Great hotel! Staff was very friendly & the buffet breakfast each morning was excellent with many choices. Having designated, private parking for the guests was a very nice benefit. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

The property is lovely with equally lovely staff. Breakfast buffet was filling and great for starting the day. We loved that it was less busy than Ponta Delgado. Will stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

The house was amazing! We had a week here and everything was great, we travelled without a car and the reception staff were very helpful in suggesting a reliable taxi and tips for where to go. We really enjoyed the heated pool after walking the trails! And breakfast was delicious. Everything at Volcanic Charming House was perfect

A truly “charming” stay. Lovely staff, delicious breakfast, beautiful grounds, and access to a full kitchen.
Anne Patricia, 6-night trip

My husband and I love how quiet the hotel was You will think that being so close to the street it would be noisy. The breakfast was delicious every day. The staff was very friendly

Amazing stay. Good location. Great pool. Breakfast was good. Very charming place.
Cindy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a great stay and beautiful property. It is walkable to the town but a bit longer of a walk - still a great location. The room updates and whole feel are so lovely. The view was fantastic as we had a ocean view. Breakfast was yummy. The pool was a bit too cold for me during June but i saw some enjoying it. The advertisement stated that there is reception 9am to 9am but noticed there was often the “we will be right back” sign up often so keep that in mind.
Lauren, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not exactly as described

Photos and description show pool. The owner however rented out the pool one day and it was partitioned off and not available to hotels guests. I complied to the receptionist who called owner. No apology or compensation from the owner. Other than that the stay would have been nice.
3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice hotel. Modern with all you needed for a stay. Close to all major roads, walking was safe and staff members helpful. Our room was on the 3rd floor (no elevator) but not an issue for us, may be for some. Hot water took about 5 minutes to get to the shower in the morning, once it was there it was ready to go.
Harold, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A truly charming house

Initially the name of the place raised some concern. However, entry into the house reveals this is no ordinary hotel. It is exquisitely designed, with spectacular spaces, a marvelous pool and great staff. So, I give high marks for what is truly a charming house.

Hôtel très calme et charmant.
PHILIPPPE, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Like: property is clean, has good kitchen, decent breakfast, provide beach towels. Do Not Like: poor ventilation in the room, no closets, no private lights in the room, turning the light in the bathroom- lights the entire room The hotel charged us above the price paid on Expedia during the reservation and the price we agreed on via messages with owner. we booked the extra night due to early morning arrival, but our flight was late and hotel did not provide us breakfast we asked in advance and paid for .Owner never contacted us there.

Beautiful property, very safe. Breakfast was excellent, pool very warm, plenty of lounge chairs, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!
Sara, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Man kann neben seinem Zimmer auch die komplette Anlage benutzen. Zum Beispiel: Küche, Wohnzimmer, Essbereich, Garten, Pool (24/7). Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war grandios. Es gibt eine Bar am Pool und man kann Kleinigkeiten wie Wein in der Unterkunft kaufen. In der Nähe ist ein Supermarkt. Man hat private Parkplätze vor dem Haus.

Highly recommend this place to people traveling to Sao Miguel. The hotel and staff were great. It was an excellent location and the staff was very helpful on what to see on the island.

Had a wonderful time here, would recommend. Clean rooms, was quiet, friendly staff, great breakfast buffet included, and access to a heated pool.
Amit, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a wonderful place to stay! We arrived a little early but they were able to accommodate us. They gave us a tour and made us feel welcomed. The breakfast each morning was plentiful and delicious. The staff was attentive and helpful. Duarte helped us book a whale watch and warned us we needed to book the thermal spring baths ahead of time. The room was clean and comfortable. I liked being able to open the windows. We could hear the ocean surf when we didn't hear the neighborhood dogs barking. We were pleasantly surprised to have shared access to a balcony with chairs and a table. Watching the sunset with a bottle of wine we purchased from the hotel was a great way to end the day. They had a decent selection of wines to choose from. The heated outdoor pool was enjoyable and the grounds were well kept. It was super nice to have kitchen access with an assigned shelf in the fridge and a cabinet with plates and glasses to use. It was clean, modern and equipped with whatever utensils you needed to cook or reheat a meal. There were 2 grocery stores within walking distance. It was a short walk to town and the beach. Parking was off street and easy. The location was central for exploring Sao Miguel. We stayed a week and were very satisfied. We highly recommend the Volcanic Charming House!

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel with a very comfortable bedroom. The bathroom was not in proportion to the rest of the hotel, it was very basic (no place to put toiletries, no hangers, horrible white light and an uncomfortable shower cabin) The garden and the breakfast were excellent .

This house turned into an hotel is amazing! If you are looking for a place to adventure all day and then have a quiet, comfortable, and nice evening with amazing views this is your place. My husband and I dined in every night because we loved the scenery so much. We will definitely stay again.
