Stayed Sep 25, 2025This was an amazing rental. The house is quite large with 3 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and a large living are on the main level. It was very well equipped for dining in and everything was in working order. There is a beautiful large terrace facing the ocean where you can also relax and eat. The beach is only a 2 minute walk and the host even provided beach towels. The location is good but expect to do some traveling to the popular sight seeing areas. The island is small enough though to get around easily. We loved our stay at this beautiful home.

Stayed Sep 15, 2025The house is in a fantastic location. We made day trips in all directions. We really loved this spot, however. We loved hiking the local trails, watching people working in their fields, walking down to the beach. Two of us went in swimming. The only problem we had was the third bed in the middle room turnedout to be a trundle bed and would br suitable for a child, not a senior citizen One of us slept on the long sofa with bedding Jose provided. That was fine.We ate and relaxed on the patio, wondering at the cows high above us in the steep meadows. We are all ready to come back soon.

Stayed Jul 4, 2025This was one of the best homes we have stayed in. It lived up to every expectation. Very well provisioned…. down to coffee and espresso ready to enjoy. All the manuals for the appliances, and great suggestions for nearby restaurants and grocery shopping. Loved our morning views as we enjoyed brunch on the patio….. beds were comfy and two showers were a plus in getting ready for our family event.

Stayed Jun 23, 2025We had the most amazing vacation in Sao Miguel. The hydrangeas were in full bloom during our stay and were absolutely stunning throughout the entire island. The house was so welcoming, comfortable and clean. Jose was very responsive to our requests and questions. The house had the most stunning views of the ocean, fully equipped with everything you will need, and is located within walking distance to the beach. It’s centrally located to visit every aspect of the island. We definitely recommend staying here!

Stayed Jun 8, 2025We had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect for going on excursions and if you prefer not to be out and about, the great beach is only a few minutes' walk away. We would love to come back.

Stayed May 25, 2025This property was everything as described in the VRBO ad and more. Location was quiet yet close to everything we needed and everything we wanted to see. The beach was spectacular, warm water and lots of space to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Would definitely recommend this location and would stay here on our next trip to the Azores.

Stayed May 12, 2025Casa das Hortensias is a wonderful and comfortable house located in a charming town, surrounded by beautiful Azores countryside. The two outside decks overlook a beautiful vista and black sand beach which is a 5 minute walk from the house. Hiking trails complete with waterfall is very close and accessible.

Stayed Apr 27, 2025The house was clean, had all the necessary amenities, José was always quick in his communication, and the location is fairly central on the island (but tucked away in cute Porto Formoso, so it was more low-key and quiet… minus all our rooster neighbors). We loved our stay!

Stayed Mar 4, 2025We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa das Hortencias! Although our time there was wet and windy, we found lots to do. From hiking to shopping, to exploring or spending quiet time indoors, we all found entertainment. The house was well supplied with kitchen equipment and we made good use of it all. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms worked as they should. In total, a very good experience.

Stayed Sep 21, 2024Our group of 5 adults had a wonderful week at House of Hydrangeas, a very comfortable home with a beautiful view of the ocean. It was so relaxing hearing the surf and the waterfall. The house was in the perfect central location for day trips to explore all parts of the island. Parking spaces were available right in front of the house.The house had everything you needed to cook meals and was also very near to excellent restaurants. Self check in/check out was very convenient and Jose was easy to reach. It was exciting to see the hydrangeas at the house in full bloom in late September!

Stayed May 25, 2024Such and amazing home and the location and views were better than we could have imagined. The hosts provided everything we could have needed and the tea and treats they left for us upon arrival were a lovely surprise. Perfect location to easily get to Furnas and Ribeira Grande. Beach cafe and restaurant within walking distance served delicious food. If we ever return we would stay here again!
