São Mateus accommodation from AU$76

An overall nice experience for something different. Would stay again. Strengths: Well located with a nice view of Pico and the ocean. Well done appointed rooms with comfortable beds. Amenities such as laundry, drying racks, tea kettles, bikes, and common room. Fresh bread and local cheese were great. Store with many staples. Animals to pet and feed. Opportunities: Noise from nearby construction and operating business plus neighboring dogs was distracting. One egg each for included breakfast.

Tout était parfait : l’emplacement, les installations, le personnel, la chambre. Seul hic : il n’y a pas de chauffage, donc par temps frais (ce qui était notre cas en mai), la chambre est humide et un peu inconfortable. On nous a donné un édredon supplémentaire, mais ça ne changeait rien à l’air ambiant. Une petite chaufferette d’appoint aurait été appréciée.

The Blue House is wonderful. The owners live next door and do everything to make your stay memorable, it is easy to communicate with them. Great location, right near a new 5 mi walk along the ocean. Plenty of space for everyone, clean fully equipped kitchen with a patio outside. Great ocean views from windows and balcony on a second floor. Good parking. Check the address with the owners before going as Vrbo supplies wrong address.
