Solar da Glória ao Carmo

The Solar was very comfortable, a short walk to the beach and city center, and quiet. The hosts, Jose and Eduarda, were absolutely fantastic. The dinners that Eduarda prepared were superb, some of the best food I’ve ever had! Jose was very helpful in arranging drivers and tours, and personalizing your experience. Breakfast in the morning was great as well. Our room was large and clean, and beds were comfortable. The small sitting atrium off our room was a nice touch as well. I would absolutely stay here again, and I cannot say enough good things about this property and Jose, Eduarda, and the staff. They even packed us a picnic lunch when we went hiking! They had great local recommendations and helped with making reservations. Excellent all around.

Large , unique , clean room . We were very comfortable and found it hard to leave ! Jose is wonderful , he has great recommendations to make your stay an absolute blast

Our hosts were wonderful, kind, and very accommodating. They went out of their way to help us plan a great time on Saõ Miguel, with travel advice and booking reservations for us. The room was great; the historic building was very special; and the breakfasts were phenomenal (with different treats every day). The best day of our entire trip was the cooking class and dinner hosted here. The class was fun, the food and wine was amazing, and the connection and camaraderie we had with our hosts and the other guests made the trip unforgettable. We're so glad we stayed here!

Breakfast was excellent. Nice variety of options available. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A short and scenic walk to restaurants on the beach. Beautifully remodeled building which maintained a lot of the historic character.

A little outside the city center so less options nearby. While parking is plentiful in the area, the street is a bit tight right in front. It probably adds to the charm in the end but takes a little to get bags in and out.

The staff were absolutely fantastic, gave us great recommendations and made lots of bookings for us. We really felt the personal touch. Breakfast was excellent and the one supper we had was delicious. Overall a brilliant stay.

The location is slightly out of town however we enjoyed a waterfront walk into Ponta Delgada and we had a hire car.
