Struttura pulita, camere spaziose, colazione eccellente, la signora che abbiamo incontrato la prima mattina ci ha preparato delle buste con la colazione take away per il giorno dopo che saremmo partite presto. Molto gentile
Da hospitalidade... simpatia e rápida acção em resolver pequenos problemas. Uma simpatia natural de excelência
Nada a apontar
Everything is new and decorated nicely, the breakfast was very fresh and homemade. The staff is very helpful, they washed and dried our clothes for us which saves a lot of time while traveling.
The small fridge in the room was working loudly during the night but it’s not necessary to use it as they provide breakfast. You can feel there’s a lot of humidity in the house even though we were visiting in dry season, however there is no mold or bad smells.
Da localização, zona com restaurantes, supermercado e farmácia. O alojamento muito acolhedor, espaço muito bem decorado e bem aproveitado. D. Maria sempre atenta no que era necessário para tornar a nossa estadia mais acolhedora, muito prestável. Pequeno almoço digno de um hotel de 4/5 estrelas, muito variado.
Nada a referir.
Camera bellissima, luminosa, spaziosa e pulita. Letto super comodo! Ottima colazione e personale gentile e disponibile. A pochi passi dalla struttura si trovano ristoranti e negozi ed è in una posizione molto comoda per esplorare l'isola!
Personnel sympathique,dynamique. Chambre confortable, avec terrasse.
Guest House molto curata nell’ arredamento in stile marinaro, colazione varia e con prodotti di buona qualità. buon rapporto qualità prezzo rispetto alla media degli alloggi sempre piuttosto cari
Forse il bagno della stanza un po’ piccolo
L’esmorzar el personal i molt cuco
Potser una mica justeta de dimensions l’habitació en si
Beautiful guesthouse with lovely staff. Spacious and clean room and lovely outdoor veranda. Breakfast was brilliant, lots of choice and freshly laid out. Location is great, we loved this town, such friendly people and beautiful surroundings.
Nothing, everything was great,
Atmosfera della locazione. L'ottimo ristorante di pesce fresco a 50 metri

Super gemütliches Guesthouse in Sao Mateus. Unglaublich freundlicher Empfang, sehr schönes Frühstück! Maria ist eine sehr außergewöhnliche und aufmerksame Gastgeberin 🩵 wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!
Nichts!
We loved the guesthouse. The owner went the extra mile by preparing breakfast to go for us on two occasions, which we really appreciated. The breakfast served at the guesthouse was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from.
We expected a quieter experience in a small town like São Mateus, but unfortunately the traffic on the main road passing directly by the guesthouse was quite noticeable. It was sometimes noisy and the exhaust fumes were also unpleasant, which took away somewhat from the otherwise pleasant stay.
L’accueil, le petit déjeuner, la propreté, les indications d’arrivée
Very good location, really close to the port and super well kept and managed
Stanza sottotetto ampia e confortevole. Pulizia e ottima colazione.
La decoración es muy alegre, buen desayuno y personal muy simpático
Falta aparcamiento para el coche, fue difícil encontrar donde aparcar
Alles wunderbar, vor allem unglaublich freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.
Very friendly staff who accommodated our very late arrival despite not having 24/24 check in. Cute bedrooms and dining area. There's a patio where you can have breakfast. The city is close to Angra and there's a supermarket nearby if you need it. There a nice little harbour. Quiet town. The garden was being renovated when we were there.
המלון מעוצב בצורה יפיפיה, יחס של המארחים מעל ומעבר
Gemakkelijke check-in, zeer vriendelijke mensen, lekker ontbijt. Alles was prima in orde!
Es war rundum toll! Die Mitarbeiterinnen waren total freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Frühstück war lecker, das Bett bequem. Sehr zu empfehlen!
Alles war schön
Ottima posizione in Sao Mateusz, spazi comuni molto curati, giardino, gentilezza, colazioni fresche e con dolci fatti in casa. Particolarmente apprezzato il cestino per la levataccia finale
Tutto ok. Forse il bagno potrebbe essere rinnovato, ma comunque pulito e spazioso.
Sehr, sehr liebevoll und detailreich eingerichtet. Super Frühstück. Sehr freundliche Inhaberin/Mitarbeiterin
Vista mare, colazione, staff, atmosfera, silenzio, comodità.

The Farol Guesthouse was very welcoming and easy to access. We loved the central location, the deck with views of the ocean, and the lovely breakfast each morning.
The host and the lady at breakfast. The room size and comfort.
The shower cubicle which very small. I could hardly fit in! The location. In hindsight, we should have stayed in Angra de Heroismo.
Hospitalidade e bem receber fantásticos. O bom gosto em cada recanto e um pequeno-almoço fantástico.
Gentillesse des 2 dames et la possibilité de manger à l’extérieur le matin!

Geteilter Balkon mit Nachbarzimmer
Tutto! La posizione nel paese S.Mateus è davvero rilassante, con il suo porticciolo e il lungomare. Isolati e di grande tranquillità. Maria è un host incredibile, insieme al suo staff sono stati di grande aiuto per il bagaglio smarrito e consigli in zona. Colazione super con prodotti salati locali, torte fatte in casa.
L'accueil par la réceptionniste qui parle français. La salle de petit déjeuner très agréable.
Le bruit de la rue (chambre sur rue). L'odeur de renfermé due à l'humidité du secteur, malgré un déshumidificateur bruyant dans la salle de bain. Pas d'aération.
Gentillesse. Très bon petit dejeuner. Très propre et menage das la chambre tous les jours. Très bon emplacement. Arrest de bus pour sangria et Biscoitos dement hotel

A cozy, family-run hotel with just a few rooms. Great breakfast featuring fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, and local pastries. Something different every day. Small kitchen in the common area for guests to use for cooking. Good, quiet location just under 5 km from Angra with free parking nearby (in front of the church). If you need a car, you can ask the hotel for one of their own vehicles, and for a small fee, you can be picked up at the airport. Supermarket just a few meters down the street. Very satisfied overall.

Disponibilidade no check in. Simpatia de quem trabalha lá. Tudo muito limpo e organizado.
Petit dej très copieux et varié. Emplacement contre une route très passante dommage
Le seul défaut est la présence d'une rue très bruyante et fréquentée sous les fenêtres. Autrement c'est parfait!
Tout et petit dejeuner excellent
Rien, aucun probleme
Un super accueil Une maison très chaleureuse Et un très bon emplacement Des resto a proximité très très bon Bref un super séjour
I like everything - location, nice and cozy room, tasty breakfast, wonderful and friendly owner Maria and other staff. Unforgettable 4 days!
We stayed at Faral Guesthouse for 3 nights while we explored the islands. Sao Mateus is beautiful and well located as a home base. Maria was a very kind host and provided us with a breakfast basket with a variety of food. The shared kitchen was well equipped. Our room was very comfortable. Parking was easy to find in front of the nearby church. Within walking distance to grocery store and good restaurants. We felt at home. Recommended.
Tutto il personale è stato disponibile e la camera era ampia e pulita
I lavori nella struttura causavano qualche disagio nella colazione
Maria top host, everything was perfect

Very nice staff, who did everything for us to feel good. Breakfast was different every day - thank you for that! Location is ok, close to Angra, parking nerby. Clean, comfortable rooms, equiped kitchen, beautiful terrace. Perfect for a longer stay :)

Sim
Estavam em obras o que fazia com que houvesse muito barulho no quarto e nao se conseguia descansar
Maison traditionnelle très bien rénovée à qq km du centre d'angra. Terrasse partagée avec vue mer. Cuisine partagée bien aménagée et très propre. Petit déj varié. Bonne literie.
Un peu de bruit de voitures sur la terrasse.
Jolie déco dans l'ensemble de la maison, confortable, bien équipée, spacieuse et très propre, atout supplémentaire pour la terrasse, très bon petit-déjeuner
Excellente location . Établissement très propre et décoré avec beaucoup de goût et charme. petit déjeuner copieux et variés.
Sehr schönes Haus Gutes Frühstück Sehr nett eingerichtete Zimmer Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit Nur wenige Schritte zum Meer Schöne Terrasse

Habitación limpia al igual que los espacios comunes. La cocina muy equipada y bien determinado el espacio de cada habitación. La terraza también es acogedora. Es un sitio tranquilo y silencioso.
No hay nada destacable que no me gustara
Colazione inclusa strepitosa e cura nei dettagli
Nice.
Cockroach in the bedroom - not good.
Camera accogliente
Difficoltà nel trovare parcheggio
Sehr schöne familiär geführte Unterkunft. Sauberes Zimmer, schönes Badezimmer, großes Bett. Gemeinsame Terrasse für alle Zimmer nutzbar nach hinten raus. Eine Küche ist auch für alle Gäste nutzbar (Zeitplan). Sehr gutes Frühstücksbüffet. Alles wird nachgelegt und ist reichlich vorhanden. Supermarkt in der Nähe. Kleiner Kühlschrank im Zimmer und auch in der Küche nutzbar. Hauptstraße vor der Unterkunft, tagsüber schon mal laut. Parkplätze vor dem Haus für kleine Autos, sonst an der Kirche in der Nähe.
Wir hatten das Familienzimmer für uns 5 gebucht. Es war auf der rückwärtigen Gebäudeseite und damit etwas leiser als die Zimmer zur Straße hin. Zwei Fenster konnten wir öffnen. Leider bekamen wir die Hitze nicht aus dem Zimmer. Die Klimaanlage war etwas zu klein für den großen Raum. Frühstück sehr lecker und gut. Wie haben und wohl gefühlt für 3 Nächte.
casetta molto bella e arredata in modo delizioso. camera ampia, con tutto quello che serve, compreso l'accesso ad una terrazza comune alle altre camere con sdraio, tavolo, set per grigliate e stendino. c'è una cucina per chi volesse comprarsi da mangiare e cucinare in autonomia. altrimenti la struttura offre solo la prima colazione (ottima). in zona ci sono un paio di ristoranti dove abbiamo mangiato sempre molto bene e un supermercato ben fornito
poco spazio per parcheggiare, se non di fronte ad una vicina chiesa
Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit fantastischem Frühstück. Hier passt wirklich alles. Wir kommen definitiv wieder.
Precioso alojamiento decorado con mucho cuidado y gusto, habitaciones muy bien equipadas, y aparte zonas comunes como cocina, salon y terraza habilitados para lo que necesites. Desayuno incluido rico y completo. Propietarios muy atentos con rapida respuesta, nos prepararon desayuno para llevar varios dias que teniamos que salir antes de la hora del desayuno. Limpieza de 10. Repetiriamos sin duda!
De los mejores hoteles que he estado en mi vida, todo perfecto en todos los sentidos.
Mooie locatie en zeer schone en mooie kamer!
Jammer dat het niet zijn eigen parkeerterrein heeft maar opzich kan je makkelijk in omgeving parkeren
Personale super accogliente e disponibile, ci hanno offerto la colazione anche la mattina in cui siamo arrivati. Stanza bella, pulita, ariosa, ben arredata. Abbiamo chiesto di fare la lavatrice e la signora si è presa carico di tutto e, con 4€, ci ha riportato i vestiti in camera in un pomeriggio. Ci hanno aiutato a prenotare il ristorante e tenuto le valigie l’ultimo giorno dopo che avevamo lasciato la camera. La cucina era pulita e ben attrezzata
Sehr schönes Guesthaus in der Nähe des Fischereihafens. Bequeme Betten, leckeres Frühstück.
Struttura deliziosamente arredata, pulita, confortevole, ottima posizione, parcheggio facile, colazione eccezionale.
Un super établissement avec une chambre donnant sur la terrasse, un personnel accueillant et charmant qui fait tout pour que notre séjour se passe bien. Le petit déjeuner est copieux, c'est un très bon rapport qualité prix.

Para além da localização, estava tudo muito limpo e o pequeno almoço era ótimo. O Staff é super atencioso e muito simpático.
El sitio es bonito y limpio. El personal muy amable. Desayuno rico y variado.
La ubicación. Está a 10 minutos en coche de Angra, que es donde hay más cosas. La zona del alojamiento no tiene nada. Dos o tres restaurantes cerca y poco más, todo cierra a las 10pm. Cuando volvíamos tarde después de todo el día de ruta no podíamos ni salir a tomar algo por allí si no cogíamos el coche. Y era difícil aparcar. Si lo llegamos a saber hubiéramos cogido alojamiento en Angra.
Tutto perfetto, stanza grande, pulita e accogliente, letti comodi, colazione variegata, posizione vicino a una spiaggia, Wi-Fi ottimo, padrona di casa impeccabile, bellissima terrazza, cucina fornita di tutto. Vorrei un posto come questo in ogni luogo in cui viaggio. Grazie davvero! E anche ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Se andate a terceira cercate di alloggiare qui
Ótimo acolhimento, espaço confortável e funcional, a fazer sentir-nos em casa. Excelente pequeno almoço.
Maria, the owner, made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms are well designed and comfortable. The rooms at the front can be slightly noisy at night, if you leave the windows open, as they overlook the road. (but you can always close the window and turn on the a/c). The rooms at the back are fabulous as they open out onto a lovely terrace, which can also be accessed from the communal kitchen, which is spotless and has designated cupboards and fridge space for each of the rooms. Taxi from the centre of Angra costs 7 euros. If you have a car, there is usually space to park in front of the church (about 50 metres away). We left our luggage at the hotel while we were away sailing for 5 nights and it was there waiting for us when we came back for an overnight stay before our flight home the following day. And the breakfasts are fit for a king.
Having to leave 😒. Wish we could have stayed longer...
Das Guesthouse liegt zentral im Dorf, gegenüber ist ein kleiner Laden, 300 m weiter ein gut bestückter Supermarkt, mehrere Restaurants in kurzer Entfernung (Tisch reservieren!), 1 km entfernt die Badestelle mit Restaurant. Angra erreicht man mit dem Auto in 15 min. Freundlicher Empfang, früherer Check-In möglich, ebenso das Unterstellen des Gepäcks am Abreisetag, jedoch keine 24 h Rezeption. Das Zimmer war nicht groß, aber mit Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank ausgestattet und hell; das Bad ohne Fenster, aber mit Luftentfeuchter, Fön, Toilettenartikeln. Unser Zimmer ging zur Straße hinaus, die man auch gehört hat. Nachts ist es ruhig. Andere Zimmer zum Meer haben einen Zugang zu einer Gemeinschaftsterrasse. Es gibt für alle Zimmer eine große, sehr gut ausgestattete Küche mit Kühlschrank, Gefrierschrank, Esstisch, Fächern für jedes Zimmer und Zugang zur Terrasse. Die Belegung kann über einen Plan organisiert werden. Zu unserer Zeit waren alle Zimmer belegt, die Küche wurde nur von einzelnen Gästen genutzt. Das Frühstück ist umfangreich und liebevoll zubereitet. Es gibt neben mehreren Sorten Brot, Wurst, Käse und Marmelade auch Joghurt, gekochte Eier, Kuchen, frisches Obst, Cerealien und Nüsse.

Personnel très gentil et prêt à rendre service. Petit déjeuner très correct. Possibilité de faire des lessives et d’utiliser la terrasse et la cuisine de l’étage. Facile de se garer ( mais il faut une voiture !)
O atendimento foi muito bom. Bom pequeno almoço.
Não havia estacionamento disponível.
Los desayunos
Very friendly and welcoming staff, very nicely decorated guesthouse.
Located in a small village that is quite busy (traffic) but there is not too much to do in the direct vicinity. No big problem if you have a rental car like we did, but good to know.
Vriendelijke mensen, gemakkelijk om een taxi te regelen ter plekke of een auto te huren zelfs. Snel beantwoorden via whatsapp van vragen over wat we konden doen … Handig dat er een keukentje was! Super verblijf!
De douche was klein
El alojamiento es de 10, el personal súper amable, la habitación muy espaciosa, limpia y con detalles que la hacen muy bonita. Tiene una cocina compartida con todo lo necesario para cocinar y muy limpia y una terraza para poder comer fuera. Por último, pero desde luego no menos importante, el desayuno es increíble, tipo buffet con fruta, zumo, pan, bizcochos... todo buenísimo. Además, el día que te vas, si te tienes que ir pronto te preparan todo en una cajita, lo que nos pareció un detalle.
Es imposible encontrarle un pero a este alojamiento.
La ubicación es estupenda. La atención del personal maravillosa. La terraza que tienen está muy bien si algún día quieres comer allí.
Nada.
Tout très bien, la gentillesse du personnel, les petits déjeuners, la terrasse à partager, la cuisine collective très pratique, le décors de l’établissement très joli.
Rien mais bien demander les chambres qui ne donnent pas sur la route mais sur la terrasse.
