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!
