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.

Lovely house

The house is in a wonderful location, has all the amenities, and is extremely clean. The only negative is the outdoor security lights light up two of the bedrooms at night and the curtain system is old and ineffective at keeping out the bright light.

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.

Great location beautiful spacious home

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.

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.

Disappointing house.

We booked this house because on the advertise it said that it had air conditioned and we knew of the heat and humidity of the island. But this is not true! 4 of the 5 bed rooms do not have air conditioned. And the one that had, did not work. there were one on the living room that did not work either. We spoke to the owner on the someday but he did not presented any solution. No Discount was made after this hoax. There were some other small issues, but the air conditioned was really bad and serious, we had 7 nights all of them very bad sleeped because of the heat and humidity. And we had 2 small children and it was even worst for them. This should not be allowed by the site of Homeaway, to have an owner advertising something that it does not exist on the house.

Dear Pedro We always try to make our guests feel welcome and we do take seriously every comment or suggestion made. In this case I can only confirm the house description on Homeaway is accurate. We know we can always learn to improve ourselves. I'm sure we all have learned something. We regret the exceptionable weather conditions during you stay and for not being possible to repair the ac in due time. Pedro Tomé

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.

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.
