The Whales Studio at Quinta São Roque is a welcoming, self-catering base for exploring São Miguel — perfect for couples, or anyone seeking a relaxed island rhythm. Named for the ocean’s most awe‑inspiring residents, celebrating the beauty and strength of the Atlantic. Our peaceful retreat sits just five minutes from Ponta Delgada while remaining perfectly positioned for day trips in every direction.

The apartment
Comfortable, light-filled, and thoughtfully equipped, studio (25 m²) offers sleeping for 2 guests. The studio has a queen bed, linens, blackout blinds, and an en-suite shower — stocked with shampoo, shower gel, and a hairdryer — ensure restful nights. Fresh towels are provided, with mid-stay changes available upon request (every 5 days).

The full kitchen is equipped with a cooktop, oven, microwave, coffee machine, kettle, and every utensil you need to prepare simple breakfasts, picnic lunches, or relaxed dinners at home. A dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi‑Fi (200 Mbps) works well for remote work or catching up on emails, while a smart TV and our collection of 65+ board games offer indoor entertainment on quieter days. A washer and drying rack make longer stays easy.

Location & nearby attractions
São Roque’s central location is one of the best parts: you’re only five minutes from Ponta Delgada (the island’s capital, with restaurants, markets, and shops), yet surrounded by nature and close to sandy beaches like Praia do Pópulo and Praia das Milícias—ideal for a quick swim or a sunset walk. From here, São Miguel’s highlights are within easy reach: Lagoa do Fogo (25 minutes), Caldeira das Sete Cidades (30 minutes), and Furnas (35 minutes).

Garden and Outdoor Living, Natural Swimming Pond

Guests can enjoy Quinta São Roque’s shared 1,000 m² garden, with our natural swimming pool, outdoor dining areas, a barbecue, sunbeds and quiet places to read or enjoy a morning coffee. The garden is planted with seasonal flowers and subtropical greenery, creating a calm place to return to after exploring São Miguel. The outdoor area also includes a fire pit for relaxed evenings. An outdoor massage professional may be available by request; please ask us before your stay for availability and pricing.

We live on-site at Quinta São Roque and are always here if you have questions or want recommendations—restaurants, trails, best swimming spots, waterfalls, or practical tips for planning your days. We’re happy to welcome you personally at check-in, chat about your plans, and help you make the most of São Miguel.
