Studio Formana  

On Florianópolis’s east coast in Lagoa da Conceição — a beachfront studio bed and breakfast with lagoon views. It’s a short walk to Praia Lagoa da Conceição and about a mile from Praia do Gravatá; Mole and Joaquina beaches are within easy reach. The city center sits roughly 11 km away and the airport about 12 miles.

Two cozy options: a studio for couples with an open-plan bedroom and kitchen, private shower and a terrace overlooking the lagoon; and a neat double with its own shower, sink and a terrace perfect for breakfast. Rooms include TV and CD/radio, fridge, plus air conditioning and heating. Hosts are multilingual and the property even has a private trail through the woods down to the Atlantic.

Free Wi-Fi and free private parking on site. Garden and terrace spaces, bike and car rental, a tours desk and staff who can arrange shuttles and transfers — plus a paid airport shuttle. Nearby diving club options and easy access for cycling and hiking; wake up to lagoon breezes and step straight into beach days.

Breakfast features local specialties, fresh fruit and juice, with breakfast-in-room available. The studio’s fridge makes light self-catering easy.
