"The place is beautiful, in a great location, private and secluded, with nice amenities such as hot tubs, pool, wood BBQ. It looks just like the pictures and overall, we enjoyed our stay. But, - very limited hot water. Takes long to warm up and then only lasts 5 minutes. Not enough for 2 showers. We could only fill the amazing bath up a few inches before it got cold, so kind of useless. - lots of ants, and when we complained, we were told to deal with it ourselves - there was a birds nest...

Top São João Hotel Reviews

Casa d'Avó Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"The location is fantastic, right on the oceanfront and a perfect base for exploring the island. The property is spotless, well-maintained, and has a wonderful atmosphere. There’s a shared kitchen with large, dedicated storage cabinets for each room, and it's fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The service was impeccable—Paula and Diana were always accessible, welcoming, and spoke excellent English. They went above and beyond to provide everything we needed with genuine generosity. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Caravelas

10/10 Excellent

"Location next to ferry is perfect, rooms clean great breakfast. 100%"

Vinhas do Calhau

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property! Ana was great!"

Internacional Azores Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean shared dorm room. Bit hot at night but OK with the windows open and AC was also working. Very central location - especially great if you’re diving. Also a large parking lot a few minutes away if you’re driving. Would recommend again"

Hotel do Canal

10/10 Excellent

"5/5"

The Book Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Every single staff member was warm and welcoming. The hotel is well-maintained and the room was very clean. The Japanese toilet in the room was a nice amenity, and toiletries were also available on the bathroom counter. The bed was comfortable and I like the different lighting options you can use. The pool was my favorite feature of the hotel. It's on the roof where you can also access the spa. The pool and hot tub are connected so you can easily switch from one to the other. It's a small, shallow pool, so there is no diving and not much room to swim - all you can pretty much do is just float in the pool, which is really all you need. The hotel is a block away from a park/garden and a couple of blocks away from the marina. Everything is walkable. The front desk staff were very helpful. They gave me great suggestions for restaurants, shopping, and even helped me reserve a taxi tour of the island. I will definitely be staying here again."

Casa do Zé - AL

10/10 Excellent

"C’est la dernière maison au bout du chemin. La terrasse sur la photo est en haut à gauche sur le chemin de pierre , non annexée à la maison. La vue est incroyable."

Azoris Faial Garden

10/10 Excellent

"everything works, staff helpful and polite. Excellent views, short walk to marina area, pool excellent."

Azores Youth Hostels - Pico

10/10 Excellent

"The hostel is such a lovely place, very good located and the staff was really helpful, wherever you need they are always there to help you. Very nice and peaceful place. 100% recommended. The unic thing that I missed was a kitchen so you can cook your own food. But there are very nice local restaurants beside the hostel."
