Man kann neben seinem Zimmer auch die komplette Anlage benutzen. Zum Beispiel: Küche, Wohnzimmer, Essbereich, Garten, Pool (24/7). Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war grandios. Es gibt eine Bar am Pool und man kann Kleinigkeiten wie Wein in der Unterkunft kaufen. In der Nähe ist ein Supermarkt. Man hat private Parkplätze vor dem Haus.

Very nice hotel with a very comfortable bedroom. The bathroom was not in proportion to the rest of the hotel, it was very basic (no place to put toiletries, no hangers, horrible white light and an uncomfortable shower cabin) The garden and the breakfast were excellent .

Bereits der Check-In hat uns irritiert. Der Mitarbeiter hat uns direkt ein Steakhouse empfohlen, zu dem wir unbedingt müssen. Danach gefragt, hatten wir nicht. Kam uns so vor, als würde er dafür Provision bekommen… Die „Suite“ ist ein ganz normales Zimmer. Das Bad nur durch eine Glaswand und Tür abgetrennt. Keine Privatsphäre. Der Zustand des Zimmers war nicht gut. Sowohl im Bad, als auch im Schlafbereich bröckelt der Putz von der Wand. Zudem hatten wir eine Ameisenstrasse quer durchs Zimmer. Das ganze Gebäude ist sehr hellhörig. Wenn der Nebenmann auf die Toilette geht, hört man alles. Das Frühstück bietet eine große Auswahl. Allerdings ist die Qualität ausbaufähig. Es war das erste Mal in 3 Wochen Azoren, wo es keinen frischgepressten Saft gab. Convenience überwiegt: Pancakes, Aufbackbrötchen, Mini-Gebäck usw. Das Rührei war auch grieselig, als wäre es aus Pulver. Lediglich das Obst, das Müsli und der Käse waren gut. Für unseren Geschmack auf Masse ausgelegt, nicht auf Qualität. Wir würden keine 18€ für dieses Buffet bezahlen. Was uns zudem geärgert hat, war das der Pool einen kompletten Nachmittag bis 19 Uhr wegen einer Feier gesperrt wurde. Keine Entschuldigung, keine Entschädigung. Nichts. Zudem haben die externen Gäste alle Parkplätze des Hotels blockiert, so dass wir andere Parkmöglichkeiten suchen mussten. Für uns ein Reinfall! Können wir definitiv nicht empfehlen. Es gibt günstigere und viel bessere Unterkünfte.

This is a wonderful place to stay! We arrived a little early but they were able to accommodate us. They gave us a tour and made us feel welcomed. The breakfast each morning was plentiful and delicious. The staff was attentive and helpful. Duarte helped us book a whale watch and warned us we needed to book the thermal spring baths ahead of time. The room was clean and comfortable. I liked being able to open the windows. We could hear the ocean surf when we didn't hear the neighborhood dogs barking. We were pleasantly surprised to have shared access to a balcony with chairs and a table. Watching the sunset with a bottle of wine we purchased from the hotel was a great way to end the day. They had a decent selection of wines to choose from. The heated outdoor pool was enjoyable and the grounds were well kept. It was super nice to have kitchen access with an assigned shelf in the fridge and a cabinet with plates and glasses to use. It was clean, modern and equipped with whatever utensils you needed to cook or reheat a meal. There were 2 grocery stores within walking distance. It was a short walk to town and the beach. Parking was off street and easy. The location was central for exploring Sao Miguel. We stayed a week and were very satisfied. We highly recommend the Volcanic Charming House!
