Hôtel très calme et charmant.

A truly charming house

Initially the name of the place raised some concern. However, entry into the house reveals this is no ordinary hotel. It is exquisitely designed, with spectacular spaces, a marvelous pool and great staff. So, I give high marks for what is truly a charming house.

The house was amazing! We had a week here and everything was great, we travelled without a car and the reception staff were very helpful in suggesting a reliable taxi and tips for where to go. We really enjoyed the heated pool after walking the trails! And breakfast was delicious. Everything at Volcanic Charming House was perfect

The property is lovely with equally lovely staff. Breakfast buffet was filling and great for starting the day. We loved that it was less busy than Ponta Delgado. Will stay again!

Man kann neben seinem Zimmer auch die komplette Anlage benutzen. Zum Beispiel: Küche, Wohnzimmer, Essbereich, Garten, Pool (24/7). Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war grandios. Es gibt eine Bar am Pool und man kann Kleinigkeiten wie Wein in der Unterkunft kaufen. In der Nähe ist ein Supermarkt. Man hat private Parkplätze vor dem Haus.

Jessica, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel with a very comfortable bedroom. The bathroom was not in proportion to the rest of the hotel, it was very basic (no place to put toiletries, no hangers, horrible white light and an uncomfortable shower cabin) The garden and the breakfast were excellent .
Bram, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic house with an oasis of a garden with pool. Great spacious accommodation and staff who go the extra mile to be helpful with advice and assistance with booking trips, restaurants etc. Great buffet breakfasts and easy parking. Probably the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in!

Such a beautiful space, and the staff were all extremely pleasant, kind and accommodating. We got a great tour of the property upon arrival and a wonderful and detailed explanation of suggested activities on the island, points if interest and personal recommendations. The breakfast had a great selection each morning as well. Felt like home away from home! Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!

Beata Ursula, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a great stay and beautiful property. It is walkable to the town but a bit longer of a walk - still a great location. The room updates and whole feel are so lovely. The view was fantastic as we had a ocean view. Breakfast was yummy. The pool was a bit too cold for me during June but i saw some enjoying it. The advertisement stated that there is reception 9am to 9am but noticed there was often the “we will be right back” sign up often so keep that in mind.
