Moinho da Bibi — Hotel in Ponta Delgada

Overall an interesting location, but I would strongly recommend against staying here for a couple of reasons:

The room has an extremely strong mildew smell. If you have any sort of lung health issues, stay away from here because there’s definitely mold in the walls.

The bathroom and where you’re sleeping are pretty far from each other and involve a lot of steps. Not something you’d want to do while you’re sleeping.

We went to the lookout right near the property. It was a beautiful walk, but while coming back we got attacked by two dogs chained together. The owner of the dogs finally came to see what’s going on, and then started acting like it’s our fault. She also started asking questions about what our nationality is, etc.

The owner of these dogs was threatening enough that we decided not to stay here overnight and cancel our 3 night stay.

We communicated this with the owner, and asked for a refund for 2 nights to be fair to them. Especially since they had not expressed the mildew smell in the place.

The owner replied to us with a xenophobic response, effectively blaming us for getting attacked by the dogs.

We were lucky that I knew how to deal with aggressive dogs, but if I had a small kid with me, I am terrified to think about how that might...

We really enjoyed our stay here when we stayed a week on the island. The owners were very welcoming, the caretakers helped us with our check-in and requests. The space was unique and made for great conversation stories when we got back home. The views and exploring the area made for lovely afternoon walks. Totally worth the 5-stars, would love...

Its an amazing place, friendly women, but the gate for the car is not working half of the time (she knows this because she explaines the workaround) in the night we heard allot of animals and things in the walls which dindt give us a good night...
