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.

Each room offers views for the surrounding landscape and mountains, a cable TV, a telephone and access to shared bathroom facilities.

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.

    A beautiful property situated in a rural area. Crispim was a great host welcoming us;he provided strawberries picked from the vegetable plot which were great. The fridge had a few essentials when we arrived together with a bottle of wine which were appreciated. The apartment was situated in large grounds with a wonderful patio area overlooking the infinity pool. Once we figured how to get to main road from property it was excellent for access the whole of the island. It was ideal for our last 5 nights on the Azores with time to just chill out

    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.)

    What a gem! We really enjoyed our stay in Quinta das Rosas. The location is perfect, the apartment has everything you need and Eduardo is a great host who gave us a lot of helpful tips and restaurant recommendations. Baby bed and high chair was provided and much appreciated. We really liked having a cup of coffee on roof top terrace in the morning. I would consider coming back and renting all three villas for the extended family.

    Wonderful breakfast and access to a full kitchen if we needed it. The room was big with lots of additional amenities like a heater to keep us warm when we got cold. There were also blackout shades on the windows, which made it easy to sleep. There was a bathtub and a shower with lots of hot water! Quiet street with tons of parking, really close to food options (which were all frequented by the locals so you know it's the real deal). Would have gladly stayed longer if we had the opportunity - Highly recommend!

    I loved pretty much everything about my stay here. First of all Orlando is such a great host, he really wants you to enjoy your time in his home island, he shared a lot of great tips and recommendations and I learned a lot from him about the culture and history of Acores islands and Portugal. Second, the room and the house are really nice - the room is spacious, spotless and well situated, you have groceries nearby, beach and it’s a convenient location to drive around and discover the island.
