Spacious, generously furnished house in a row of ancient fishermen’s houses

Period property in good location in Lagoa, Very nice garden leading down to the sea, spacious and well maintained plus good communication with the owner

Smoot check-in and out. Nice entry to the ocean and possibility to bath there. Restaurant next to the house. Nice ocean view. Splendid garden.

This house is everything we could have wanted and more. It's in a lovely location, is spacious, the grounds are incredibly and it comes with the sweetest little cat. It definitely deserves 5 stars.

The house is large, the location is great and the views out to the ocean are incredible! What a nice bonus, the white cat! Thank you n

The house is beautiful particularly the garden which is worthy of a Chelsea flower show exhibit and overall the house etc are exactly as described. It has three bathrooms, two with showers and one with a bath with shower above. The natural pool is a very short walk as described. The supermarket is walkable (we did not rent a car) and there are two restaurants and a pizzeria nearby without having to walk very far which we did frequent and were good. A lot of care had been put into our stay - swimming towels were in a lovely condition as were the main house towels. The beds were made with our family in mind. There are fans for the sultry nights which did the trick and overall the house was very well equipped for our stay.

A storybook garden, an enchanting home, and a dream location. If you want to have a more local experience that happens to be at the ocean with tide pools behind you and a walkway along the ocean, this is a fantastic choice. An easy drive to so many wonderful locations. Cozy up at night with the extra blankets, and make sure to put your laundry out to dry first thing in the morning and bring it in before the sun sets due to humidity. The caretaker is welcoming and the host is accommodating and responds quickly to emails. If you like to surf, or want to learn, I recommend Ride the Wave Surf School.

We had a wonderful time. The house is lovely and the garden is just beautiful. The ocean in the back with its tidal pools makes this place extraordinary. Rita the host is so accommodating. We arrived early and she allowed us to rest in the garden as Tania and another lady were cleaning. Thanks for a special time spent with family.

Great location Awesome garden The only little things : heat in the house and several barking dogs when we were there

We spent a magical 2 weeks at Casa Lisette. We loved Branquinha and spent most all our time at the house in the garden which is even more beautiful than the listing photos. The location is perfect for touring the whole island with nothing being more than an hour away and most places to visit within 20 minutes. The tidal pools are right outside the garden back gate and are a great place to spend some quiet, relaxing time. There is a restaurant also outside the back gate for a cold beer and great snacks with an ocean view. A grocery store is less than 5 minutes away. There is no air conditioning so expect the bedrooms to be warm at night in the summer. The fans help. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. Rita and Tania are very responsive and helpful when you need something. We would stay here again should we return to Sao Miguel.

Our family of five enjoyed a truly magical vacation Nossa Senhora do Rosario! Everyone was comfortable and happy to have their own bedroom. It was also great to have three full bathrooms. The house is filled with character-stone walls, heavy wooden doors, and a beautiful beamed vaulted ceiling in the main living area. The private gardens leading to the sea were stunning and well maintained. Our new cat friend, Branquinha, greeted us at the door each time we returned from our adventures and required minimal care. The house’s location at the midpoint on Sao Miguel was fantastic. Punta Delgado is a close 10 minute drive where there are shops, restaurants and a well stocked grocery store. The construction next door was a bit intrusive as the workers were on the roof, so we felt that we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful grounds as much as we would have liked. They began work each day at 8 AM and worked every day except Sunday. We did appreciate Rita notifying us ahead of our arrival about the construction, so we weren’t unpleasantly surprised. The rooms did get stuffy since there was minimal air flow. The two upstairs bedrooms had only doors (no windows) for ventilation which needed to be shut at night for bugs and security, We purchased two additional fans so we would all be comfortable. Overall, we loved our stay at this beautiful home on this magnificent island and would definitely stay here again! Thank you for hosting us! Muito obrigado! -Laura and Stephen C.
