The property is newly renovated, neat and well-equipped. My room is located on the second floor facing the beautiful garden of the blue government mansion. It is a two-bed room with a queen bed and two twin beds. There is a washer and dryer in my unit which is very convenient for us and the espresso machine is excellent. The host Bruno is very helpful. He advised us of the 24 hour free parking which is only two blocks away and a supermarket is near that parking area. He welcomed us with classic dessert, traditional cake, juice and water. The hotel is in a convenient location, a few minutes walk to the main gate, the castle, the gelato store, pharmacy et.al. Bruno also gave us a color printout of what to do and what to eat in Sao Miguel. The restaurants he recommended are much better than those we randomly picked.
