Located in the São Miguel Island of the Azores archipelago, Casa da Flor offers accommodation in double rooms and free WiFi. This unit is situated in Ribeira Grande, 9 km from the Fire Lagoon.

The guest house is 600 metres from Nossa Senhora das Estrelas Church and the Oito Arcos Bridge. The famous Sete Cidades Lagoon is 30 km away and the Ponta Delgada International Airport is 20 km away.

The room was spacious, the breakfast provided every morning was delicious, the hosts were very friendly and gave lots of great recommendations, and the hosts even did our laundry and cleaned the room halfway through the stay since we were staying for 10 days. The location was great since it was in the middle of the island so it was no more than 40 minutes to get to any part of it. Ribeira Grande also had great hot springs that were 15 min away and they were our favorite!

Beautiful home! Very well appointed and had everything we needed. The outdoor space was especially nice, but since the weather was a bit cooler we didn’t use it too much. Parking was easy and we had a big van. Good space for lots of people. Quiet little town but easy to drive to all the sites in São Miguel.

The spacious guest house comes with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a balcony with sea views. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and chocolates or cookies. The property has an outdoor dining area.

Very spacious and comfortable apartment for the whole family or larger group. Having a rental car the location was excellent to reach any place of interest on the island. There is also a bus stop across the main road but we have never used it. Great communication with the owner through the Whatsup. Overall we had a very nice stay.

All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a dishwasher, a kettle, a shower, a hairdryer and a desk. The guest house features some units that have a balcony and garden view, and the rooms have a private bathroom and a wardrobe. At Cabo da Vila Guesthouse all rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

I really enjoyed my stay! The host was incredibly helpful, polite and professional, I've also enjoyed the interesting conversations with him! The room was spotlessly clean and had a large private bathroom with a big bathtub. The location is great, since it's centrally located and quickly allowed me to reach any part of the island in the rented car (there's also plenty of parking around the house). The kitchen was available and fully equipped, but I haven't really used it as I ate out everyday. I did enjoy being able to do the laundry as I travelled with small luggage.

    Orlando is a great host, with a really nice guest house in a perfect location to visit the island. The room was spacious for two people, with a spacious private bathroom. The shared kitchen is well equipped for anything you would need over the vacation. (We stayed at a private room. There is also a separate apartment in the house, with a private kitchen I believe.)
