You cannot beat the location of this apartment overlooking the Porto Formoso harbor! Everything was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed making breakfast every morning in the kitchen and eating on the patio. At night, the restaurant up the street is one of the best places we ate at on the island. On the other way down the street is a small market and cafe.

We loved our stay in this village located not too far away from Ribeira Grande and well positioned to visiting the whole island. The house had everything we needed and was clean. The communication was easy with the owner. It was a quiet environment and we loved being awakened by the sounds of the church bells and several roosters! The view was amazing as is the whole island of Sao Miguel.

Casa do Porto

Jose was wonderful in allowing us an early check-in due to our travel schedule. We had a small difficulty with the lockbox but José resolved the issue quickly, and it was our first exposure to the neighbors, who went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly. I cant say enough about the neighbors on both sides of the house. The location is stunning, our only regret is that it rained quite a bit so we couldn’t be outside on the deck as much as we’d have liked. All in all a wonderful stay, thank you!

Ein wirklich tolles Haus mit phantastischem Meerblick!Die Einrichtung und Ausstattung, auch der Kücheneinrichtung, war perfekt. Schönes Mobiliar, großzügige helle Räumlichkeiten. Meerblick von 2 Räumen und der riesigen Terrasse. Der dritte Raum hatte Seitenblick auf die Berge.Die Terrasse hat einen überdachten Bereich mit Esstisch und Stühlen und 2 Liegesesseln und einen tollen Blick aufs Meer, den Hafen und den Ort mit der Kirche, hinter der wir an einigen Tagen den Sonnenuntergang beobachten konnten.Wir haben häufig draußen gesessen. Da es teilweise kühl und ein bisschen regnerisch und an anderen Tagen sehr sonnig war, kam uns die Überdachung sehr entgegen. Das Haus liegt oberhalb der Straße, weshalb der Blick ungestört war und der Verkehr uns nicht störte. Ein separater Laundry-Raum enthielt eine Waschmaschine und einen Wäscheständer. Die Räume wurden sehr sauber, mit liebevollen Arrangements übergeben. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber José war schnell und unkompliziert, José war sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit.Die Umgebung war abwechslungsreich, die Lage am Meer toll. Porto Formoso ist ein Dorf mit wenig Infrastruktur, es gibt einen winzigen Laden und ein rustikales Restaurant mit freundlicher englischsprechender Bedienung, in dem wir einmal zu Abend gegessen haben.Im Nachbarort Moinhos war der schönste Strand, den wir auf Sao Miguel hatten, und ein tolles Strandlokal mit sehr nettem Personal und leckerem Essen. Wir kommen gern wieder!

Superbe maison très bien localisée sur Sao Miguel

Superbe maison localisée en plein centre d'un village authentique. Emplacement idéal pour visiter toute l'île de Sao Miguel. Vue sur mer des fenêtres de la maison et des 3 terrasses. Une immense terrasse pour prendre les repas. Aménagement moderne et excellente literie. Très propre. Communication efficace avec le gérant immobilier. Nous avons passé 14 jours exceptionnels.

Toller Urlaub uf einer grandiosen Insel

Unser Gastgeber auf San Miguel war total nett und immer ansprechbar. Das Ferienhaus hat eine große,teilweise überdachte Terrasse, auf der wir auch bei Regen sitzen könnten. 5 Gehminuten entfernt ist ein kleiner Laden in dem man alle Dinge des täglichen Lebens bekommt. Leistungsfähiges Internet! Wir wollen wiederkommen..

Guter Platz um die ganze Insel zu erkunden!

Sehr gepflegte Große Wohnung, schöne Terrasse, Blick auf den Hafen. Manchmal etwas laut, die nahe Kirche bimmelt alle 15 Minuten….In einem Schlafzimmer quietschendes Bett. Insgesamt aber gute Ausstattung und den Preis sicher wert!

Parfait

Le logement a été entièrement rénové récemment (fenêtres en double vitrage, moustiquaires, électroménagers récents). Le logement était très propre. Tout est à disposition : sèche cheveux, sechoir à linge, machine à laver, tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner et même des petites attentions (confitures etc). On peut garer la voiture juste devant l'appartement. La vue sur le port est un vrai plus. Ce fut un plaisir d'y séjourner pendant nos vacances, nous recommandons ++ ce logement.
