Volcanic Charming House

My wife and I stayed at the Volcanic Charming House for 8 nights, everything was fantastic. To start, our flight was cancelled from Sao Jorge and we were booked on a much later flight landing on Sao Miguel at 12: 50 AM. We messaged the Volcanic Charming House about this, they said; “no problem, we will have someone meet you to check you in when you get there (2:00 AM)”. Our room was very clean and elegantly arranged. The common areas have been designed with every detail thought out carefully. The breakfast buffet was excellent with lots of fresh fruit. Staff friendly and helpful. We give the Volcanic Charming House our highest recommendation.

The Volcanic Charming House is simply the best small hotel I've ever stayed at. Good location on the island. We were able to mostly walk to restaurants and stores and to the beach. The property is clean and kept up beautifully inside and outside. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful with any and all questions we had. The breakfast was awesome every day! I would highly recommend staying at the Volcanic Charming House.

Our group of 9 stayed at this lovely boutique accommodations. The hotels support team arraigned help with transportation, tips on tours, someone to prepare dinner for our group, and we were connected with expert tour guides who helped us maximize out trip (all at very affordable prices). The rooms are warm, welcoming, comfortable beds, fluffy towels, soft lighting with modern amenities. The food is delicious, many healthy choices, and always bountiful. I would return in an instance. We are leaving with many happy memories of our stay at this sweet hotel. Thank you Volcanic Charming House staff for all your support and kindness.❤️

We stayed here for a few days, and it surpassed my expectations. First, we were welcomed by the reception which was very helpful in every way (guidance on the island, weather, etc.). Next, the house and garden are both beautiful. Also, the place of the house on the island is perfect to visit any part of the island. We loved our stay here!

My niece and I stayed in the separate house in the back of the Volcanic Charming House property in Ribiera Grande on Sao Miguel -- it's a lovely little 2 bedroom place with kitchen facilities and a shared bathroom. It is not for everybody as the front of the house is basically 2 enormous picture windows, so if you like to walk around in light or no clothing, it's not the place for you -- but it was absolutely perfect for us (the property provides robes so you can wear those). The service is exceptional, the level of hosting is fantastic. Daniel, Alder (I am not spelling this right), et al were so helpful, thoughtful and considerate. They really made the stay special, helping with concierge type services (getting us a pickup to get a car as we came in late and could not secure a rental car at the airport when we arrived) and recommendations. We were thrilled with our space and the level of professional but kind service received at Volcanic Charming House. Would stay again without any qualm whatsoever.

Wonderful stay! We were here for a week and had an amazing time. Clean and comfortable rooms ((we booked the entire house) , fantastic breakfasts , great location. We walked everywhere and had super recommendations and bookings for scuba diving, meals, local shopping and numerous island tours. This was a superb vacation! I hope to bring our family back next year for a reunion and would happily book 2 houses as they have several properties. Thank you for a wonderful break!

Loved this place. The concept is like a boutique hostel with a shared living space and kitchen but very nice, large, private rooms. Everywhere we went was always spotless while we were there. It’s well located within a 10 minute walk of the main touristic areas of Ribeira Grande. Plenty of parking available. The pool and the bar area are nice although we didn’t use them much as we were out and about. We found it was a great place to base ourselves to explore the whole island as it’s pretty central and easy to get to and from. They provide towels for the beach and also different towels to use at the hot springs.

Endroit agréable, propre, et en très bon état. Mais : - Les chambres donnant sur la rue sont très bruyantes - pas de rangement dans la chambre - pas de coffre-fort dans la chambre - pas de service de repas (ca pourrait être pratique) - compliqué pour boire un verre, un apéro en soirée, car il faut courir après le serveur. - Remplacement des produits sanitaires pas systématiques, nous avons dû en demander régulièrement. - odeur dans la chambre 6 parfois désagréable.

Een eerste indruk maak je maar één keer. Een heel prettig welkom en heel behulpzaam met alles. Rondleiding door het gebouw en overige faciliteiten. Helaas is er geen lift aanwezig waardoor bagage mogelijk een probleem zou kunnen zijn. Niets is minder waar beide koffers netjes naar boven gebracht en bij vertrek zelfs vroeger begonnen om onze koffers weer naar beneden te dragen; super service! De kamer is voortreffelijk, licht, ruim met airco. Fantastisch uitzicht over de baai. Elke dag zijn onze handdoeken verschoond; Tip misschien de gast vragen deze op de grond elders neer te leggen als men schone wil hebben. Zeer goed en ruim gesorteerd ontbijt bij het zwembad; mooie ambiance. Wanneer men vroeger wil ontbijten is dit geen probleem. Ruime parkeerplaats en centrum op loopafstand.
