La vue, le bruit des vagues, le personnel, les petits déjeuners avec un cadre exceptionnel, tout était génial. Nous avons passé les 3 meilleures nuits imaginables.

We recently stayed at A Villa by The Sea in Vila Franca do Campo, Sao Miguel, and it was amazing! The breakfast was fantastic, with a variety of fresh pastries to start our day. The views of the sea were absolutely stunning, and waking up to the sound of the waves was incredibly peaceful. The room is in the owner's house, so it's not completely isolated, but we felt welcomed. If you're looking for a beautiful retreat, we highly recommend A Villa by The Sea.

The location is AMAZING!! Absolutely stunning. We could see and hear the ocean from our bed. Lots of spaces to sit and relax and look over the sea. Also has access to a private beach area with tide pools. It is really a perfect location- private with exquisite views of the ocean. Lovely tanning deck and another covered deck with comfortable seating and tables to eat. Breakfast in the morning is also incredible. Homemade scones, jams and cakes. Fresh juice. It was really wonderful.

Nothing! Wish we could have stayed longer .

Beautiful location right on the ocean - you can even watch and hear the waves as you shower! Also very beautifully furnished, comfortable bed, great breakfast everyday including homemade scones, granola, and fruit.

The breakfast on the patio was our favorite part of the stay each day. Pedro and Rita were so helpful - we had to get a tire fixed on our rental car and they went above and beyond to help us figure that out.

This is a truly wonderful place! Lovely hosts, delicious breakfasts, and great location, right by the ocean. I couldn't wait to open the window curtains every morning just to enjoy that gorgeous view right from my bed. The homemade breakfast was great and with that breathtaking views of the sea from the terrace it tasted even better. I'm still dreaming about that warm homemade scones with pineapple jam! I would love to come back one day :)

The bathroom felt a little cramped but that's just a tiny nuisance which had no impact on us enjoying every minute of our stay at Villa by the Sea.

Villa by the sea" - even the title is misleading.

Caution, stingers!! "Villa by the sea" - even the title is misleading. In reality this is a house in which three rooms are rented. Two below, with large windows to the sea but extremely economical, and one adjacent to the landlord's room, which was apparently used as a children's room in the past, with a small window and a tiny balcony located above the roof of the balcony below. The photos on the website are also misleading. The above specification is not explained there at all. Instead, pictures of all the rooms are stacked in it so that the real conditions at the place are actually hidden. We arrived and were led to this children's room and it was neither a villa nor with the sea, an adjacent room by the landlords', with a miserable view, a tiny refrigerator that is a mini-bar for a fee, and a cramped room that you can only sleep in, and you have to go up to it by narrow stairs. We are not young people, or backpackers, and of course this was not what we expected for the costly price of housing in their place. Our protests were met with an impenetrable wall, and the response was routine and indifferent, so it seems that we were not the first to fall victim to this sting. We didn't stay there even half an hour, but Pedro Arruda, the landlord, agreed to refund us only with half of the amount minus the commission of booking.com. We finally got about a third of the payment returned to us. The sting was complete. As to our vacation, we moved to a beautiful suite with a breath taking view in a nearby resort in a nature reservation, Pestana Bahia Praia Nature and Beach Resort. We enjoyed every minute there, with spacious living room, amazing balcony, and it costed us less than the tiny viewless room in the Sting Villa.

Amazing views and the friendliest people working there. The breakfast was also amazing with freshly made scones and the dinner they offered on the balcony was an unforgettable experience with amazing seasonal food.

The location of Villa by the Sea is amazing. We would exit the room and have the ocean right in front of us. The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable, with a lot of light, it was surrounded by a garden where we could walk and look at the sea. The hosts were very helpful and polite and they also accommodated our (last minute) request to have an earlier breakfast. The breakfast included home-made choices (granola, jams) which were really nice.

The only thing that could be improved is the size of the bathroom which was quite small.

Everything was more than nice: delicious breakfast, epic view, clean and comfortable room and amazing staff.

Nothing really.

Great views, lovely staff, nice room, comfortable bed

nothing

Fantastic view and place with amazing hosts who made brilliant food!

- breakfas was excellent - location next to the sea (very private) - hosts were fantastic - room with sea view

Villa has great location and rooms look really nice. Owner was very helpful and breakfast was fantastic 👌

Everything was excellent

The setting is spectacular, perched above the Atlantic Ocean. The hosts are very welcoming and the location near an excellent restaurant (Atlantico) and a wonderful beach made it special.

Parking is a bit challenging, but that is the nature of street parking.

The view! so so beautiful. the most beautiful beach. the room was very comfortable and cozy. very close to the port and restaurants. Great value for money.

lots of stairs so it's hard to travel with heavy luggages

Breakfast was excellent. Property was beautiful

Nothing

Just simply amazing. Especially having the breakfast in the living room, that reminds something of Jules Verne.
