Lovely place, very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, big terrace with comfy chairs and beautiful view, garden is very nice, too. Owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. We appreciated the food and drinks left for us when we arrived late. If you are offered a ride with Sergio in his super car, don’t miss this chance, it was one of the highlights of our stay.The location is a bit away from everything, which means you need a car to stay there.

Very clean house in Candelaria neighborhood. The host checks you in personally and stocks the kitchen with basic groceries and fresh bread! He offered to deliver fresh bread to us daily if we wanted. The place was clean and so peaceful. It is nicer than the photos make it out to be. The garden is beautiful and the house is clean and very well stocked with everything you need. The host also offered a free tour in his buggy! Definitely take him up on this, it was great!

Wow! Uau!

Sergio and Maria are wonderful hosts and the property is essentially a hillside estate. The amenities are all fantastic. Sergio and Maria went the extra mile to give us insights on activities around the island. If you're making a trip to the Azores, this property should be high on your list.

Home away from home

We had a really amazing stay at Villa Maria. Sergio and Maria went above and beyond to provide a very inviting, super clean, and tranquil atmosphere. All of the welcome treats were most appreciated, as was Sergio's kindness and expertise in explaining the area to us. The tide chart was a great help when planning on swimming at Ferraria. The neighborhood was picturesque. I enjoyed having an audience of cows while in the pool and having breakfast on the patio listening to birds and looking out at the ocean. It was perfection! we are already planning our return trip.

Amazing vacation! The island is gorgeous and full of surprises. The villa was perfect for us. Having coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings on the porch or in the garden enjoying the view was my favorite. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had everything necessary for a perfect stay. Hope to be back one day!!

We couldn't fault this property at all, the hosts spoke very good English which was a bonus to us. Sergio gave us a map and highlighted all the good places to go, also we went out in his buggy to places we would not of been able to get to. Will never forget the bread delivery hung on the gate every morning. Would highly recommend.

The owner was amazing. The place was clean, fresh and new. The backyard was huge, we where not here long enough to enjoy and we were busy seeing all sights. The house came with all u needed for a weeks stay. Beautiful view and quiet neighbourhood which was great after a full day of hiking. Alittle far from town but worth the peace and quiet.

Form the beginning to the end of our stay was PERFECT!!! Sergio and Maria are exceptional hosts. Our accommodation was very clean and attention to detail goes above and beyond. Fresh bread everyday if you choose and a lovely welcome basket. The view of the ocean from everywhere on the property is AMAZING!!!! Sitting on the hill and enjoying the privacy of the space and the vista was a highlight of our stay. The location of Villa Maria made it easy to visit many of the Island's attractions. My wish would be for more SUNSHINE to enjoy this wonderful Island. Next time, I am sure.

Warmly welcomed in a clean home!

We looked at many hotels and VRBO (and their competitor) listings and happily booked this apartment. We were warmly welcomed with fresh fruits and basic food stuffs to ensure an easy transition. The hosts went out of their way to ensure we felt comfortable, sitting us down with a map of the island and provided us some recommendations after inquiring about our interests. If you are planing on hikes, be sure to check out the guest book where other visitors highlighted their favorites, including duration and difficulty. The apartment is INCREDIBLY clean and has warm touches with fresh flowers and everything you may need (including shampoo, body wash, and laundry detergent). There is a terrace that you can enjoy your meals on with an ocean view. We took advantage of the barbecue on the property as well. The hosts are incredibly helpful and offer ancillary services to ensure you make the most of your vacation. We hope to see you again!!

Excellent Home - Recommend for island of Sao Miguel, Azores!!

Maria and Sergio were amazing hosts - warm welcome when we arrived, Sergio gave us lots of tips and advice of how to explore the island and without his help, we wouldn’t of had half the experience we did - so thank you very much! The house was lovely, very tidy, looked after too with all you need including hairdryer and both swimming towels and shower towels. Great location, not too far from city of Ponta Delgada. Incredible sea view from the house. We had breakfast outside every morning and we were amazed by the view everyday. If we return to this island, we will 100% return back to this property. Great value for money for its features, location and sea view. If you are looking for a place to stay whilst staying on this island, please do stay here!

This is an EXCELLENT property to rent!

We stayed at Sergio and Maria's "Villa Maria 2" from June 23 to June 30, 2018. We have to say that their villa is by far THE CLEANEST, BEST EQUIPPED, rental that we have had in our renting experiences. The view in the morning and evening from the deck is terrific. Atlantic ocean. Great. But, better than the accommodations and views, is the warm welcoming and personal attention of Sergio and Maria. They are REAL people and they are extremely proud of their accomplishments and their island. They made us feel like a member of the community. The island is fantastic! It is a cross between Iceland and St John, USVI. We hope to return and rent from Sergio and Maria. In the mean time, we have terrific photos and warm memories. George & Carol

Good clean newer spot.

We enjoyed our stay. Sergio gave us lots of suggestions of where to visit. We had a hard time finding a good restaurant so ate a lot of our meals in the condo. The last day we took out a good pizza from o so la meo in ginete. Also ate at association de agriculture. It was pretty good. It was on the other side of the island. We had a hard time finding anything else. The condo was clean and in good shape. You should bring any shampoo and body wash as there was none there. The roads are narrow and windy so we drove slowly at first but by the end of the trip we were driving almost like the locals. There were lots of great hikes on the island. Lots of great view pints as well.
