Loved how unique and special this spot was, we made some really lovely friends here because of the convivial nature of the home and we felt so welcome. The sea view from the garden is amazing and we enjoyed some beautiful stars during the nights as well. Deborah and Davide are the most wonderful hosts and made our stay perfect.

This property is located a short distance from attractions such as Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Estrelas. Certain units at the property include a terrace with a mountain view.

Rossana welcomed us and was very professional, kind and helpful. Our room had a beautiful and stunning ocean view. One only thing, we had just a little much light in the morning but Rossana helped us facing this. We had a great time. She makes also excellent homemade jams and offers some liquors (I very recommend ginggjinha).

Located in the São Miguel Island of the Azores archipelago, Casa da Flor offers accommodation in double rooms and free WiFi. This unit is situated in Ribeira Grande, 9 km from the Fire Lagoon.

The guest house is 600 metres from Nossa Senhora das Estrelas Church and the Oito Arcos Bridge. The famous Sete Cidades Lagoon is 30 km away and the Ponta Delgada International Airport is 20 km away.

The room was spacious, the breakfast provided every morning was delicious, the hosts were very friendly and gave lots of great recommendations, and the hosts even did our laundry and cleaned the room halfway through the stay since we were staying for 10 days. The location was great since it was in the middle of the island so it was no more than 40 minutes to get to any part of it. Ribeira Grande also had great hot springs that were 15 min away and they were our favorite!

    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! :)

    The sign of a good host is how they deal with a problem…the washer leaked and the host was straight there (late at night) to sort things out. Cannot complain at all…..very good house with excellent service.

    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!

    This apartment is just perfect: clean, spacious and comfortable for a family of 4, well equipped, in a great position (close to everything but in a quiet location), with good and fast wifi, and the view is just amazing - it was hard to leave. Also, the host is really kind and helpful!
