About

Recanto, on São Miguel (Azores), sits at 2nd Ring Road, São Miguel Island, 9500-353 Ponta Delgada, Portugal. The island's main town, Ponta Delgada, is the setting, with Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação all on São Miguel.

First-time visitors can expect a base in Ponta Delgada with its own website at http://www.azoreseasyrent.com/ carrying the details. The 4.7 out of 5 average across 389 reviews reflects a following built steadily rather than in a single season, and that volume of feedback points to a place that has been used and reviewed by a large number of people.

Getting to São Miguel means flying into Ponta Delgada, and from there the island's roads reach Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação. Ferries link islands within the same group, which matters for anyone planning to move between the Azores rather than stay on one.

Whaling was an important island industry until the 1980s, and its boats and lookout posts are kept in island museums. Limpets, tuna, grilled fish and caldeirada fish stews are common, and most islands make their own cheese.
