Hotel do Colegio ****

Hotel do Colegio 4*

Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island, Azores

This traditional Azorean building was once a school. A former pupil (the current owner) beautifully restored the building and incorporated the college theme throughout the décor (hence the name “Colegio”). This hotel is in a good, central location and approximately 10 minutes walk to our boat base. Rooms are modern and come equipped with a minibar, air conditioning, TV, and private bathroom with hairdryer. The hotel has a good sized outdoor pool (not heated) located in the inner courtyard and there is free WIFI throughout. The hotel has a restaurant that serves a good buffet breakfast and signature cuisine, made from locally grown ingredients. There is free parking for guests in the hotel car park (for up to 8 cars on a first come first served basis). There is also on street parking  nearby for an extra fee. Guests can book double, twin and triple rooms and our solo guests are allocated double rooms for sole use.

It was a fabulous hotel and lived up to expectations in terms of interest, location, comfort and peace. – Richard Rose-Casemore May 2022

Casa Portuguesa

Boutique Hotel, Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island, Azores

Casa Portuguesa is a stunning property, newly refurbished and opened in January 2024. It was originally a very grand manor house in one of the most prestigious streets in Ponta Delgada. The restoration took many years and has retained a lot of the historical features as well as offering modern luxury and flair. The property is set in an elevated position in a quiet area  overlooking one of the classic Portuguese public garden and town hall.

Most rooms are doubles with private balcony areas. There is one family suite with 4 beds and a small kitchenette. A sumptuous breakfast is included as well as use of the hotel lounges.

There is a swimming pool in the gardens, a hot tub inside a glass house and outdoor terraces.

The boat base and harbour is a 10 minute walk through the old town.

Sao Miguel Park Hotel

Sao Miguel Park Hotel

Sao Miguel Park Hotel 4*

Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island, Azores

Our holidays on Sao Miguel Island all include 7 nights accommodation at the Sao Miguel Park Hotel ****  in the holiday price as standard (we also have a variety of other budget/upgrade accommodation options to choose from here)

We have personally chosen this beautiful 4-star hotel as our guest accommodation because of its excellent location and facilities. The location is a 15-minute walk to our base for the boats and the city’s beautiful botanical gardens are close by. The elevated position of the hotel means that the rooms are light, quiet and well-ventilated. Even though the hotel has great access to our boats, there are no busy roads nearby and the hotel is far away from the street noises familiar to seafront or busy city locations.

The hotel is ideal for families or large groups and rooms can easily accommodate up to two extra beds. Spacious rooms are sound proofed with air-conditioned and equipped with TV and fridge. There is the option to upgrade to sea/city view rooms (ask us for details). Adjacent rooms can be booked for families (note there are no interconnecting rooms at the Sao Miguel Park Hotel).

The hotel has a well equipped gym, indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, games room, bar, restaurant with sea views and free parking for guests. A good buffet breakfast is included. A buffet dinner is served from 19:00-21:30  every evening which costs approx 15 euros per person or 22 euros per person with unlimited wine & beer!  Room service is also available until 00:30 for soft meals.

Our prices are based on BB accommodation at the Sao Miguel Park Hotel **** in standard single/double/triple/quadruple ensuite rooms (no balcony). If you reserve a single room, this will be a twin/double for sole occupancy (there are no rooms with single beds at this hotel).

If you have booked large family rooms (triple/quad ensuite) these have a balcony with views across the town, mountains and with partial sea views. All rooms at the Sao Miguel Park Hotel have bathtubs except the adapted rooms. 

Standard twin/double room: These rooms offer a mountain view and some come with a balcony, accommodates up to 2 guests.

Standard plus king/twin room: These rooms are larger in size, all standard plus rooms include twin beds and offer a view overlooking the garden. All rooms come with a balcony, and accommodate up to 2 guests. 

Family rooms triple/quad: These rooms are very spacious and offer a garden view with a balcony. Accommodates up to 5 guests.

Superior rooms: These rooms offer a very spacious room and bed, with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. Accommodates up to 2 guests.

The hotel was spotlessly clean, room comfortable and spacious, great balcony so we could let in fresh air too. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was good. Good location. – Claire Walmsley-Moss April 2022

The Sao Miguel Park Hotel really suited our needs. The room was large, even with 4 of us, and we had views of bats from the balcony, which the kids thought was great…Breakfast was great though, a really good selection. We made use of the indoor pool and it was often just us in there, which was a bonus! – Sally Smart April 2022
