You'll be in good hands here. The service and communication at this hotel is outstanding! They were very supportive and understanding towards us and problems we were facing during our trip. 100 out of 10! We will forward theire info to everyone who considers spending time on Sao Miguel

Localizado num sitio calmo e pitoresco, na Maia, este alojamento é perfeito para descansar depois de um dia a explorar a ilha. Incorporado no meio de São Miguel típico, longe dos aglomerados hoteleiros e com uma vista estonteante por entre Campos e mar.
O anfitrião, Rodolpho, é super simpático e recebe-nos como se estivéssemos em nossa casa.
Adoramos a nossa estadia ????

Admittedly, I knew very little about the Azores after making a decision to travel to Portugal this year but wanted to include at least an introductory visit to the islands.

The Azores consist of nine main islands, grouped into three distinct geographic regions: the Eastern Group (São Miguel and Santa Maria), the Central Group (Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico, and Faial), and the Western Group (Flores and Corvo). These islands are volcanic in origin and are known for their stunning natural landscapes, including lush green valleys, volcanic craters, and rugged coastlines. Visualize Ireland and Kauai’s love child.

We are staying in the parish village of Maia located on the island of São Miguel, which is part of the Eastern Group of the Azores. It is situated on the northern coast of São Miguel, which is one of the largest and most populous islands in the Azores.

The landscape around Maia is characterized by lush green farmland and hills, dramatic cliffs to the ocean, and the sound of the Atlantic Ocean.

Solar de Lalem is a beautiful rural historical gem located in the parish village of Maia. Azores, Portugal. Many people choose to stay there to experience the stunning natural landscapes, tranquil surroundings, and the unique charm of the Maia. It's a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful and picturesque retreat.

We were two couples travelling throughout the Azores. Our primary motivation for the trip was hiking and the area around Maia and this lovely old inn has fabulous hiking and scenery. We loved this place; it has great history dating back to the 17th century, the rooms are large and airy and comfortable. We had a wonderful view of Maia and out to the Atlantic from our room. The staff were wonderful, helpful and friendly. The manager Fabio was great fun and always helpful. We loved having an evening glass of wine on the patio outside of the lovely lounge area and the bar hostess, Inês, was so friendly and a great asset to the place. Breakfasts were included and very good, and we enjoyed each breakfast out on the patio. Maia is a small, lovely village set right on the Atlantic, and we found a couple of local restaurants that we could walk to that served amazing food, fish in particular, and which we returned to a couple of times. We even made friends with the servers in each place, and they treated us like royalty. This place is highly recommended!
