The property was conveniently located to many popular attractions. The host provided some nice locally made provisions. We enjoyed our stay.

The owner greeted us and happily answered any questions. The location is 15 minutes from the airport and centrally on the island so we easily drove to all points of interest. The décor was fascinating antiques and modern kitchen appliances. The yard is a large magical garden with fruit trees and chickens. We loved it.

Charming place within its own botanical garden!
The perfect place to relax and to discover this wonderful island! The apartment is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and very peaceful. We enjoyed the inside (especially the wonderful wintergarden) as well as the outside (you feel like you are in a botanical garden!) very much ... also on rainy days! The owner Antonio - who lives upstairs - is lovely, very helpful and was very considerate and respectful of our privaty. The communication was always perfect and we were even surprised by a wonderful welcome package as well as fresh eggs during the week! The location in the middle of the island is perfect to explore the island. Free parking is available directly in front of the house. Grocery stores are available in the little city. A wonderful place which we can recommend and would love to come back to!

We enjoyed sharing in the history of the property. The house is beautifully restored, and the gardens are lovely. Great care was taken by the owner which included large bouquets of flowers throughout the house.

Idyllic Vila Alegre
Thank you to our host, Antonio, for your hospitality and generosity during our 2 week stay. Vila Alegre is a beautiful property with amazing gardens. We loved our time in Sao Miguel and will be back.

Amazing Stay with Antonio!
Everything about our stay was great. Antonio had flawless pre arrival communication, allowed us an early checkin (which was much appreciated after an overnight flight) and welcome light breakfast was extremely hospitable. The property itself was as advertised and perfect for three active people. The setting and all the amazing gardens that are so well loved allowed for a peaceful and tranquil setting each day. Highly recommend this amazing property to all.

Loved every minute of our stay!
From the moment we arrived and Antonio greeted us, it was perfect! He was such a kind man and we loved hearing about the gardens and enjoyed spending time sitting on the sun porch overlooking the beautiful property. The local foods he provided were delicious and were very much appreciated until we could get to a store. The apartment was spacious and immaculate…and decorated beautifully. Location couldn’t be better to get anywhere on the island. Thank you for a fantastic vacation and we hope to be able to return soon!
