Great Stay on Sao Jorge

This was a fantastic place to stay. Very conveniently located very close to the airport, but you won't hear much going on as it's a very small airport. This is a historic house and there's a lot to look at! The rooms are great and very comfortable. The breakfast service was great. We really enjoyed our stay overall. I'd happily recommend this place to anyone looking to stay on Sao Jorge and would stay here again next time we're here.

Host was incredibly friendly and gracious. We Loved this property. Breakfast was perfect! Freshly made to order eggs along with cheeses, meat bread etc. it was literally a two minute drive to the airport but we could not hear any planes coming and going. We enjoyed the pool very much! Highly Recommend

The stay at this property was awesome!! The historic property and structure are very unique and provide a wonderful stay. The interior and grounds are really beautiful and we feel lucky to have stayed here. The rooms have everything you need and are clean, quiet, safe and comfortable. Breakfast was really good, too. The owner and her concierge are extremely nice and helpful and I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Lady Grace und das gesamt Personal sind freundlich und herzlich. Die Zimmer waren geräumig und sauber. Die Unterkunft ist aus dem 17. Jahrhundert und zu Beginn gab es eine kleine Führung mit ein paar Fakten zum Haus. Frühstück war ebenfalls gut, mit selbst gebackenem Kuchen und Eiern von den Hühnern aus dem Garten. Vor dem Haus gab es genug Parkplätze. Die Nähe zum Flughafen stört nicht, da nur wenige Maschinen dort landen und starten.

Het hotel wordt met liefde gedreven. We voelden ons welkom en kregen een uitgebreide rondleiding waarin met trots werd over verleden en heden werd verteld. De kamers zijn schoon en comfortabel. Het ontbijt is uitmuntend met zelfgemaakte yoghurt, jam en cake. Lokale kazen, heerlijk brood en scrambled eggs maakten het compleet. Wij komen zeker terug
