Alojamento Raminho dos Açores

“Wonderful and magical, this accommodation holds a very special place in my heart”

I only stayed two nights at Alojamento Raminho dos Açores, and even though the weather was bad, I enjoyed every minute. From the moment I arrived, it felt like home. After a quick check‑in in Portuguese and a bit of hand‑and‑foot communication, I entered the garden where I could see how much Paula and Antonio had invested in the place—paths, rabbits, flowers, a fountain—all creating a soothing atmosphere. The cottages were cozy, and the TV with many channels was a welcome comfort during the rain. Outside, two small chairs were perfect for enjoying the scenery when the weather cleared. The hosts were genuinely present and helpful, unlike some places where they say “we’re here for you” but don’t show up. They made me feel cared for. Don’t miss the dinner—Antonio is a talented chef who uses fresh local ingredients from the sea or land, and the homemade wine, though modestly described as “not experts,” was better than anything I’d had in Terceira restaurants. If you’re willing to slow down and soak in everything this beautiful place and its hosts offer, you’ll have a wonderful time. Enjoy the garden, eat great food, drink wine (more than one bottle if you can), cuddle Laika the dog, and you won’t regret it. I loved everything; thanks to Antonio, Paula, Laika, and the rabbits.

I liked it a lot. The place is simple, very clean and welcoming. Mr. Antonio and Mrs. Paula are extraordinarily friendly, always concerned and ready to help. The breakfast is good and the dinners are spectacular. I recommend it.

“Tolle Lage, Unterkunft einfach aber mit Familiencharme”

My hosts were very warm and helpful despite the language barrier. The facility itself is simple but somehow charming. It’s close to the best hikes, and the breakfast was nice, though I missed fresh fruit. I would have liked a personal fridge in the room, because the nearby restaurants were all closed during my travel dates and I had to drive to Angra for dinner. The bathrooms are quite small. I recommend the accommodation for sunny, warm days, but not during transitional seasons. The parking situation was chaotic. The private parking is a narrow courtyard entrance, so I always had to look for a spot on the street and hoped no one would mind. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t very good during my stay: the windows are not airtight, so it cooled quickly and it even rained inside. The heating kept shutting off on its own, making it hard to keep a constant room temperature. I later asked for a kettle for the room. I was disappointed to learn that the kitchen was not allowed to be used, while other guests could keep food in the fridge, which I didn’t know.
