Our stay was amazing, the staff were super helpful. The kitchen was great, the stove had two burners and there was plenty of plates, pans, and cutlery for two people. The parking was a little bit of a hassle as there was not really any street parking but the staff directed us to where there was free parking.

To manage some dietary restrictions, we wanted a hotel with some meal preparation facilities. We chose the Casa Do Contador and we could not have been more please. Prior to arrival we contacted them for some information. Their responses were almost immediate. Upon arrival, we found it to be a small but very charming hotel built upon a former elementary school. Tomas checked us in, carried out luggage to our 3rd floor room, and showed us all the facilities in the room.
For a very reasonable price we had a full suite. It included a large bedroom plus a second room with a couch and a full kitchenette. The kitchen had a induction stove top, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, and kettle plus all the pots and pans and dishes one would need. It was all we need to prepare small meals. The daily continental breakfast was fantastic. Two baskets of bread, butter, jam, eggs, fruit, vegetables, yoghurt, pastries, juice, milk. Slight variations were made each day to make it more delightful. It often provided us enough for small snacks to take on outings. The TV service was extensive with multiple language services.
The lobby had 24/7 coffee service. Behind the hotel was a small garden, pool, and rest area. It was a delightful spot to spend a sunny afternoon.
Tomas also provided useful recommendations on car rentals, parking, and local shopping and services. The only negative was the rather steep stairs to get to the upper levels but that was a small price to pay.

Casa do Contador had character, beauty, AND comfort. The breakfast especially was a fantastic experience, delivered to our room each day in a traditional wicker basket. We've never experienced anything like it! The staff were friendly and helpful, and recommended a really great tour to the east of San Miguel Island. The bed was comfortable, the kitchenette had everything we needed ... No notes! We'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Cozy hotel. Our room smelled a little musty and walls were thin could hear everything upstairs even other guests were moving furniture early am and would wake us up.
Breakfast basket was cute, but it was the same thing every day. Front desk was welcoming.
On our last day there were 2 girls in the back yard courters taking bikini photos with a whole tripod setup, which made it awkward for myself and child to hang out back there.

A nice spot in PDL

The team at the hotel was extremely proactive in their communication (reaching out via WhatsApp 1 week before with entry codes) and very kind during the stay. They are only on aite from 9-5 so that is something people should be aware of. We stayed in the family unit with 2 bedrooms which is a semi-basement so it definitely had a smell of musk but extremely clean. The beds were comfortable. I wish the upstairs room had its own bathroom or even a sink/garbage pail but it was workable for sure. The pool area is very small but well maintained. My main recommendation would be to add a nespresso machine to the units because everyone going outside to the main machine is not very practical in the morning. Great location to walk around!

Minha casa e a sua casa

We liked the Casa da Contador very much. It’s an old school - an amazing building. We had a T1 suite which had a door separating a generous sized bed and bath from the kitchen/dining sofa room. Good sized closet. I am rating 4 stars due to a tiny bathroom that was difficult to maneuver and it being 41/2 flights up to the 2nd floor. Parking is easy enough to not be an issue. Breakfast was okay and nice to have.

Excellent option in PD for a small apartment. Stayed here three times now. Staff friendly. Close to the city centre but quiet and clean.

This time we were sad that the resident cat was removed from the garden, it was friendly and made the place feel like home from home. The hot water supply could be a bit hotter. But overall it’s a great accommodation option with great people. And a really cute breakfast basket delivered each day.

We loved the neighbourhood; easy to walk to all main attractions of Ponta Delgada which is a very walkable and safe city.
Quiet at night eventhough bedroom window on the street. Great padaria (bakery) next door.
Loved the area around the plunge pool to relax and have a glass of wine.

We had an issue with the electricity (breaker kept jumping when we plugged in the kettle) but when we reported they were quick to respond.

Note there is no elevator.

We stayed here previously in a suite which was not available on this trip. We had a studio which was nice, but on top floor If I was even 5 years younger it would have been fine. Helpful with parking our rental. There is some free parking close by but it is by luck until 5 pm. Costs €4 to park over 24 hours, which isn’t bad. Lots of great restaurants close by.

No laundry facilities available

Overall a good stay, the breakfast basket was amazing and fresh every morning. Not the best area for parking but there is street parking you can find. We found a spot every day and never had to walk more than a block or two. The only issue I had was that the hotel listing on hotels.com clearly states there is laundry available and there is not. We even checked with the front desk. This caused a snafu in our packing and made us have to spend a half day of our vacation finding a laundry mat to wash our clothes. Other than that the property was great

This is truly a fantastic place to stay. Stayed her with wife & 2 teenagers in March 2024. Honestly, it would be a mistake not to stay here to fully enjoy the city. Location is perfect, in the downtown centre of ponta Delgada, great for walking anywhere. Parking of course can be tricky during business hours , if you're looking for free close parking, but didn't cause much concern - paid parking is still close by and really reasonable, compared to north American standards.

European style breakfast delivered to the door is great, with a good selection of fresh baked local breads, fruit, meat/cheese, yogurt, fresh juice & more, slightly different daily.

Just wish there was a coffee machine in the room, rather than instant coffee and a kettle, but the espresso machine in the lobby is close by.

Super helpful staff, Leticia at front desk is awesome, and even the resident cat in the garden treats everyone like they're his favourite person in the world. Pretty sure the cat's on the payroll.

Thanks to everyone, we'll be back.

We booked one of the smaller suites and it was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our time here. The balcony overlooked the courtyard in the back, and the kitchen had pretty much everything you would need to cook a basic meal. Most units appear to require stairs to access. There are also cats that live on site, and in our unit they were able to jump onto the balcony (we enjoyed this).

In the mornings, an excellent breakfast basket was delivered to our door (bread, fruits, eggs, yogurt, milk, juice, granola, etc). In addition, there was a good espresso maker in the lobby.

The place is walking distance from downtown locations - perhaps 10-15 minutes from the water front.

Parking is a bit of a challenge, although the hotel provided a map of the surrounding streets where there was free and paid parking available. Finding a space may require some driving around, although we found spots were easier to come by in the evenings. If using a paid spot, it is possible to feed the meter after hours and have the payment carry over until the morning.

We had a slight issue on our last day where the next days guests were able to enter our room prior to us checking out (apparently they had the same code and figured they would check if the room might be ready early). This may be an area for improvement (perhaps cycle room door codes?).

Otherwise a fantastic stay and would highly recommend.

There is no lift and we were in unit 6 which was on the 3rd (top) floor. Keep in mind, each floor has 10 foot ceilings. So I had to carry 250 lbs. of luggage up and down 45 stairs. These aren't all modern stairs. Some are super steep and also taller steps than usual. not something for the faint of heart to be sure. There's only one little bar/cafe in the area, otherwise you have to walk about a half mile to get to any restaurants. The room was clean and it was nice but the views were less than ideal. If you're on a budget and don't mind humping your luggage up and down stairs, it would be a good place but it was not really what we were looking for.

Thank you for a lovely stay

What a lovely stay! Staff were super welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is delivered to your door every morning in the form of a huge wicker basket full of fresh and pickled goodies that makes you feel real homey. On New Year's Eve they unexpectedly added a bottle of local fizzy wine. Room was clean and well maintained, with enough space for clothes, a spacious shower, comfy bed. Location is perfect - quiet street 10 minute walk from downtown and all its restaurants, several botanical gradens, and a major mall. There's an all-night bakery next door that has fresh bread and buns if you get peckish. All in all, this might well have been the nicest, most welcoming hotel stay I've had on my various travels - which was exactly what I needed in a trip where my luggage was mislaid by my Canadian airline and only delivered on my 4th day there.
