About Josie Frazao

Mario & I were born in S. Miguel. In our early teens, and in the late sixties with our families we immigrated to Canada in search of a better life. 1978 we married & 1981 our children son & daughter ' twins were born'! Over the years we visited S. Miguel often, we both fell in love with Island combined with Mario's love for the ocean, led us to own a small piece of this paradise. We would love the opportunity to share and have you make this your holiday home. Let us be ones to Welcome you to beautiful São Miguel

Josie Frazao purchased this bungalow in 2007
Why Josie Frazao chose Sao Miguel Island

This location is perfect, with easy access to all parts of the Island. We purchased this home for the simple fact that it is situated right by the ocean! This very cozy home provides us with plenty of privacy. We enjoy our daily walks through the property all the way to ocean side. The abundant six acre parcel of land surrounded by many century old trees and the sound of chirping birds is very delightful. The fact that this house up until the early 1940’s was the local primary school for the then very small population of this town became very intriguing to us. This town’s population today is less than 2000. Here we satisfy our love for the ocean by snorkeling and fishing alone or by joining the locals. We also love driving right into our property via an automated gate, we park in total privacy, We love the fact that this location offers the best of both, privacy and a sense of being disconnected from the rest of the world, while at the same time it is well balanced with all the conveniences very close by.

What makes this bungalow unique

The very appealing unique feature of this home is that you can walk down its very own private way all the way to the ocean side; you can go for a swim or you can just take in the amazing views. Homes with access to the ocean is not the norm here, this is mainly due to the very cliffy nature of São Miguel. Also the fact that the original stone oven is still operational, and today and is being used to cook authentic Azorean food is an absolute gem! The very thick stone walls of this house add a constant regulated indoor temperature, making it a very cozy place to spend a lot of time indoors. We carefully renovated, by bringing the entire house up to date, while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the old world charm; Most recently, year end of 2012 we have introduced the private in property parking behind a remote controlled gate. For our Golf enthusiastes We have a special arrangement with the Batalha Golf; We offer you the same special Golf rates as the Hotels that cater to Golf Tournaments!

Sao Miguel May 2013

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 11, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
My wife and I visited Sao Miguel in late May, '13. We chose this as our holiday destination for its' proximity to my Wife's Great Grandmother's birth town and also for the positive reviews attached to it. I must say we were not disappointed. Victor and Laudalina were waiting at the airport upon our arrival. After a long travel from the U.S. it was welcoming to have someone guide us to our destination. Estrela was there at the house to greet us with a breakfast of fresh bread, jams, fruit and coffee. We needed it! There was also a fine bottle of wine to enjoy later.

With the touch of a speed dial Estrela or her family was there to assist us any way they could. They all go out of their way to speak good english which was appreciated as our Portuguese is not as good as it should be. One evening Chef Estrella prepared an outstanding meal of local cousine and Jose helped serve it to us. Not only did we enjoy one of the best meals we have had, we had the opportunity to share conversation with some new friends.

We have been fortunate to do a fair amont of travel and find this well appointed and clean home to be perhaps the best overall accomodation we have had. Its' access to your private ocean front really reminds you that you truly have gotten away.

We will choose this as our holiday destination upon our next visit to beautiful Sao Miguel. Obrigado to all!

Owner's Response: Dearest guest; We are very grateful for your visit, we are especially honored that you will consider us again as your place of choice for your return visit. We are truly humbled that an experienced traveler such as you, found this holiday home, our staff, and services superior to others. All our staff enjoyed very much meeting both of you…they especially said, that they enjoyed your very friendly, lively and very good sense of humor! As for Estrela, being an experienced cook with the heart of a servant… nothing pleases her more that the opportunity to be of service. We are also very proud to have Jose who is a certified teacher, and up until recently, he was teaching at fine restaurants “The art of Hospitality and waiting on tables” We are happy to know that you enjoyed all, and that you took advantage of the very private and convenient roadway to the ocean side. As you have seen, this landscape is very large and a work in progress for us. By your next visit, there will be much progress made. Our aim is to maximize your holiday experience every time.

From all of us a big and heartfelt THANK YOU for your patronage, and for taking the time to put your review in writing and on Our Website. I am certain that your review will be a vital tool that will assist other travelers to make a well informed choice.

With best regards at your service we remain;
Your Host; Josie Frazao

I had a great 1 week in Dec. and the weather was great. The chef Estrella and her family were very nice. Her food that she prepared for me was the best home made traditional food I ever tasted. When you travel it is so much easier for another person to make your food and all you do is come back to the home and eat.

I was able to relax and the home was very clean and well maintained with all the that you need while away. The pictures on the website are a true to what the home looks like. It is very comfortable and makes you feel like you are at home.

I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to visit the Azores Islands as you are close to the beach, Ponto Delgado, highway, and any attractions you want to visit. If you just want to relax and enjoy the view you can or the beach area you can do that also.

The home is well laid out. The sofa in theliving area is a great place to sit and watch tv or enjoy a drink after dinner and just relax.

The owners provided great customer service. Any questions I had and all my needs were meet. They make you feel like you are part of their family. I would recommend a vacation of 2 weeks as 1 week was not enought to see and experience the island.

The shopping mall in the city reminds me of a mall in North America even the food court had Pizza Hut, Burger King, Wok place.

I would like to mention again that even if you don't feel like cooking Estrella makes great meals and they are home cooked meals.

I would like to thank Estrella, her family and the owner for making my stay the best trip I have taken. I will recommend it to anyone that has a family it's a great home to stay.

I look forward to returning one day soon.

A Most Memorable and Enjoyable Trip

Josie, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your home and the blessing it was to meet all of your friends. Firstly, thank you for having Estrela prepare the food for lunch upon our day of arrival, it was wonderful. Also please thank Victor and Laudalina for meeting us at the airport and so graciously taking us into their home the first day they met us. We were overwhelmed with their generosity and willingness to share all of their friends and food with us. It was the start to a perfect vacation.

After that day it just got progressively better, Estrela would make us a wonderful meal for Furnas and also at home, where we got to meet her daughter as well, but in addition to that she also invited us to her home for drinks and delivered us tea and soup for our trek up the mountains. The most memorable part of our vacation was definitely the people that we met who will forever leave us with wonderful memories.

Your home is exactly like it was in the pictures, very clean with all the amenities from hair dryers, curling irons, and toiletries to Martini Glasses and full TV and Internet connections.

Sao Miguel is beautiful, so I recommend to all your guests that they will need a full day for every part of the Island because there is so much to see. I also recommend Estrela to cook for them because she is an awesome chef.

Owner's Response: Dear Judith, Norm & friends:
Your friends in Sao Miguel send all four of you best wishes and heartfelt hug.

I begin by thanking you for taking the time to write such an amazing review! I am humbled by your warm detailed account of how well you were received, and how from the get go you were made to feel among friends.

You are two beautiful, fun and full of adventure couples. Your supper friendliness and willingness to experience and embrace the culture, left all of your new found friends here longing a return visit!

Laudalina and Victor feel privileged and blessed to have met you, and are very proud to have shared a very much enjoyed social gathering with you. As for Estrela, she gets tear eyed when she talks about all four of you. She shared with me many special details, and how much she and her family loved your company. She is waiting for your friend to come over and stay a while so she can teach her the Azorean cuisine?

I am pleased to know that you enjoyed the welcome meal we provided, as well the subsequent meals Estrela prepared for you. The Furnas all day trip we arranged, orchestrated
and catered by Estrela also met and exceeded your expectations!

I am further pleased to know that you found the home to be as described and well equipped. I am always looking for ways to improve, and as part of this vision, we are now on location constructing a private pathway from the back of the house that leads all the way to the ocean. We are also very proud to have since your visit, put in place private parking for our guests.

Thank you for your patronage and for being such great generous guests. Everyone here are very touched and have a special place in their hearts for all of you.

Forever grateful to have met you;
Josie Frazao (Host)

Peaceful Relaxation and Beautiful Ocean Views

Good Morning Josie!

We have arrived home after a marvelous week in your amazing home in Sao Miquel. It was lovely to be greeted at the airport by Lena and her son. They were very welcoming and informative as we traveled the 20 minute drive across the island to your home. Our arrival at the house was as described accurately. Your home is so nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and best equipped rental house we have seen! I believe you out did yourself by adding the personal touch of having arranged a catered dinner for us upon our arrival. We greatly appreciated your caring effort to welcome us! Because we enjoyed that special service, we also had a couple of dinners catered by Estrella, who also went out of her way to please us.
The island was relaxing and driving around the island was pure pleasure. We also were able to experience the town of Calhetas's Festival Friday evening and I had so much fun, as the people in small village were so friendly and inviting to us!
Thank you again Josie for such a peaceful, relaxing holiday! It was all and more of what I was looking for!

Hi Josie,
How are you? We had a wonderful time in Sao Miguel.Your home is truly a home away from home! The pictures of the house are true to life.The location is perfect and the house is equipped with everything you need.We really felt very comfortable.Your bed linens and bath towels are of best quality.My granddaughter loved the bathrobes.
Stephen and I cooked many times, we felt like we were home.Everything we needed to prepare a perfect meal was readily available from cooking utensils to a supermarket near by.We took advantage of the beach near by many late afternoons.The water was warm and beautiful and the local people very welcoming.My grandchildren watered the flower boxes with care.They said "this is like home" out of the mouth of babes!!! So my dear Josie,a good time was had by all.Last but not least your assistance in obtaining our rental cars was extremely valuable,thanks again.
Owner's Response: Dear Guests;
So nice to hear back and to know that you enjoyed your holiday home. Benvinda you are such an amazing family. I can’t believe that you took a quiet moment of your holiday time to call and share with me how satisfied you all were with the accommodations. I am also humbled and speechless that you impressed upon your grandchildren to spill over their kindness and diligence with the upkeep of your holiday place. Please thank them for me…as for the flower boxes they more than thrived….our gardener for a moment questioned if he still had a job!!!!

A holiday home is exactly what we aimed for, and to know that you found it deserving to be called your holiday home is very exciting.

I enjoyed very much getting to know you, and the little that I did, was nothing compared to the joy and blessings you brought us. Also, both Laudalina and caretaker Odilia were very impressed by how nice and supper friendly you all are. Laudalina described in detail the most beautiful green and black trimmed dress you wore on departure day! We all miss you and hope to have the pleasure to see you again.

A huge thank you, and a big warm friendly Azorean hug;

Your friend;
Josie Frazao
