The place was so beautiful. Eduarda and Maria were so welcoming and kind. The breakfast was excellent and our room was so comfortable and clean. We couldn’t have picked a better place to start our vacation in the Azores.

Great place to stay in the center of Ponta Delgada! Daniel is a great host!

Zachary Kanada

Emanuel is the greatest host. He puts so much thought and detail into everything and ensures you make the most of your time in the Azores. You can’t ask for a better place to stay than right here!

Leo Bandaríkin

Beautiful property, well stocked and comfortable as well. Host was very attentive. Would definitely stay here again if we came back! (it was fantastic to have nearby parking that was free, and Ponta Delgada was only a few minutes away. Very easy!)

I loved everything about the breakfast. Pastries were fresh and I am unable to say where I have had better eggs and bacon... You can eat while enjoying panoramic view of the sea and landscape, but are smartly sheltered from wind and rain. Best of all Miguel very personally yet not intrusively goes from table to table with maps and advises about where and what you might look at. The guidance was flawless

This guest house is truly a gem. I could not imagine being in a more comfortable and charming guest home than Ao Mercado. It had every comfort and convenience imaginable and it is in such an excellent location. Maria , the owner, is very attentive to every need and has thoroughly planned her guest home to be not only well organized and clean as well as comfortable with a blend of old world charm and modern facilities. The size of the home allows for intimacy while at the same time offers an opportunity to casually interact with other guests in the common areas. I felt very at home here within a day! Thank you Maria for everything. I look forward already to a return stay. Anne from Quebec Canada

Pedro and Maria were fantastic hosts making you feel at home. They were happy to provide detailed information about the whole island, carefully recommending sites, routes, hiking and restaurants. Adelicious beakfast was set up beautifully with all local foods and enjoyed outside in the garden if the weather permitted. This also gave us the opportunity to meet some wonderful travelers. Our room was very comfortable for 2, spotlessly clean, beautiful traditional furniture, extremely comfortable bed, good wifi, contemporary bathroom with good shower, and the room overlooked the garden. Pedro's professional photographs of the Azorean landscapes adorn the walls giving the house a gallery feel. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. It's very easy to get in and out of town with a car as parking was nearby. The town was easily walkable from Casadacidade. If you want the experience of living in a beautiful Azorean home with great hospitality, this is a wonderful opportunity.

Breakfast was definitely better than most hotels! Lido & Antonio were extremely helpful in all matters related to our holiday or activities in Azores. The location was downtown on a corner of walking street with many restaurants close by. City center is accessible by foot. (For other locations in Sao Miguel a rental car is best option.) Our teens enjoyed playing with the house pets. ;D
