Casa das Cinco  

Facing the seafront in Angra do Heroísmo, Casa das Cinco is a cheeky beach hotel with sea views and a seaside vibe. You're near the sand and just about 11 minutes by car from Zona Balnear do Negrito, a 3-minute drive from Queijo Vaquinha, and within easy reach of nearby forest reserves like Lagoa das Patas and Serra de S. Barbara.

Small and stylish — three individually decorated guestrooms mix simple comfort with local touches. Rooms include espresso makers, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with toiletries and hair dryers, plus coffee/tea makers and irons. Expect patios or pool views and a relaxed terrace-and-garden layout.

Soak in the year-round outdoor pool or rent a bike to explore the coast. There's a terrace, garden, picnic and barbecue areas, tour/ticket assistance, diving club access and on-site car rental. Free self parking is available, and the property offers pool-facing patios for sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected during your stay.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavors, and continental breakfast is offered daily from 8:30–9:30 for a fee. Rooms also come with in-room espresso makers for early caffeine runs.
