Top Moinhos Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"Sao Miguel is small enough that you can choose one accommodation centrally located and drive the whole island. Verde Mar and Spa offers ocean views overlooking a beautiful surf beach. Included breakfast is great and in house dining is convenient after a day of touring the island. Ribeira Grande is quaint without the urban cluster of P. Delgado. The 20 minute drive to the north side of the island is certainly worth it."

BEACH HOUSE - Casa das Hortênsias - STUNING VIEW - 6 sleeps

10/10 Excellent

"Jose's place was very clean, comfortable, quiet and ideally located for us. The view from the top terrace is of the beautiful beach and mountains. The kitchen was stocked with many appliances and dishes. If you don't feel like cooking, several restaurants are within walking distance. You can walk to the beach as well. This a well-kept home in a charming area and we highly recommend it for your stay on the Azores."

GuestReady - beachfront retreat in Porto Formoso

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this VRBO property for 8 nights. Everything was fantastic. Place was spotless. Great beachfront location. Nice lunch place next door. A few other restaurants in the local area. We found ourselves going to Ribiera Grande most nights for dinner (10 minute drive). The beach was clean and most days perfect for swimming. Pretty gentle waves. Yesterday it was quite rough so no swimming. We booked a few excursions such as fishing, rock jumping etc and they were all really convenient. Great holiday. Thank you to the owners for sharing this property. Great time."

Solar de Lalem

10/10 Excellent

"Hello from America! Absolutely beautiful property, well maintained & operated by kind people. Breakfast was so good! Everything was super clean. Thank you so much!"

HillTop Azores Beach & Countryside Apt for 6 Moinhos

10/10 Excellent

"What a great place to stay. Views amazing, hosts even better. They were accommodating and thoughtful through out the stay. Beach was close by, nearby restaurant was simply amazing and the outdoor balcony was spacious; you will never want to leave to go on your day excursions. Recomend bringing binoculars to capture the surroundings even more and be ready for some uphill both walking and driving but all worth it."

Casa do Porto, relax with this stunning sea view

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Fully furnished holiday home with stunning views

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property. I couldn't ask for a better location: central on the island, and just a short walk to the beach. Luis has excellent communication and checked in with me multiple times during my stay to make sure I had everything I needed. And the unit is fully stocked with everything you could ever need"

quiet secluded location, yet central, the perfect family vacation

10/10 Excellent

"Our host was friendly, warm and very helpful"
