Casadacidade

We loved everything about our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, the room was wonderfully clean, and most outstanding are the wonderful hosts (a bit like having an in-house travel agent)! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Pedro e Maria molto accoglienti e gentili e ottimi consiglieri per esplorare l’isola Colazione con prodotti del posto molto buona

Nelle camere presente un po di odore di muffa ma comprensibile vista l’umidità dell’isola

La atencion del amfitrion

La casa es antigua y los suelos hacian mucho ruido, se oian los vecinos mucho

Pedro und Maria sind hervorragende Gastgeber! Direkt beim Einchecken hat Pedro uns mit allen wissenswerten Informationen ausgestattet und uns auch eine Liste mit seinen Restaurantempfehlungen incl Öffnungszeiten und Reservierung zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Empfehlungen sind auch definitiv empfehlenswert 😊 Auch die selbstgemachten Marmeladen waren sehr lecker und wir hatten große Freude mit dem Familienhund 😊 Danke für die tolle Gastfreundschaft

Unser 3 Bett Zimmer könnte man nicht so gut lüften. Aber alles im Rahmen

Very friendly and helpful hosts, authentic

It felt more like visiting distant family than staying at a rental. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the location was perfect for exploring the island. Would definitely come back.

Excellent location near the city centre of Ponta Delgada. The hosts are absolutely lovely, Pedro’s maps of the island and his recommendations made our stay really enjoyable. They also have a really cute dog!

The location is ideal for exploring the island - close to free parking and easy to walk to restaurants. Pedro’s recommendations for restaurants, itineraries and routes were excellent and his customized maps were uniquely helpful. He and Maria are very welcoming, helpful hosts!

Super lieve leuke warme mensen Heerlijk ontbijt en bedden Super schoon Geweldige tips voor sao Miguel Heerlijk de ochtend starten met weer en die tips

The location was perfect and the inn was beautiful- historic and well maintained. The host was great- very informative and helpful.

Perfect

Nothing

Parfait pour toutes les prestations

Se sentir chez soi

Très belle maison. Bien décorée. Accueil très attentionné et personnalisé par ce couple charmant qui parle anglais, français, espagnol. Chaque jour Pedro nous a proposé des sites à visiter avec des conseils et des cartes. L'hôtel de 4 chambres qui fonctionne comme une maison d'hôtes est très propre et fonctionnel. Très bien placé en ville. Le petit déjeuner est complet et approvisionné régulièrement.

Rien

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral in Ponta Delgada gelegen. Bei unserer Ankunft haben wir direkt eine Karte mit den Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt und eine weitere Karte mit Restaurant-Empfehlungen erhalten. Unser Zimmer war sehr sauber, das Frühstück war sehr lecker - mit regionalen Produkten und selbstgemachten Marmeladen und Granola. Jeden Morgen fragte uns Pedro, was unser Plan für den Tag sei und hat uns dann direkt eine Karte der Region mit den Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurant-Empfehlungen und. Aussichtspunkten ausgedruckt. Seine Tipps waren super! Wir hatten eine ganz tolle Zeit in Casadacidade und kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank an Maria und Pedro - wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Breakfast was a selection of breads, soft cheese, ham and cheese slices, fresh pineapple, strawberries and bananas, yogurt and granola with passion fruit juice, coffee and tea. Buffet was plentiful and there was a selection of jams. All the food was described as locally produced.

Fresh fruit, yoghurt, local cheese / deli, assortinent of home made jelly - awesome

Pedro and Maria were great hosts. The breakfast was lovely and it was in a wonderful location.

Great location, lovely and knowledgeable hosts, excellent breakfast, pleasant outdoor space. The house is creaky though, bring earplugs for the nights if you are a light sleeper.

Rooms are small so there is no space to put a small table and chair, which would have been nice but not essential.

Pedro and Maria were incredibly friendly and helpful. The maps that were shared ended up guiding most of my stay. The little advice and tips really helped build my entire vacation. The continental breakfast each morning was so simple and delightful. Including the 'emergency breakfast' if you need to leave early. Room was simple, clean and lovely.

Nothing - would definitely return

Really great location in the center less than 15 minutes to the airport by car 10 minute walk to the port where there was a protected local swimming area. Room on the garden side of the property is quiet in the bedding and pillows are really comfortable. Pedro and Maria are really nice and full of local knowledge. Pedro has made maps of the entire island broken up into sectors to make it easy to find highlights in the surrounding areas. He has recommendations for pretty much any you could think of and was a really really nice man. To top it off there’s a great nibbling yellow Labrador that will enjoy sitting at your feet during breakfast. This is about the perfect place to stay. We were very happy.

La disponibilità e l’attenzione di Pedro e Maria, le colazioni con prodotti freschi e locali. L’amore per la propria isola che viene condivisa tutti i giorni con gli ospiti.

Staying at Pedro and Maria's place was great. They are very welcoming. The breakfast is delicious with self-made jams and they have a very nice garden to sit in. The room was clean and even if the house is very central at a road noise during night is reduced to a minimun thanks to added windows.

Wir haben uns rundun sehr wohl in dem Hotel gefühlt.

Conforto, limpeza e simpatia 10/10 Ótima localização

El trato del personal y la limpieza. El desayuno muy bueno.

Todo bien

Wir haben 5 Nächte in der Casa da Cidades bei Pedro, Maria und Familienhund Trincas verbracht – und sind noch immer sprachlos, wie wunderschön diese Zeit war. Das Highlight jedes Tages war das gemeinsame Frühstück. Nicht nur, dass es unglaublich fein und liebevoll zubereitet war – es gab zusätzlich einen einzigartigen Extra-Service: Pedros „Maps“. Perfekt ausgearbeitete Tagestouren, warmherzig und mit viel Humor erklärt („don’t worry, you can go – it’s not your car“). Er nimmt einem alle Sorgen, selbst vor engen oder holprigen Straßen. Pedros Stimme hat uns auf vielen Touren begleitet, und dank seiner Tipps haben wir unzählige schöne Plätze entdeckt und traumhafte Erinnerungen gesammelt. Es war mehr als nur ein Aufenthalt – es war ein Erlebnis, das uns im Herzen bleibt.

Jardín y desayuno La hospitalidad de los anfitriones La ubicación y el entorno

it was splendid, the hosts were welcoming, caring and supportive. The breakfast was the nice start of the day - it was beautiful set, placed in the garden and full of varied dishes - the best were ananas and other fruits We got advice what to do and what is expected weather for each day it was very "personalized" and we had the feeling that we and other guests are exceptional The location is also great - in the middle of old town, in quiet part, near beautiful botanical gardens This home definitely deserves recommendation

a litlle bit noisy room from the sstreet side - it was unable to open the windows because of this but it is impossible to change :) ask for the room from the garden's side :)

María y Pedro fueron unos anfitriones excepcionales. La casa era preciosa y estaba muy bien ubicada en el pueblo. El desayuno completo y en general todo fue muy bien. Nos gustaría volver pronto

Hosts, Pedro and Maria, are warm and helpful. Pedro has a map for everywhere you want to explore on the island, and has great suggestions. Lovely breakfast on the patio with Trincas the dog. Can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful heritage home, fabulous gardens. Pedro and Maria were charming and gracious hosts. The wonderful breakfasts each morning were so appreciated. They are such great ambassadors for Sao Miguel and the Azores.

We loved everything. Warm hospitality.

It’s a beautiful house that is both centrally located and quiet. Breakfast was an absolute delight, especially the orange cake! The photography throughout was an amazing. And, the travel suggestions with maps with photos made for such excellent travels.

Parking is tricky so we opted for the garage next door.

The location is right in the heart of downtown. We had an easy access to attractions and food. The hostesses were very friendly.

It’s an old well maintained house but we had three things we didn’t like. First: the windows really need a mosquito net, because there are a lot of mosquitos. Second: It is difficult to park because it is in downtown area so you have to prepare to pay extra for parking. The good thing is that there is a public parking lot very close to the house and it is not that expensive. We paid around $12 for 12 hours. Third: The breakfast. It was very basic and the same every day. We slept there for four nights.

This was my second stay at Casa de Cidades, my first being in 2018 for 7 days, with this trip being 9 days. I should say that Casa de Cidades is not your typical hotel. It only has 4 rooms (each with complete ensuite facilities) and the owners (Pedro and Maria) also live there. The main floor of the house is shared with all guests enjoying a wonderful included breakfast at the dining table. Pedro and Maria are proud to serve a traditional breakfast featuring fresh products from the Azores, from cheeses, cold-cuts, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, breads, jams and preserves, etc. It’s such a personal and enjoyable experience to sit at breakfast and meet the other guests, share travel tips and stories, and plenty of laughter. That’s truly what sets Casa de Cidades apart. It’s like being at home with friends and family. Pedro is a wealth of local information and supplies maps/information on local sights, restaurants, etc so you’re ready to explore the island. If you’re driving a rental car, there is paid parking 50 meters away, but also a large free parking lot about 200 meters away up the hill. For my wife and I, Casa de Cidades feels like a home-away-from-home and a little bit of our hearts will always remain behind! Obrigado Pedro and Maria!

Breakfast is available from 8:15 to 10:15 a.m. Like most travellers, we are eager to get out and start our day exploring the wonderful island early. My only niggly complaint is that we would have like to have breakfast earlier. Say 7:15 am start so we could have been out and gone by 8 am.

Comfortable, safe, and welcoming atmosphere.

Pedro's hospitality

Beat host we’ve ever had!

The BnB hosts, Pedro and Maria, were simply lovely and thoughtful. Pedro was exceptionally responsive to my pre-arrival questions and assisted on several special requests that I had. The building is nicely restored, comfortable and quiet. It is centrally located to shops and restaurants and has free parking nearby. The daily breakfasts are tasty and fresh featuring Azorian products. Pedro is an ambassador for Sâo Miguel island, each day he kindly offers to assist guests with their touring itinerary, providing detailed and well researched information about what to see, do and where to eat. All in all an exceptional stay. We will recommend to friends as well as look to stay again in the future.

Pedro was very helpful in making plans on maximizing our time on the island. He has maps that show exactly where things are and what he would recommend! It was invaluable!!! We really appreciate it!

I have nothing to complain about.

Beautiful house made to feel like a home from home by the wonderful hosts (including their lovely dog). Location is absolutely spot on for a central base in Ponta Delgada from which to explore the island. All prior planning went swiftly out the window thanks to Pedro’s wonderful maps of the different areas of the island which ensure nothing gets missed with so many hidden gems that made the trip even better. Breakfast out in the garden each morning was the perfect way to start the day

Absolutely nothing

This is a lovely place to stay - the location is ideal for anything in town, with parking very close if you have a hire car. The hosts are amazing - they have detailed maps of the island and excellent knowledge of everything you can do. They both take the time to talk you through your plans and make suggestions each morning. The breakfast spread has a small but good range of locally-sourced, fresh food and the best homemade granola!

Our room was a little warm at night - but there was hotter weather than the island is used to when we visited, and we had a very good fan that helped.

Very kind hosts, amazing breakfast! I loved the location, too.

Interior decoration, cleanliness, location

Nothing

Breakfast was awesome with something for everyone including local specialties. The location was excellent with regard to parking, waterfront, and restaurants. The hosts are outstanding people and a lot of fun to talk to. They went to special effort to make our anniversary special. Pedro also did a fantastic job of preparing maps with points of interest and restaurants for the entire island.

While the open air was great for sleeping, I awoke the final morning with at least 50 mosquito bites. There is no air-conditioning so open windows are needed. Perhaps some window screens would solve the problem? Other than this one small issue, our stay here was perfect.

Casa da Cidade is run by Pedro and Maria, who are warm, delightful hosts. It was like staying in a very comfortable, characterful 19th century Azorean home. We were made most welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Pedro is a fountain of wisdom on local information, with a wealth of information on the sights of Ponta Delgada - a most charming town - and the restaurants. His recommendations for eating out led us to some outstanding local restaurants, such as Boa Vista and Tasca. Maria's garden is exceptionally pleasant, and we breakfasted every morning out in the open - Maria's jams and conserves were wonderful. Both Pedro and Maria speak excellent English. Tours of the island of Sao Miguel can be organized with local drivers at reasonable cost. Casa da Cidade is located ideally, in a characterful quiet historic neighbourhood, a short walk to the sea front (whale watching is a must) and shops, restaurants and supermarkets as well as the main attractions of the town. We plan to return!

Absolutely nothing to criticize at Casa da Cidade, but visitors to Ponta Delgada should note that many shops and restaurants are closed on Sunday, so you'll need to confirm opening times. Pedro's list of restaurants is most helpful.

Comfortable room with a beautiful courtyard view. Breakfast was amazing! We enjoyed visiting with the hosts each morning and planning our itinerary. They had the best restaurant recommendations!

It is a cozy place well located. Rooms are clean and staff is friendly.

Breakfast could include eggs and more varied fruit.

Pedro the owner was incredibly helpful, the breakfast was wonderful, and the location gave easy access to restaurants and attractions. This is a great B & B! Muito obrigado Pedro for all the wonderful suggestions and help throughout our stay - we loved our time at Casa da Cidade!

Nothing - everything was great!

The bed was very large and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, but it’s easy to walk to all kinds of restaurants and bars.

Casadacidade is a lovely Inn - very clean, with comfortable beds, great WiFi, located on a quiet street very close the town center and wonderful restaurants. Breakfast included fresh local fruits, cheeses, and baked goods - delicious coffee. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating - arranging for a local tour guide, and recommending good restaurants nearby.

It was really nice, nothing to criticize.

The hosts, Pedro and Toninha, are the best! They make us feel at home, guided through the best places of sao Miguel (Pedro gave us amazing maps each day of the area we were interested in), and spoiled us with delicious breakfasts. The place has a lot of character, and the beautiful photos made by Pedro, gives you a hint of how beautiful Sao Miguel is. Be aware of the dog, it's ready for a lot of love and greetings all the time, and will definitely try to convince you to share your breakfast!

Nothing!

A charming house! Engaging and helpful hosts.

We had a great experience here. The breakfast was great lots of local foods. Pedro and his wife were excellent hosts and helped us make the most of our time on the island. The location is great and we were able to walk easily to many locations in the city.

We only booked four of the seven days where on the island so we did not like having to leave to stay somewhere else.

The hosts, Pedro and Maria were so welcoming and gave us maps and tips about the island. Their home was charming and they prepared an amazing breakfast which was sourced totally on the Azores. Wonderful experience.

A chic hotel with the flavor of subtropical islands, tasty local food and welcoming hosts.

Pedro and Veronica were amazing hosts with great hospitality. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. Pedro also had great recommendations on sites and places to eat

We were welcomed with open arms and enjoyed our breakfast each morning. We were able to walk to many interesting places. Old town was only minutes away.

Super breakfast! Lovely hosts! Location is good. Pedro was really good with the information on the island.

None

Guest house owners were very nice and friendly, the place was very clean.

Wifi was rather unreliable- I had to take a few work video calls and the connection was too slow to allow that, I had to use my mobile internet. Using common spaces (a living room and a terrace) felt a lot like intruding as the guesthouse owners were constantly there. The room itself was super tiny - it fit only a bed and had half a meter space to the right and left and maybe one meter at the legs side. Breakfast was a disappointment - it had a very limited selection of foods (jam, bread, fruit, processed meet, cheese, yogurt, tea, coffee) and no healthy options (no vegetables and no healthy proteins). Adding something simple like eggs and salad would have been a great improvement. My room’s windows faced the street, which was so loud with traffic, that if I was watching a movie on my laptop and a car was passing by, I couldn’t hear anything that was said.

We could not have chosen a better place to stay, to explore Ponta Delgardo. Pedro was a brilliant host , location very good, rooms very clean. Atmosphere very friendly and cosy. Tour buses pick up just down the road and a great choice (as recommended by Pedro) of restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast very good and relaxed.

Nothing

Very close to city centre, close to the airport, good breakfast, very clean room (cleaning every day!) and very nice and helpful owners - I got city map with crucial information about visiting the city and places to eat, they also helped me to find some tours to interesting places :)

Urban noise, street lantern directly in the window (but it seems to be Azorean flavour ;) )

Pedro and Maria were fantastic hosts making you feel at home. They were happy to provide detailed information about the whole island, carefully recommending sites, routes, hiking and restaurants. Adelicious beakfast was set up beautifully with all local foods and enjoyed outside in the garden if the weather permitted. This also gave us the opportunity to meet some wonderful travelers. Our room was very comfortable for 2, spotlessly clean, beautiful traditional furniture, extremely comfortable bed, good wifi, contemporary bathroom with good shower, and the room overlooked the garden. Pedro's professional photographs of the Azorean landscapes adorn the walls giving the house a gallery feel. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. It's very easy to get in and out of town with a car as parking was nearby. The town was easily walkable from Casadacidade. If you want the experience of living in a beautiful Azorean home with great hospitality, this is a wonderful opportunity.

Having to leave!

Excellent breakfast! Pedro was extremely accommodating & helpful in all respects!

Fantastic location close to all major downtown attractions. The host and his wife were outstanding. They shared their extensive knowledge of San Miguel and Ponta Delgada recommending restaurants and sights . The owner a professional photographer provided his own detailed maps of the area which were very helpful. If you desire a truly authentic Azorean experience look no further. You will feel like family!

Only that I couldn’t stay longer!

Pedro's care and helpfulness. His suggestions were really appreciated! Attention to details, homemade breakfast with local products.

I had a very nice stay at Casa da Cidade. The rooms are cozy, the breakfast is all local products and Pedro and Maria are great experts for all sorts of recommendations around the island. I would return anytime.

It was a fantastic stay, I cannot think of anything I didn’t like.

Very friendly people and a lovely & cosy atmosphere. And they have such a very cute dog ♡ they were super helpful and gave us good recommendations for restaurants & tours

Pedro and his wife were really helpful and friendly. They made me feel at home immediately. They also have a cute dog joining you for breakfast :) Also, Pedro suggested me some restaurants and places to go. I tried one of them, and it was a really local restaurant with delicious food.

So you get there, fresh off the flight from Lisbon and parked (unbeknownst to you, illegally) along the narrow street. Pedro, in all his Ernest Borgniney congeniality, ushers you into the parlor. Have a euro for the meter and cast the luggage aside my friends, actual and metaphysical, and let’s get you settled. Maps and an amiable dog appear, the latter a canine instantiation of Pedro - but desirous of belly rubs and your leftovers. A town full of restaurants, shops, and stories is revealed to you across the garden table. Ask about Furnas, ah but the island will be unveiled day by day and map by map - don’t get ahead of yourself . Up the gently curving stairway, skeleton keys prefer some artful jiggling. The rooms? Oh, the rooms are quite nice & clean. Views of the garden. A warming towel rack. Fickle Azorean breezes against the tall windows. Breakfast is fine too; sweet breads and such. Pumpkin jam. Local cheese. Coffee. The salient features here are the people (and dog), their relaxed competence, local wisdom, and friendliness. So, sure -- come for the central location, the breakfast, the clean, quiet and well appointed rooms. None of that is likely to disappoint. But that's not what you'll remember.

Great place to stay and learn much about the island and all places worth seeing. The owners explain all you need about the Sao Miguel island, provide maps, tips and much more. Great atmosphere (home like), cosy but comfortable room, breakfast from local products. One of the places one will remember and like to visit again.

All was perfect.

Best place I've ever stayed. Beyond the super confortable bed, sparkling clean room and delicious breakfast full of local produce, the hosts Pedro, Maria and Trincas (the dog) were absolutely amazing. You can just stay in your room, but if you have time to sit with Pedro and hear his stories it would make the whole experience of visiting the Azores much more exciting. We honestly missed them when we left and moved to another hotel in another area. Location is also great, close to everything, but in a quiet road.

Nothing, everything was amazing.

Lovely place for a few days in Ponta Delgada and the provision of maps, landmarks, restaurants etc made it a very easy trip and we enjoyed all of the recommendations! Also lovely breakfast all locally sourced along with some home made goodies. Thanks a lot!

There was a strange smell in the stairs / hallway but it didnt carry into the bedrooms.

Amazing owners, fabulous place, fantastic breakfast. Best place ever!

nothing could have been better

first time I could relate the phrase "a home far away from home" - we felt warmly welcomed, cosy and comfortable

Great hosts and hostdog Hosts were very helpful with maps of the island, including restaurant tips Nice breakfast Good location

Very sympathetic, friendly and with lot of helpfull information for the stay in Punta Delgada

The owner/manager is very friendly and took his time to tell me about every restaurant in town
