Thank you for considering one of AzoresHome properties for your holiday in São Miguel Island. This is a self catered property and we expect you to be independent, but if necessary, you can count on our support within our possibilities, to resolve any situation that may eventually arise. Note that the island's climate is very hot and humid, which encourages the appearance of some “undesirable guests” such as cockroaches, lizards and ants. Despite quarterly pest control, in a country house it is impossible to completely eliminate these pests that proliferate across the island. To minimize the entry of these animals, keep doors and windows closed at night as they roam and fly during the night. We locals are used to all this type of wild life but we understand that you are not, so, If you are not a fan of local wildlife this is not the place for you to choose. Leave a word if you have any questions. Have a great day! Selma Other things to note Ribeira Quente is known for its bay of warm waters (bury your feet in the sand when you're in the water and you'll feel the heat) and the advantage of being 5 min. das Furnas with its hot pools.
