Absolutely beautiful, unique hotel and location. The breakfast was wonderful, with a bonus for enjoying this in the outdoor patio with a view of the garden. The receptionist/manager was able to make us feel comfortable and welcome right away. The room was nice, and it was great to have extra beach towels to use for our getaways. We also liked how we could easily walk to restaurants nearby and enjoy dinner. Great warm shower, and availability of hairdryer.

There was no wifi in the room. It would have been nice to have a slightly more spacious shower cabin, so the wet curtain wouldn’t stick to my legs.

I recently had an amazing time at Solar de Lalem! The historic estate transported me back to the 18th century, and I felt like I was part of the rich history of the island while staying in the villa. The lovely new Dutch couple managers made my stay even better with their warm hospitality, from offering fresh-baked croissants in the morning to always being nearby to give me tips on the island or recommend an Azorean wine to try. The nearby hiking trails in Maia are definitely worth a visit, offering stunning views of the coast and the black sand beach, which added to the overall experience. If you are considering a stay at Solar de Lalem, I highly recommend springing for the main house rooms if they are available. While the villa was lovely, the main house offers even more history and character, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I can't wait to return. Thank you, Solar de Lalem!

That I could not stay longer. Will be back for that sometime soon. There's so much to do on the island and I barely scratched the surface.

Very spacious, beautifully situated, the manager is wonderful and has a great knowledge about the place and the island. Comfortable bed, room has everything you need, breakfast was delicious 😋 Maia is a cool place to walk around and make sure you visit the nearby tobacco museum :)

Everything was perfect, highly recommended 😊

Wonderful location in a peaceful and idilliac place. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, especially Rodolfo our angel who has made our stay very joyful and incredible. The ancient colonial atmosphere perfectly matches with all the comforts and services. A perfect spot for couples, families and small groups. Definitely recommended.

The property is absolutely beautiful. The gardens are lovely and the rooms are like an estate house and authentic. Everything is impeccably clean.

It was a little outside of town, but very quiet and peaceful

Helpful staff and generous breakfast in a quiet mansion. Good connection to touritic sites.

Far from some restaurants at least in October.

Full of charm and antique history, plus natural Beauty. Easy walk to natural pools and village.

Nothing

Breakfast

The village. There were no good restaurants. Snack bar was best.

Great value for money- hotel in the middle of nature

Breakfast good and available earlier than advetised Nice grounds and location Plenty of car parking

I really don't like being presented on check-in with a blank credit card slip for 'security deposit' and finding out that this is the method of settling your bar bill as the proprietor is not around. No final account offered. Staff were pleasant but not very knowledgeable about the island.
