About this property

Consul's Residence. Excellent location. Central but secluded. Modern and trendy

Designed by a Brazilian architect, displays a unique light repleted character.
The house is located at the historic Ponta Delgada´s downtown.
It was once the temporary USA consul's official residence. Later on it was leased for 14 years to the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Mass was held at the house living room, the altar was at its southeast corner.
The house was purchased and totally refurbished by the current owners in 2000 and has been assigned to short term rentals after 2016.
You will find a modern, spacious, all room and living room newly climatized home. The house is perfect for families with a surrounding luxurious garden featuring a tall maidenhair tree and has a new fully equipped outdoor grill since 2019.
From the top floor balcony you can enjoy the view over downtown Ponta Delgada and the Atlantic Ocean.
The house drive way takes on up to 3 cars. Downtown, Mall (with supermarket and pharmacy) and two botanical gardens all within a ten minute walk range.

We are a government licensed holiday home.

Great for groups!
We loved our stay! The property is very large so there is lots of room to be together or get some needed space from family (or any large group) if needed. Location was perfect, very quiet and a 10 minute or less walk into the heart of downtown. Although we were there in the winter, the yard and outdoor kitchen are beautiful and a huge perk. Would recommend to anyone and was a great jumping off point for all of our adventures in Sao Miguel for the week.

We will be back! Can’t imagine a better place!
This was an awesome house and an ideal location for us. A short walk down the hill and we were in the middle of everything! The outdoor kitchen was super cool and perfect for hosting a private chef. The outdoor area was fun and provided a great spot for pictures- we had a local photographer come and take them. We only needed 4 bedrooms but my daughter loved having the spare as a dressing room! She felt Simms I special!! The process of checking in and out was simple and appreciated. Thanks for an amazing space ti stay in the Azores.

Ideally located just blocks from the action, convenient to mini bus route (across street), this property is perfect for your next vacation. Plenty of rooms to spread out and get some downtime while also featuring great shared spaces. From the outdoor kitchen to the front patio, this was a truly lovely place to stay. Clean, everything worked, thoughtful communication and recommendations from the owners. Stop searching and book now😊

Clean, spacious accommodations in the heart of Ponta Delgada
We stayed at Consul's residence during a one week visit to Ponta Delgada in February. There were ten of us in total (including 6 young children). The house was extremely spacious - with enough beds and bathrooms for everyone. Everything was very clean and the linens were of excellent quality. The backyard has lots of space for kids to run around. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you would need. Pedro was very accommodating and helpful. We asked if we could shift some things around to child-proof the house, and he was very encouraging. He also brought us beach towels that we could bring to the thermal springs and allowed us to stay later on our final day so we could enjoy the city before our flight left in the afternoon. The location is extremely convenient. Walkable to a large supermarket, playground and gardens (which our kids loved exploring), as well as to restaurants and cafes downtown. We jogged along the boardwalk every morning and had coffee and gelatos at cute little cafes around the beautiful cobblestoned city. We visited many sights around the island, which were all less than an hour's drive away. We had a fabulous time exploring the island and it was so nice to come home to Consul's residence every evening.

All you could want or need
We were a group of 7 adults who had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful house for our time on Sao Miguel. The house is centrally located to everything you could want. It’s very large and comfortable with every amenity at your finger tips. The owner is always very quick to reply to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend this home, you won’t be disappointed

A great house highly recommended
The house is very specious and in a perfect location (quite area with 5 min walk to the mall and 10 min walk to all the restaurants). The kitchen is big and equipped with everything you need. the outside BBQ and dining area is a big plus. We were 2 families sharing the house and had lots of space and privacy. The communication with the host was easy and he provided all the support we needed. Overall it was an amazing place to stay and very much recommended.

The house is so beautiful, and clean,and so well equipped with everything we need. It satisfied needs of 8 very different people in our group. 9 days wasn’t enough to enjoy everything it had to offer. And location could not be more convenient. Walking to the waterfront, delicious market, restaurants. Can’t wait to comeback

Pedro and Cristina are very hospitable and friendly hosts. Always ready and willing to assist with every need. The house is beautiful and spacious. Perfect for a large family with plenty of room to gather together. The outside kitchen is fully equipped including a BBQ for grilling. Great place for spending the evening, unwinding from the days activities. The private garden is large and perfect for the children to play. Location is ideal, walking distance to all amenities. Leave your vehicle parked in the driveway and walk the city enjoying shopping and restaurants.

Ponta Delgada's finest
We just had the pleasure of spending a week at Consul's Residence in Ponta Delgada, and it is everything you see and so much more. The house is beautiful and has every amenity you can imagine, and the outside BBQ and sitting area is beautiful, and only minutes away from the downtown. Beautifully decorated and very quiet! Pedro and his wife were very responsive and were very quick to respond to any questions. We will be heading back to Ponta Delgada again and would definitely stay at the beautiful Consul's Residence again. Thanks D

Great stay!
We were welcomed by our hospitable and service-minded host Pedro who showed us around the house. And what a house it was. Large spacious rooms beautiful decorated, nice furniture, comfy beds and every amenity you think you need (and some more). A lot of space to socialize, both inside the house, on the balcony or in the garden room which was equipped with an outdoor kitchen and barbeque. We had high expectations on the house and they were exceeded! The location of the house is great with a large shopping mall close by and a just short walk to the city centre and the harbour. We were 7 persons and you could easily be 10 without a problem in this house. We had a wonderful stay and can really recommend the Consul’s residence!

Walkable to all the restaurants and huge space!
This is a beautiful, magical space with a very responsive owner. Five of us visited and did an equal amount of cooking and waking to the local restaurants. The location is very close to the airport and the perfect central spot for visiting the island. The outdoor kitchen is amazing for grilling and playing card games on the large outdoor table. The local large grocery storere is right up the street and the restaurants are right down the street by the water. We could easily walk or drive since it had a convenient driveway. The fancy European cooktop was a little difficult to figure out and could use a more detailed description.

Beautiful Home, Great Amenities and Location
We initially booked this home because of the size as we were a large party but the house itself was wonderful. The home offers air conditioning which during august was a huge perk, beautiful furniture, great views from the upstairs balcony and a lot of modern amenities such as a washer/dryer and dishwasher. The kitchen also had everything we could possibly need and we made breakfast every day and dinner a lot of the time. An outdoor kitchen/grill was also recently put in which we used at least 3 times and we were able to easily and quickly purchase charcoal from the shop up the street. The house location is very convenient and centrally located and the hotel next door provides an easy landmark and we never had any issues with noise, etc. We were able to access the Parque Atlantico which has a supermarket very quickly as well as all the shops and waterfront with a short walk. The fenced in yard provided space for the children in our group to safely play and the adults enjoyed the shaded front porch. We would definitley stay here again.

This home was perfect!
For the nightly price of one upscale hotel room, you can instead rent this beautiful, 5 bedroom home in the heart of Ponta Delgada. This was our first trip to the Azores. We had 4 adults (one couple, two singles) stay here for 6 nights and we had no complaints. Coming home to this place at the end of a long day exploring Sao Miguel was a welcome respite. It’s clean. It’s roomy. It’s comfortable. It feels luxurious. It’s VERY safe and secure. Even though you’re close to center of town, the house is up and back off of the street (reducing typical city noise). Close the windows at night, turn on the a/c or fan, and you’ll hardly hear a thing. It’s a short walk to the old town center, and a short walk the other direction to the mall and supermarket. There’s a well known hotel right next door that is a convenient place to have taxis drop you off or pick you up. We never felt unsafe in Ponta Delgada, but you have nothing to worry about in this house. It’s a fortress once you lock it up, but still feels light and open. There’s plenty of room inside and out, with a large, open floor plan on the first floor, and then multiple outdoor areas and a large yard walled off from the street. We greatly enjoyed sitting on the verandas drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening, looking out over the city. The kitchen is fully equipped and we used it a lot. We stocked up at the grocery store the first day, and also brought cheeses, breads, wines, etc. back from our tours around the island and easily stored it all. Quick meals and snacks were a breeze. We had a tour guide for a few days. She’s lived on Sao Miguel for over 20 years, and she was incredibly impressed with this property. We were so glad we chose this property for our first trip to the Azores. I would have no hesitation renting this house again if/when we return to Ponta Delgada.

I highly recommend this property stayed in August 2017 within walking distance to the waterfront area very quiet and private and can't say enough about how well organized and clean it was and the fact that it has air conditioning which is rare on the island was very much appreciated. The owners were very accommodating and easy to contact you will not be disappointed. Don't pass this one up .

BONITA Y CóMODA CASA EN CENTRO DE PONTADELGADA
Hemos compartido un grupo de ocho amigos una estancia de 10 dias en la Casa del Consul de Ponta Delgada ( Azores). La casa , a aparte de ser muy bonita, es muy amplia, y dispone de todos los servicios. Nos hemos sentido muy cómodos en ella. Es de destacar también su ubicación, a tres minutos andando de las partes mas antiguas y bellas del centro histórico de la ciudad. Los propietarios nos han proporcionado todo tipo de atenciones , a parte de un servicio de limpieza general en mitad de nuestra instancia. Sin duda intentaremos repetir viaje a las islas , y desde luego lo intentaremos en esta casa. Antonio Montenegro.
