Holiday rentals in Porto Formoso

The apartment was just how described. Easy to find, park and get in! The view to the beach was more than shown in pictures!

A peaceful spot to enjoy the island from. Check in and parking was easy and the apartment itself was very clean. It had everything we needed for a couple of nights and the garden/pool area was really nicely done!

Beautiful base for Sao Miguel We loved Erico‘s place which was comfortable, beautifully decorated and charming. It also was very well equipped with dishes, spices, generous towels und great beds. Parking on the steep street is a bit daunting to start with and there are barking dogs just like everywhere else on the island that break up the serenity but the place is a real haven and between walking to the beach and driving to the different corners of the island it’s in a great place too. Érico was a responsive generous host, from the welcome bread and milk to restaurant recommendations , thank you Erico, we would definitely come again

The home is very beautiful and the pool area was pristine and idyllic! Sao Miguel weather is unpredictable so be mindful it may be too cold to use the pool. The closest restaurants are about 10 minutes away in Caloura. This area is extremely quiet so you will want to plan accordingly if you are looking for things to do!

My daughter and I spent a week here and I'm so glad we weren't tempted to explore any of the other islands. Sao Miguel is so beautiful and has so much to offer, especially if you like to get off the beaten track and are prepared to drive through narrow streets and walk up & down inclines! Lagoa itself has all you may need within walking distance, and access to a modern mall and supermarket within a short driving distance. We tried several of the local restaurants and were not disappointed with any of them. It is a seafood lover's paradise. The one that stood out for us was O Rui but it was a close race. Francisco's home is exactly as pictured and described. It is well furnished, with new appliances, a nicely equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The view of the Atlantic ocean cannot be surpassed, especially from the top floor. Francisco was helpful and generous, and responded to our intermittent questions in a timely manner. We were so very sad to leave!

What a peaceful, private and beautiful accommodation. The gardens are spectacular. Francisco is so easy to communicate with and provided great recommendations. We look forward to a return to this little bit of heaven!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming tiny house in Santo Antonio. The place was spotless, with everything super clean and well-maintained. Check-in was smooth and easy, and we felt welcomed from the very beginning. The pool area is a real highlight—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. A special mention for the breakfast: such a thoughtful and delicious touch that made our mornings even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and cozy stay in the area!

We loved staying in this little cottage by the sea. The days watching the waves break on the shore, and the nights curled up by the fire with a film - it was truly a beautiful place. Parking is easy and free, and there's a choice of two local restaurants (note one of them is currently closed for renovation, but the other one has great food albeit with no sea view). The property itself is perfect for a romantic getaway to the sea. Hearing the waves rip onto the sand at night was a special experience, and there's a waterfall in walking distance too. I would also strongly recommend the municipal hiking trail which we tried on a whim, but ended up being one of the best hikes we did in the Azores - it starts right next to the house! Most importantly, I need to shout out to Joao and his team. We had an issue with the bathroom and he fixed it within 24h, despite it being a public holiday in Portugal that day. We really appreciated how hard he worked to get it all sorted so quickly. Kudos!
