Great villa and staff.
We rented a villa on the second line, but was upgraded to a room on the first line by the ocean, it was incredibly kind.
The villa itself is amazing, incredible terrace with a view of the sunset ocean, comfortable bed, good repair, the kitchen is well equipped, but keep in mind that if you are going to cook, you also need to bring basic products like salt with you.
This villa combined with the beauty of the island definitely deserves to come back here again.
Thank you <3

This was the most magical place. The staff were exceptional- friendly and helpful. The stone houses restored so beautifully but with the original stone and design honoured. And the scenery and surroundings were stunning and didn't even feel real with waterfalls in one direction and the ocean in the other. We wanted to stay forever and had hoped the winter weather would have been too bad for us to fly out. The food was also great, the reception area so cute with homemade treats, coffee and tea. Every detail was thoughtful and caring. We will be back!

Nice house with lovely view, it has everything you need and even more - such as board games and smart tv. The host is nice and helpful. Everything is new and clean.
Cedros itself is also nice - located in the middle between ponta delgada and santa cruz - you can walk in both directions - cant decide which hike is better.
I added some pictures with walking distance.
You cant expect to have shop in here, but the more magical this place is.

The house was very clean when we arrived and plenty of equipment (towel, dishes, soap, ...) was provided. The landscape around the house is simply beautiful. The owner is extremely nice and accommodating.

It is located in the nicest part of Flores. The owners are super friendly. The room is extremely clean, the bed is very comfortable with 2 sets of pillows. The kitchen is fully equipped. What was really special gesture that there were snacks prepared for us, the next day was a holiday so it was perfect to have some breakfast. They even did our laundry while we were there. Walking distance to restaurants and directly on some of the hiking trails.

Probably the best location on Flores. Trails are easily accessible and close to main viewpoints. Views of ocean and waterfalls cant be beat. The house (mill) is very spacious and perfect for a stay where you can feel a little lost in time :-) Hosts were very accommodating with my flight delays which required adjusting booking dates!

Located in beautiful soundings, quiet with a private garden. The place is very clean and has great wifi and very comfy beds and is close to trails and waterfalls. The owner Ricardo was friendly and provided a lot of useful information about the island and he was always available to help.

A magical village with kind helpful people.
A magical village with kind helpful people. The village is like something out of a fairytale, perfect scenery, with beautiful well kept livestock, has such a nostalgic feel. The food was incredibly fresh and tasty, we also stayed in Sao Miguel (5 star hotel) but the food here was of a way better standard! Be carful when driving at night, ensure you have an offline map as signal is weak down some winding country lanes- we got quite lost and roads are very steep.

From the waterfalls in the west, to the lovely walkable city of Santa Cruz in the east, Flores is a delight. Get your hiking boots ready as there are many beautiful trails to check out on this island, but plan on a few days as the weather can be unpredictable and it would be a pity not to see Flores in full sunshine.

The village is small and on Sundays there’s only two restaurants open (low season). Weather is unpredictable and not so warm (18°C). Our host Ricardo recommends coming here in September when it’s still warm and the sea is about 25°C. We saw a lot of trekkers everywhere. On Flores you definitely would need a car. Close to the village iate a couple of stunning waterfalls.

I liked that it was near the famous sites and in a quiet area. It is an old house so I found it very cold and it also had a musky smell. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of blankets to stay warm. The shower was plenty hot and there were long soft towels to dry off. I had problems with the lock box not working easily. I was disappointed that there were no stores or a bakery as it’s a very small village. Buy what you need in Santa Cruz. The island is gorgeous and this side has so many waterfalls to enjoy.

Absolutely stunning island.
Absolutely stunning island. The natural beauty left me in awe many times. I hope this natural landscape is protected. The whale museum was very educational and worth the visit. Although I think they should charge more than one Euro for entrance. It was easy to get around with our small rental car.

It is really a paradise.
It is really a paradise. On one hand I want to share my joy from getting to see it, on the other it needs to stay pure and forgotten by the masses. When flying there, our plane had to turn back because of a technical issue, as if I was asked if I really mean it. If you love and respect nature, go for it!

Island is just amazing, lots of scenic views and full of waterfalls. People in Flores are the kindest I've met in my travels and food's quality is what you would expect from a typical Portuguese village.

Very cool, old town.
Very cool, old town. Feels like you've stepped back in time a couple centuries. A couple local restaurants that have awesome food, with less than awesome service, when they happen to be open. Don't trust online hours, they're often incorrect. Reservations are a must as everything in town books up quickly and has incredibly limited availability. Come for the breath taking beauty, not anything else. From our experience, definitely the best place to stay on Flores island for access to the highlights of the island.

I believe Flores is the most beautiful island among the Azores. Santa Cruz is the location of the airport, small town but charming and clean. People usually visit Flores for the nature, but Santa Cruz is a good place to stay.
