Holiday houses in Lagoa do Fogo

Lotus House was sensational! We were a family group ranging in ages from 17 months old to 67 years old , and the house and property were comfortable and suitable for all ages. We were thrilled to see papayas and bananas growing in the yard. The kitchen really is well equipped- we fell in love with the espresso machine. There are comfortable mattresses on all the beds and plenty of towels and bath supplies. The heated pool, hot tub, and grounds made being at home so much fun. Even when it was 56 degrees and raining we were in the pool, and it was still comfortable. The AL Acores management team was impressively responsive. We had a very minor plumbing issue which was fixed within hours. When we arrived there were diapers in the crib, which was very thoughtful, and when one of the kids needed to see a doctor, we got excellent advice and thoughtful followup check-ins. I've stayed in a lot of airbnbs, and this is definitely one of the best.

A peaceful spot to enjoy the island from. Check in and parking was easy and the apartment itself was very clean. It had everything we needed for a couple of nights and the garden/pool area was really nicely done!

A great and unique place to stay! Beautifully maintained. Given the age of the house, the wind can be heard/felt on windy/stormy days. This takes some getting used to. Please know that the house is situated in a beautiful park, with keys to access the park after opening hours. On the lake you can use kayaks, and there are also kids bikes in the shed.

The home is very beautiful and the pool area was pristine and idyllic! Sao Miguel weather is unpredictable so be mindful it may be too cold to use the pool. The closest restaurants are about 10 minutes away in Caloura. This area is extremely quiet so you will want to plan accordingly if you are looking for things to do!

This location was perfect as a home base for our trip to Sao Miguel. We had rented a car and any part of the island was less than an hour drive away. This made it very easy for us to get out hiking, eat at one of the various delicious restaurants across the island, explore one of the many beautiful beaches and then return home and still be within walking distance of Praia de Agua d’Alto if we wanted to keep going. If it’s a rainy day, you’re nearby Furnas and could easily enjoy some time in the thermal baths. Highly recommend booking if this great location is available for even a portion of your stay in the Açores!

Our stay here was nothing short of incredible. The location is unbeatable—waking up to the sound of the ocean and having panoramic views of the Atlantic from the property was a dream come true. The home was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The host was welcoming and responsive. We loved the outdoor space where we enjoyed coffee in the mornings and some drinks at sunset. It truly felt like a peaceful retreat tucked away in paradise. Being so close to nature made this the perfect base for exploring the beauty of São Miguel. We can’t recommend this place enough!

The house was perfect! Extremely clean, comfortable, spacious, and very thoughtful to every single detail. The 2 terraces with views of the Islet were a highlight. Marius and Carlos were communicative and gave excellent recommendations of restaurants and activities. The house is well-located in walking distance to many places in town, and easy driving distance to all points of interest on Sao Miguel island. Highly recommended!

We loved staying in this little cottage by the sea. The days watching the waves break on the shore, and the nights curled up by the fire with a film - it was truly a beautiful place. Parking is easy and free, and there's a choice of two local restaurants (note one of them is currently closed for renovation, but the other one has great food albeit with no sea view). The property itself is perfect for a romantic getaway to the sea. Hearing the waves rip onto the sand at night was a special experience, and there's a waterfall in walking distance too. I would also strongly recommend the municipal hiking trail which we tried on a whim, but ended up being one of the best hikes we did in the Azores - it starts right next to the house! Most importantly, I need to shout out to Joao and his team. We had an issue with the bathroom and he fixed it within 24h, despite it being a public holiday in Portugal that day. We really appreciated how hard he worked to get it all sorted so quickly. Kudos!
