Casas do Frade
About
Casas do Frade - Casa da Figueira (TER/CC), on São Miguel (Azores), sits at R. do Triatro 11 13/15, 9630-153 Lomba da Fazenda, Portugal. First-time visitors should expect a quiet guest house in a rural parish on the island's northern side, well away from the busier southern resort strip. The setting is residential and unhurried rather than a tourist-facing complex.
Guests have scored Casas do Frade - Casa da Figueira (TER/CC) 4.5 out of 5 across 43 reviews, a record that reflects steady satisfaction among its clientele. The guest house sits in Lomba da Fazenda, near Nordeste at the island's north-eastern end. Ponta Delgada, Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação are the nearby places that frame a stay here. Reaching the guest house from the main towns is straightforward, since Nordeste sits within the island's road network and the surrounding routes link it to the wider region.
Its website, http://www.casasdofrade.com/, provides further reference for the guest house. Lomba da Fazenda anchors the property in the north-eastern part of São Miguel rather than on the southern coast.
The islands are served by direct flights from Lisbon, Porto and other European cities, and smaller aircraft link islands within a group, so arrival is straightforward. Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope are part of the island calendar. Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words, so a few local phrases help with routine exchanges.
