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.

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.

This was the best accomodation of our holidays on the Acores. We felt very comfortable. Everything was clean and we missed nothing. The breakfast was fanatastic and we loved the little details like the selfmade cake and jam. It's located near the centre but very quietly. We could see the ocean from the terrace.

    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.

    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!
