The house was spacious, perfect for the three of us, though up to 6 people could be comfortably accommodated. We did not use the kitchen to cook, but it was well-appointed with an assortment of dishes, pots and pans, and small appliances that would be great for an extended stay, and there are a couple of grocery stores in town. The wifi worked well. Laundry facilities were great and there was detergent available. The location is very quiet. Bathrooms had lots of extra towels. The dehumidifier was helpful when it was rainy. The backyard patio area was excellent, though we did not spend much time out there. The view is so peaceful, you can see the ocean, a small valley, and the mountains all from the backyard. There is a cow next door and he is very cute. He moos and wags his tail (!) when you get home. The price is a good value for an entire house and would be great for families or remote work. The town square in Povoação is very cute with dining options and markets. The welcome snacks were a nice touch. Belinda was available to answer questions and had good communication. We had a very late arrival, but were able to check ourselves in with a lockbox, and to update Belinda via WhatsApp. Check-in and check-out went smoothly. I slept well on the beds, which is a small miracle since I have insomnia.

Apartment is spacious, clean and very well equipped. The location, near to the Parque Terra Nostra and various restaurants is extremely convenient.

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. 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...
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.
The house is very beautiful and cosy and the location if absolutely amazing, offering incredible views of Povoacao region.
The owner is wonderful and she offered us local products, such as tea, biscuits, pastries, juices, making our experience a unique one. She also offered us goodbye gifts she made herself, so this is absolutely an unforgettable place and I highly recommend it.
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.
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 staff - day and night, front desk and kitchen, maintenance and housekeeping - were all exceptional people. What a great team! The hotel is wonderful - great location on the waterfront in the small uncrowded village of Povoacao, easily walkable with restaurants and stores close by.
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.
Rodrigo runs his Casa with heart: you feel like home, he has many good advices if you want them, eating breakfast with magnificent view of the sea with great music in the background… what is not to like! Povoaçao area is very interesting area to discover!
Rodrigo is a very kind person. He gives you a lot of good advises what to do around Furnas and Povoacao. It is a very friendly environment.
The breakfast was excellent with regional jam and fruits.
The hotel location was wonderful! We had a water front view over the small port with a long view of the water in both directions. The breakfast was nice with lots of choices. Great place to stay.
The hotel located right on the ocean side with sea view.
The rooms have good size, bed is very comfortable. The furniture is not new, but everything is in good condition.
Also I like jacuzzi.
Good location of the hotel. The room was clean. We had a nice view to the small port of Provacao. The breakfast was good, but the same each day and coffee was not so great.
