Peaceful Paridise

This 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.

Exactly what we were hoping for

The 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!

Magical Spot

Casa 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.

excellent value

Though we would not go in March again because of the rainy/cloudy weather, we would give this place a big thumbs up for location, quietness, and view. Fairly priced, and central to several island highlights, we had a very comfortable stay.

Perfect Place

Such 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!

The 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.

Visiting Porto Formoso

We 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.

A great stay in a perfect location...

Jose was a wonderful host who was very responsive and helpful when we had a small crisis (not with the property). The location was perfect for us -- centrally located on the island, allowing for easy day trips in any direction. Both restaurants within walking distance were very good, and the village of Moinhos itself was picturesque, and one of our favorite places of the entire trip. The property was great, having everything we needed. We would not hesitate to book here again -- one of our very best VRBO experiences.

Sao Miguel holiday

Had a wonderful time at José's property. It was exactly as advertised. Quiet area, beautiful views, and your own personal waterfall. Beach just a few minutes walk, and centrally located to the entire island. Having a washing machine came in handy, and the outdoor shower was perfect. Parking on the steep hill with a stick shift can be a little bit exciting but outside of that everything was a breeze. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful stay at House of Hydrangeas

Our family spent 2 weeks at this lovely house. Its exactly as described on VCBO. Lots of room for 6 people, and the views.... incredible. José was easily available online for any questions. Two restaurants within a 5 minite walk. One beach food, the other fine dining. Bring your hiking shoes. Would definitely stay again.

Breathtaking Island

Our 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!

Beautiful home and view

The property was very clean, cozy and exactly as advertised. Jose was very responsive to all emails and flexible with our checkin/checkout times. The house is walking distance to 3 restaurants. We enjoyed two meals at Joseph's beach bar/restaurant Praia Moinhos. It is literally steps from the house and located on the beach. Our weather was rough but, Jose has a fireplace and everything we needed to build a cozy fire and play cards with our grandsons. I would love to stay here again during the Summer months and enjoy all of the decks of the house and more time of the beautiful beach.

50th Anniversary in the Azores

We picked this rental from the pictures of its locale, the pictures and description of the rental itself and the previous renter reviews. We were not disappointed. The home was very clean, comfortably furnished, completely equipped and ideally located. The ocean view from the first floor and second floor terraces was breathtaking. We were about five minutes walk from a large sandy beach with terrific wave and surf activity. The soothing sound of the surf was audible all day and night. Hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulty were walking distance away and provided spectacular hillside and ocean views. Our host was most hospitable. This was our first overseas rental and our host's warm and pleasant manner, his attention to our needs and the ease of contact with him added to a wonderful vacation experience.

This 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.

This 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.
