About this property

Welcome to Maia Guest House

Maia Guest House stands out as a charming and comfortable retreat nestled in the tranquil town of Maia, Portugal. With a solid rating of 4.4, it draws praise for its spaciousness and home-like ambiance, making it particularly ideal for groups and families seeking a peaceful getaway.

Located at R. do Rosario 5, this guest house is a model of traditional Azorean architecture, blending local authenticity with modern amenities. Visitors appreciate its calm surroundings, mere steps from a stunning beach and close to essential conveniences—a bakery renowned for its fresh bread just 100 meters away, and a supermarket a stone’s throw from the doorstep. This proximity enriches the stay, allowing guests to embrace local life effortlessly.

Inside, Maia Guest House impresses with its well-equipped kitchen outfitted for over ten people, accommodating communal meals and social gatherings with ease. The presence of both washing and drying machines, along with a sheltered drying rack, adds a practical touch, reflecting thoughtful hospitality aimed at longer stays.

The guest house nurtures a serene atmosphere, with a sizable lounge featuring cable TV and reliable wireless internet, encouraging relaxation and connection. The quietness extends well into the night, fostering deep rest. Two bathrooms and a private courtyard provide additional comfort, inviting guests to unwind in privacy or outdoors.

Despite the overall comfort, some visitors note a heightened humidity typical of the island’s climate, a minor inconvenience overshadowed by the house’s many strengths. Its proximity to natural attractions, including ocean vistas and natural pools, combined with ample parking and nearby restaurants and bars, makes Maia Guest House a strategic base for exploring the Azores’ scenic and recreational offerings.

In essence, Maia Guest House is more than just accommodation—it embodies a warm, authentic Azorean experience marked by space, comfort, and a welcoming environment. It is an excellent choice for those who value tranquility, community, and cultural immersion while enjoying modern conveniences close to nature’s beauty.

É uma casa pequena, mas muito confortável e típica dos Açores. O local é muito calmo próximo do mar com uma praia lindíssima. Tem um mercado a 10 m e uma padaria a 100m com pão excelente. Está equipado com cozinha com utensílios para mais de 10 pessoas. Possui também uma lavandaria com máquinas de lavar e secar bem como estendal abrigado. Tem TV cabo e net wireless. Só uma TV na sala. No 1ºandar. Tem uma sala de leitura no rés-do-chão e um quintal com esplanada. 2 WC com 3 chuveiros fechados. Recomendo.

В целом, мне всё понравилось. Тихий, уютный хостел, где есть всё необходимое чтобы провести вечер/ночь. Нормальный санузел (их тут целых два), внутренний дворик где можно посидеть вечером, кухня со всем необходимым. Единственное что меня напрягло, так это большая влажность в номере. Но, это меня преследовало во всех аппартаментах острова, так что никаких претензий к этому у меня и нет.
