These fully furnished apartments usually have a balcony where you can spend the balmy summer evenings and enjoy a BBQ with friends and family.
So, no matter your taste, preference, or the number of people in your party, there is definitely a private apartment for you.
Villas
It is like a home away from home, it will have all the privacy and facilities you’re used to at your own home (or it will at least come close). These villas also often have a pool.
A villa allows for regular cooking and cozy evenings with comfortable relaxation.
This is a great option for families as it can be easier to manage a family in a complete, normal house, as opposed to spread across different hotel rooms.

These houses have everything you need for a wonderful vacation. From a fully furnished cuisine to a private pool and an outdoor area where you can enjoy time with family and friends.
Why should you choose to stay in an Airbnb in São Miguel
Accommodation is always a huge consideration when traveling and in recent times this often comes to the Airbnb vs hotel debate.
This is no different in São Miguel with a variety of Airbnb options available.
There are a number of aspects to consider when looking at potential Airbnbs.
More privacy
Staying in an Airbnb often provides more privacy than a traditional hotel as Airbnb accommodation is usually separate.
This also allows for more freedom as there aren’t as many strict rules regarding house-cleaning and the like.
Rather, there are usually simple common courtesy guidelines.
This freedom also extends to having a full kitchen and separate rooms, making Airbnb a great choice for longer stays.
More unique and authentic experience
While hotels are fairly similar in most parts of the world, Airbnb can differ hugely by location.
This can provide a more unique and authentic experience of staying in a new place.
This can also allow for meeting local residents and learning local customs and recommendations.
This integration is helpful in bridging the gap between being a tourist and understanding the area, people, and culture better.
Often better value than a hotel especially when you are traveling as a family
When it comes to price, Airbnb can often work out as better value than a hotel, especially considering all the benefits that come with it.
If you are traveling as a family or in a group, it can also be significantly cheaper than a hotel.
Conclusion
There is much to see and explore in São Miguel. This unforgettable island is full of nature and amazing scenery.
No matter which Airbnb in São Miguel Azores you choose, you are sure to have a wonderful trip!
