- "Really lovely apartment in a perfect location for exploring São Miguel! We especially enjoyed the tour of the pineapple greenhouses and learning about Azorean from Filipe, the excellent host." - "We had an amazing stay at Green &houses! Super comfortable bed, large bedroom with plenty of storage. Large bathroom with modern shower. Plenty of towels supplied. Body wash/shampoo included. Large separate living room area with very comfortable sofa. Adjoining kitchen space was well outfitted with fridge, microwave, electric kettle, coffee maker, pots and pans, dishes and cutlery. Host supplied a basket of fruit and cheese, fresh rolls and butter. Everything we could possibly need was covered. Filipe, was very helpful with suggestions of places to see and visit. He also gave us a tour of the pineapple greenhouses on the property. Only downside was motorbikes on the road at night, but we put on some background white noise on our phone to cover the noise. We live in the country, so normally we are used to silent overnight, but we had no problem once we set up the white noise. Property exceeded our expectations. We would definitely come back if we make it back to the Azores."
