8.0 out of 10, Very good, (5 reviews)
"The place is beautiful, in a great location, private and secluded, with nice amenities such as hot tubs, pool, wood BBQ. It looks just like the pictures and overall, we enjoyed our stay. But, - very limited hot water. Takes long to warm up and then only lasts 5 minutes. Not enough for 2 showers. We could only fill the amazing bath up a few inches before it got cold, so kind of useless. - lots of ants, and when we complained, we were told to deal with it ourselves - there was a birds nest...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in São João?
The best area to stay in São João is the main village centre, particularly around the harbour and the area leading up Rua Direita.

This central part of São João is where you'll find the majority of amenities and activities. It's a compact area, making it very walkable, with shops, eateries, and tour operators all within easy reach of the harbour. The village church, Igreja de São João Baptista, is a prominent landmark, and you'll often find local events happening in the square nearby.

Couples looking for a convenient and relaxing stay will find this area ideal. You're perfectly placed to book boat trips for whale watching or exploring the nearby islands, and evenings can be spent enjoying a meal with views of the harbour. It offers a comfortable base for exploring the island.

For families, staying in the village centre provides easy access to everything you might need. The close proximity of restaurants means less travel time with little ones, and it's simple to arrange activities suitable for all ages directly from the harbour.
When is the best time to go to São João?
The best time to visit São João, Azores, Portugal, is typically from late spring to early autumn, specifically from May to October.

During these months, the weather is generally warmer and more settled, with less rainfall. This period is ideal for enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, whale watching, and exploring the island's natural beauty. The sea temperatures are also more inviting for swimming and other water sports.

For couples seeking a relaxing and scenic getaway, late May and early June offer pleasant weather before the peak summer crowds. You'll find the island's lush landscapes at their most vibrant, and it's a lovely time for coastal walks and enjoying the local cuisine in a more tranquil setting.

Families often find July and August to be the most convenient for a holiday due to school breaks. While these months are the busiest, the consistent warm weather means more opportunities for beach days, exploring volcanic caves, and participating in boat tours.
