To manage some dietary restrictions, we wanted a hotel with some meal preparation facilities. We chose the Casa Do Contador and we could not have been more please. Prior to arrival we contacted them for some information. Their responses were almost immediate. Upon arrival, we found it to be a small but very charming hotel built upon a former elementary school. Tomas checked us in, carried out luggage to our 3rd floor room, and showed us all the facilities in the room. For a very reasonable price we had a full suite. It included a large bedroom plus a second room with a couch and a full kitchenette. The kitchen had a induction stove top, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, and kettle plus all the pots and pans and dishes one would need. It was all we need to prepare small meals. The daily continental breakfast was fantastic. Two baskets of bread, butter, jam, eggs, fruit, vegetables, yoghurt, pastries, juice, milk. Slight variations were made each day to make it more delightful. It often provided us enough for small snacks to take on outings. The TV service was extensive with multiple language services. The lobby had 24/7 coffee service. Behind the hotel was a small garden, pool, and rest area. It was a delightful spot to spend a sunny afternoon. Tomas also provided useful recommendations on car rentals, parking, and local shopping and services. The only negative was the rather steep stairs to get to the upper levels but that was a small price to pay. Across the street from the hotel was a fantastic bakery, and just down the street was a small pub offering sandwiches and other small meals. The walk to the city center is only 5-10 minutes. All the staff went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable, and that our needs were met. Over the past many years with multiple trips per year, this was one of the best hotels we have used. I enthusiastically recommend them and will gleefully come back to them on my next trip to San Miguel.

“Amazing place to stay. Feels like home but better!”

This place is amazing. Place was super clean and beds were comfortable. They made it feel like home. Location was great, close to everything. Their breakfast that they provided us was awesome. Everything was easy. I lost a personal item as well which they mailed to my house.

“Clean and modern. Unstaffed overnight”

Clean and modern place to stay. Check in was via keypad as I arrived around 930pm which I didn’t realise when I booked. Travelling solo I much prefer staff on site. Had I known this in advance - had I read all the reviews - I would have understood this; and most importantly would know that there … lisää

Clean and modern place to stay. Check in was via keypad as I arrived around 930pm which I didn’t realise when I booked. Travelling solo I much prefer staff on site. Had I known this in advance - had I read all the reviews - I would have understood this; and most importantly would know that there is a steep flight of stairs you need to climb with heavy luggage. I wouldn’t book again for this reason but if you have less luggage, you will be fine. There was a phone number provided if you have any issues and I used this service. The staff level of English and helpfulness was very good and helpful - thank you. The continental breakfast delivered to door was thoughtful. This mini apartment was in very good, clean condition but like other Azores hotels appears to be made for giants! Who can reach the top shelf for kettle and toaster without a stool? None provided so used a dining chair, not a safe way to do this! Suggest keeping these items on work surface instead where you can actually use them.
