If you want to experience life in the country, Azorean style, this is the place to come! Although our welcome is purely English, our neighbours are all (equally purely) Azorean. You may see horses, oxen and donkeys working as pack animals, ploughing or pulling carts. During the local festivals ox-carts and even goat-carts are used to carry bread, wine and cheese in a decorative procession.
Located in the rural village of Pedro Miguel, we are just 10 minutes, by car, from the main town of Horta and all that it offers. From there you can go whale watching, swimming with dolphins, deep sea and sport fishing, diving and sailing. These are the main attractions, along with a visit to our spectacular crater, known as the "Caldeira", and the dramatic Capelinhos eruption site.
There are passenger ferries to Pico and Sao Jorge, allowing you to explore two more islands during your stay on Faial. Pico boasts the highest mountain in Portugal, a whaling museum and whaling factory and the recently opened lava tube caves. Sao Jorge is simply a beautiful, quiet island, ridged with volcanic craters and edged by cliffs sheltering pretty villages - the "fajas".
Let us introduce the island, our home and ourselves to you.
