About this property

Fully furnished holiday home with stunning views

Vivenda Xavier is situated at the little fisherman village named Porto Formoso, (the marvellous port). Just about 3 minutes from the vivenda you'l find is the local beach Praia dos Moinhos. A very particular small beach with outstanding sanitary facilities. Not far away you may enjoy a good cup of tea at Chá de Porto Formoso. One of the two old family business in Europe involved in tea production. This, all fashioned with the little fisherman port and the local church from 1509, turns this little place into a unique spot in Europe. The inhabitants make their living today predominantly from agriculture, cattle breeding, and fishing.

Great week
We had a truly lovely time at Luis's place. Our kids loved it and we appreciated the baby gates, high chairs, and pack and play. The views of the ocean, and cows on a hillside, from the outdoor dining table were sublime. As others have noted, Luis is a top-of-the-line host who pays a ton of attention and wants to make sure you have a stellar stay.

Porto Formoso stay
Our host was terrific, not only in ensuring the property was wonderful, but also in helping with recommendations in the area. We loved being away from Ponta Delgarda, but still just a short drive to anywhere on the island. The beach is great. You will not regret booking this property.

Living the dream
We stayed for 3 nights, wished we had a week at Vivienda Xavier. We loved the property, amenities, and location. We fully enjoyed the sound of the ocean & waterfall from the patio in the morning & evenings, and the activities on the island, as well as the quaint beach and trail with waterfall within walking distance. We are already talking about returning with additional family to enjoy the island and the property. We absolutely loved our time, and Luis was a great, very communicative host.

Best area to set up home to explore the Island
Xavier provided everything we needed to feel at home on the island. Beach towels, full kitchen, fully stock bathrooms and laundry facilities. BBQ, outdoor dining with views of a waterfall and coastline from a terrace provides an outdoor respite. Being able to come back to this home after a full day of exploring was such a treat.

About the host

Hosted by Luís xavier

Host profile image
I do like to observe, makes me forming ideas about people, animals and things in life. I do like teaching because it passes on the little I know to the one he wants to know what I know. I like to write lyrics for songs to be sung and offered to those who may enjoy them. I like to sleep because mostly is always good to dream.
I love the Azores because they offer a divine beauty, this spot of the world embrace me with their nature, and surprise me with his characteristics. I like good wine, because I am a son of Earth, I like football even still do not knowing why. I like the sun because it warms me up, I love a good joke to wake up or drive away the melancholy or the routine. The well being of my 'guests' worries me, I feel good sharing with others my little corner planted by the sea.

Why they chose this property

I am not living on S. Miguel or in Portugal, but in the Netherlands. I left Portugal very young, 18 years old, alone, living my family behind, my country and my friends. A choice I had to make, to achieve a better live.
All my family comes from the Azores, S. MigueI. I always remember as a child, my parents homesickness talks about they're home land. They had left the Azores to the mainland, Lisbon where I was born in 1955, and they never went back to the Azores! 18 years ago I have made my first visit to the land of my parents and please believe-me, it was a wonderful feeling during my first steps on the island. I felt home and yet never had been there before! A year later me and my dutch wife decided to by our little place, planted at the sea. Every time we can, we spend some time there, the time left, we like to share it with people by renting it, with everyone who wants to enjoy the Azores.

So unfortunately I believe I will not be there to meet you! I will get in touch by phone just after your arrival and again a few days later to make sure you will have everything to your liking.

What makes this property unique

The vivenda is a complete furnished holiday home that makes it possible for you, to bring only your personal things, and where you will relax thanks to all the comfort and the privacy. On this breathtaking beautiful, unforgettable spot you enjoy in the winter a comfortable living room with hearth. In the summer the joy of the wonderful see and mountain view from the balcony. In the spring your certainly will enjoy both: The sunny terrace and the crackling fire during the romantic evenings. This atmosphere will certainly be even more romantic thanks to the whistling of the many birds, the nearest waterfall and the always present Atlantic ocean.
