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
Ashley, 7-night trip

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!

6/10 Okay

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.
Inna, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic house with an oasis of a garden with pool. Great spacious accommodation and staff who go the extra mile to be helpful with advice and assistance with booking trips, restaurants etc. Great buffet breakfasts and easy parking. Probably the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in!
simon, 7-night trip

Our only issue was the dog barking all night nearby.
valerie, 3-night trip

8/10 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 .
Bram, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Confortable, and elegante room. Very nice garden and pool.
ester, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Such a beautiful space, and the staff were all extremely pleasant, kind and accommodating. We got a great tour of the property upon arrival and a wonderful and detailed explanation of suggested activities on the island, points if interest and personal recommendations. The breakfast had a great selection each morning as well. Felt like home away from home! Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!
Lindsey, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
LESLEE, 6-night trip

8/10 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 Poor

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 Excellent

Our stay here was almost perfect. The staff was excellent as was the breakfast selection. We did not use the pool as hoped, but it looked beautiful. Great to have a full kitchen available to us to store and prepare food. Wish we had known this ahead of time (as well as close location to grocery store); we would definitely have planned things differently! Our room was small, but we didn't spend much time there, so not a problem. Great price/value for this stay! Good location; close enough for us to walk anywhere in town. The only thing I did not like was the see through bathroom wall, that was a deal breaker for me.
Teresa, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed here for five days in July. The place is clean, modern, and conveniently located. The staff is friendly, helpful, and considerate. I locked my key in the room and called them after midnight to help us out. They were responsive and helped us promptly. Excellent breakfast spread, access to the well-equipped and clean kitchen, espresso machine, and filtered water. Parking on-site. We loved our stay, and we would have no problem staying here again if visiting the island.
