside when we arrived but that's common in this climate. There are cows, roosters and dogs in the area (not on the property) so you will occasionally hear them in the distance (and maybe smell manure), it didn't bother us because we like the country, but it could bother others.
