Staff from welcome buddy met us at the property upon check in. They were very responsive before and throughout our stay if we needed anything. The property was beautiful and comfortable and we'll equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. A nice touch was a welcome basket with local produce. Location was great, quiet but pretty central to most things on the island. Great experience and highly recommend.

    The location was great! Just a 2 minute walk to the beach and the little village itself was absolutely adorable. The house had everything you need (we stayed for a week) and has a lot of space. Key collection was very easy and the hosts gave us great tips for sightseeing. Definitely recommend! :)

    We had the most incredible stay, the house is really well equipped, we had everything we needed and way more. The view alone is amazing and then you have this wonderful terrace to enjoy it. Host was super engaging and responsive, we felt really well cared for. Porto Formoso is a quiet village, perfect for a secluded stay but perfectly situated to visit all corners of the island at the same time. We could have stayed forever!

    Comfortable room with shared bathroom within a family home. Access to the communal kitchen with all the basics included, and a wonderful roof terrace plus garden to sit and relax in, overlooking the village and sea. The hosts Deborah and Davide are very friendly and helpful, ready to provide plenty of tips for the island and chat about their experiences of running the Handmade House. Free parking right outside, very close to the beach and a couple of restaurants.
