Ponta Delgada Lagoa das Empadadas Hotels

"We stayed at Vila Alegre with Antonio for 17 nights in February 2026. From the moment we arrived we were treated to Antonio’s gracious hospitality. He went out of his way to make us feel at home by supplying us with many delicious treats from the island including bread, fresh eggs from his chicken, fruits from his gardens as well as cheeses and jams. The accommodations were bright, clean, private and the surrounding gardens filled with tropical trees and flowers felt like paradise. During our stay he checked in with us regularly to make sure we had what we needed (and to drop off more fresh eggs!). The vila is just a short distance from the airport and downtown Ponta Delgada and an easy drive to all the beautiful sites that Sao Miguel has to offer. The bed was very comfortable and we loved waking up to the sound of mooing cows and singing birds in the distance. We also really appreciated his flexibility with early check in and late check out. We were sorry to have to say goodbye!"

"This hotel is definitely worth it , it is top notch We will come back for sure "

"Super clean, comfortable and helpful staff."

"Property is location was spectacular and the house amenities were excellent. São Miguel island is a surprising gem, our expectations were surpassed by a mile. Wonderful food and culture beautiful kind people and a beauty beyond words. We will miss it and will return soon. Thank you for the wonderful memories Alex "

"I stayed at Hotel Solar do Conde and, unfortunately, the experience was not what I had hoped for. The biggest issue was the bed: the “double” was only 137 cm wide, which feels more like something from generations ago than a modern hotel standard. For a stay in 2025, it was surprisingly small and uncomfortable, especially for two adults. On a positive note, the buffet breakfast was quite nice, with a decent variety and good quality. However, a good breakfast doesn’t make up for a poor night’s sleep. Given the outdated room comfort, I cannot recommend this hotel. There are better options in the area that offer more modern amenities and a more comfortable stay."

"I feel bad not giving this spot a glowing review but I want to be honest for future travelers. Pros: house is spacious, comfortable, temperature controlled, easy access"

"We loved this house for its large amount of space (one bedroom is far removed from the others so my parents could be away from the street noise and the grandkids). We also found it to be a great central location for exploring the island each day. Parking lot just up the street was very convenient to park our rental car, and a small store was within walking distance with essentials. Plumbing is a bit rustic, but disposing paper in the trash cans was easy. Manuel was very communicative and helpful. We loved our stay!"
