Cute place with each room or bungalow having its own entrance. It's on the side of a hill with Ramos and lots of stairs and no elevators so pack lightly or hire one of the friendly sherpa available. Rooms were a small apt with a good size bedroom, kitchen, and living room. Buffet breakfast had a lot of America stuff and the usual Subway ingredients Euro stuff. Excellent free parking.

Bon déjeuner endroit propre

I stayed at Hotel Solar do Conde and, unfortunately, the experience was not what I had hoped for. The biggest issue was the bed: the “double” was only 137 cm wide, which feels more like something from generations ago than a modern hotel standard. For a stay in 2025, it was surprisingly small and uncomfortable, especially for two adults. On a positive note, the buffet breakfast was quite nice, with a decent variety and good quality. However, a good breakfast doesn’t make up for a poor night’s sleep. Given the outdated room comfort, I cannot recommend this hotel. There are better options in the area that offer more modern amenities and a more comfortable stay.

Beautiful property, peaceful location, delicious breakfast!

Very clean and nice. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Quiet, accessible and vakye for money

Great location. Lots of amenities.

Extremely friendly staff. Very picturesque and relaxing.

It’s always hard to tell from photos but this place far exceeded my hopes. The property is large, sunny, well designed and landscaped. There are old buildings that blend seamlessly with the new. The breakfast area and pool are modern, airy and relaxing. We had a bungalow which had a spacious living/dining area with a kitchen. The bathroom was large, with a walk-in shower and bidet. The only negative things I can say are the pool is shallow! Don’t dive. And the dining room where we had dinner had horrible overhead bright lighting where candlelight would have been perfect. The staff could not have been more helpful.

The grounds are gorgeous! We unfortunately didn’t get to spend much time at the property itself, but it was clean and beautifully landscaped. Our room was clean and well stocked. Included a mini bar for a fee (as with any hotel). Water and some fruit were complimentary in our room when. We checked in. The only con would be that you had to pay for coffee if you used any (typically coffee is included at hotels).

Friendly staff always helpful. Having own private bungalow was nice. Really need a car as not easy to walk anywhere due to lack of pavements.

Very xlean big cabanas with living rooms and big bAthroom Very quiet Nice gardens Nice beach walk nearby

Beautiful room with amazing views of the mountains

We spent four nights. We had a beautiful, big cabin, with a master bedroom and a fireplace! It was wonderful. The grounds were lovely, and a delight to walk around, but a little bit unkempt. There is bit of a bug problem, but it is a subtropical climate, so that might be difficult to control.

Spacious suite of two bedrooms,living room,dinning area and kitchen. Very polite staff and helped us out to make arrangements for whale watching. Breakfast was included daily and was fine for us. Dinner is available and is a nice change if you do not want to drive very far after a long day of site seeing/hiking. It is in a quiet location of the island and is central to a lot of touring options.

Very nice stay at Solar do Conde. The staff is really helpful and very kind.

We booked this Hotel to make a change during a one week stay on the island. On arrival, we were shown down a dark alley to a damp, cold, sparsely furnished room where we couldn't even sit together. While the hotel staff did try to make amends, it had spoilt our short break. The half board was a joke. We were handed a full and delicious sounding menu until I mentioned we were half board, the menu was whisked away to be replaced with a grubby, tatty single sheet of paper with soup, two choices of mains and dessert. Both mains were cheap dishes and neither were liked at all by our two children. Do not recommend half board. It is not worth it!

Beautiful house with an old-style garden, excellent service, swimming pool, nice breakfast... everything was perfect. Strongly recommended!

Great hotel, highly recommended. I've stayed here multiple times.

Had a suite in a 17th century building. Beautiful old furniture with modern facilities. Great breakfast every morning. Something like staying in a castle in France, except that we paid very little for this accommodation. Take a bus from Ponta Delgada, or a taxi. 15-30 minute drive.
