This was one of the best homes we have stayed in. It lived up to every expectation. Very well provisionedâŠ. down to coffee and espresso ready to enjoy. All the manuals for the appliances, and great suggestions for nearby restaurants and grocery shopping. Loved our morning views as we enjoyed brunch on the patioâŠ.. beds were comfy and two showers were a plus in getting ready for our family event.
We had the most amazing vacation in Sao Miguel. The hydrangeas were in full bloom during our stay and were absolutely stunning throughout the entire island. The house was so welcoming, comfortable and clean. Jose was very responsive to our requests and questions. The house had the most stunning views of the ocean, fully equipped with everything you will need, and is located within walking distance to the beach. Itâs centrally located to visit every aspect of the island. We definitely recommend staying here!
We had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect for going on excursions and if you prefer not to be out and about, the great beach is only a few minutes' walk away. We would love to come back.
This property was everything as described in the VRBO ad and more. Location was quiet yet close to everything we needed and everything we wanted to see. The beach was spectacular, warm water and lots of space to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Would definitely recommend this location and would stay here on our next trip to the Azores.
Very clean, full kitchen, deck with amazing view of ocean and waterfall. Walking distance to restaurant and beach. Location made it easy for us to explore the entire island! Host very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!
Casa das Hortensias is a wonderful and comfortable house located in a charming town, surrounded by beautiful Azores countryside. The two outside decks overlook a beautiful vista and black sand beach which is a 5 minute walk from the house. Hiking trails complete with waterfall is very close and accessible.
Lage der Unterkunft in Porto Formosa mit tollem Ausblick auf's Meer. Wir konnten zwar die tolle groĂe Terrasse kaum nutzen, haben uns deshalb fĂŒr den behaglichen Wohnraum gefreut. NĂŒtzlich war besonders der Kaminofen mit entsprechendem Holzvorrat.
We had a great stay at JosĂš place. The views are amazing from the balcony and there are some beautiful hiking trails right outside the door. Thanks JosĂš.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa das Hortencias! Although our time there was wet and windy, we found lots to do. From hiking to shopping, to exploring or spending quiet time indoors, we all found entertainment. The house was well supplied with kitchen equipment and we made good use of it all. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms worked as they should. In total, a very good experience.
Our group of 5 adults had a wonderful week at House of Hydrangeas, a very comfortable home with a beautiful view of the ocean. It was so relaxing hearing the surf and the waterfall. The house was in the perfect central location for day trips to explore all parts of the island. Parking spaces were available right in front of the house.The house had everything you needed to cook meals and was also very near to excellent restaurants. Self check in/check out was very convenient and Jose was easy to reach. It was exciting to see the hydrangeas at the house in full bloom in late September!
The views from this property are stunning and the little beach at the bottom of the hill is perfect for a quick dip. Excellent location and very quiet. Parking in front of the door. Comfortable, spacious house with all amenities. Highly recommended.
This lovely home is centrally located for exploring the island. The host communicated well. The house had every single thing we needed to stay comfortably. The view from two terraces was spectacular. We highly recommend this property.
Such and amazing home and the location and views were better than we could have imagined. The hosts provided everything we could have needed and the tea and treats they left for us upon arrival were a lovely surprise. Perfect location to easily get to Furnas and Ribeira Grande. Beach cafe and restaurant within walking distance served delicious food. If we ever return we would stay here again!
Jose was a wonderful host who was very responsive and helpful when we had a small crisis (not with the property). The location was perfect for us -- centrally located on the island, allowing for easy day trips in any direction. Both restaurants within walking distance were very good, and the village of Moinhos itself was picturesque, and one of our favorite places of the entire trip. The property was great, having everything we needed. We would not hesitate to book here again -- one of our very best VRBO experiences.
The property was very clean, cozy and exactly as advertised. Jose was very responsive to all emails and flexible with our checkin/checkout times.
The house is walking distance to 3 restaurants. We enjoyed two meals at Joseph's beach bar/restaurant Praia Moinhos. It is literally steps from the house and located on the beach.
Our weather was rough but, Jose has a fireplace and everything we needed to build a cozy fire and play cards with our grandsons.
I would love to stay here again during the Summer months and enjoy all of the decks of the house and more time of the beautiful beach.
Though we would not go in March again because of the rainy/cloudy weather, we would give this place a big thumbs up for location, quietness, and view. Fairly priced, and central to several island highlights, we had a very comfortable stay.
We picked this rental from the pictures of its locale, the pictures and description of the rental itself and the previous renter reviews. We were not disappointed. The home was very clean, comfortably furnished, completely equipped and ideally located. The ocean view from the first floor and second floor terraces was breathtaking. We were about five minutes walk from a large sandy beach with terrific wave and surf activity. The soothing sound of the surf was audible all day and night. Hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulty were walking distance away and provided spectacular hillside and ocean views. Our host was most hospitable. This was our first overseas rental and our host's warm and pleasant manner, his attention to our needs and the ease of contact with him added to a wonderful vacation experience.
