My family has been coming to the islands for many years. This was our first visit to Sao Miguel and to Maria's B&B. She is a fantastic host and very helpful. Her home is very tastefully restored and good location to explore the eastern part of Sao Miguel. Our first night we were invited to join her for a large... More

There is no better place to stay at Sao Miguel than at Maria's! She says, that her house is your home at Sao Miguel, and it really is one! She is extremely nice, friendly person with a great knowledge about the island. Every day she advised us where to go (Dona Beja!:)), what to do and what is worth seeing-... More

You stay with her! What can I say? Maria is a self-made woman, free spirit, down to earth, intelligent, unassuming, and generous hostess. When we first arrived after a long flight and a longer drive at night from Ponta Delgada, all I wanted was a glass of wine. It's not a hotel, it's a B&B, and no bar. So what... More

From the moment you arrive to the very sad moment you depart, you will savour every magical moment at Casa De Deus, owned by the lovely, Maria de Deus. Never have we received such a warm and loving welcoming. Maria's home is heavenly - it is a loving restored historic residence with fabulous views, amazing gardens, sumptuous rooms. It is... More

This was our 6th trip to Sao Miguel and, at the risk of sounding redundant, BY FAR THE BEST.... mostly due to the hospitality of Maria deDeus and her "Staff -of-One" - Dina..!!! (alas, Alda, has moved on to other things, and we wish her well..!) Maria knows how to choose her Staff and goes out of her way to... More

My stay at “Casa Maria de Deus” was an adventure. The location is old world charm amidst beautifully furnished accommodations. The locals are very friendly and enjoy a good chat with visitors. Tony’s pub is 100 meters from the Inn and is open until you leave - no kidding. Tony is a great guy who spekes English well and knows... More

This was our 5th trip to Sao Miguel and BY FAR THE BEST.... mostly due to the hospitality of Maria deDeus and her "Staff -of-One" - Alda..!!! Maria goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and at home. The Room we stayed in was huge, with double bed and a single twin-size bed, huge windows from which... More

I also stayed at Casa Maria de Deus and the experience was terrific. The B&B is located in a small village and the inhabitants are warm and friendly people, the man who owned the restaurant across the street from the house even knew how to speak english. The setting is ideal for anybody who wants to relax. The onwer ,... More
