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.

    Great base from which to explore Sao Miguel with a car (others also seemed to manage well with public transport; Beautiful traditional family home, made exceptionally welcome by Emmanuel, our host. Breakfast buffet was typical Portuguese/European with fresh rolls, bread, cheese & ham, jams; fresh fruit and yoghurt; coffee and range of teas. Host catered well for one lactose intolerant guest. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

    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.
