Our Farmhouse

Our house is situated on the outskirts of the quiet, rural village of Pedro Miguel, 15 minutes from the main town of Horta and 25 minutes from the airport. It is nestled into the side of a hill, with a stunning view of Pico from the top of the garden. The mountain's volcanic peak is frequently capped, framed or covered by fascinating cloud formations. The locals say that the "hat" Pico is wearing can foretell the weather.

The house is surrounded by garden, which is a rambling collection of cacti, succulents, shrubs, trees, flowers and, includes a vegetable garden, where produce is grown organically for our kitchen. Our free range chickens supply us with tasty eggs. We also have a cat called Bess, two dogs, Meg and Hooch, and a horse called Nina.

Our rustic farmhouse can accommodate four adults in two rooms, a double and a twin, or the double can become a family suite, with two children in an adjoining room. Both double and twin have en suite bathrooms. The self-catering chalet is situated at the top of the garden, enjoying the fabulous view of Pico. This has a double room, shower room, kitchen/diner and sitting room. The latter can become a second bedroom by the use of the two bed-settees. There is a purpose-built barbecue area for outside cooking and dining.

We hope you will "make yourselves at home" during your stay. The only "house rule" is that you enjoy yourselves! Relax in our comfortable lounge - where tea and coffee making facilities, and a small fridge are available.

Customer comments from our 2007 guestbook

What a fantastic view of Pico from the summerhouse! This is a wonderful location. You are surrounded by friendly and nice animals - a horse, dogs, chicken with chicks, a cat, frogs…..especially the dog "Hooch" made us feel like coming home. Everything was perfect…….. Lesley and Alan, thank you so much for your friendliness and warm hospitality. We felt we were living in paradise for 10 days. (…another sense very special for us....this is our honeymoon!) H & M W, Germany.

Good to be back! Enjoying again the beauty and pace of the island, the breathtaking views, the flowers and the beautiful dolphins and (breaching!) whales. The perfect place to relax from a busy life….and last, but not least, the great hospitality! Lesley & Alan, thanks and tot ziens! JP, S & S, Netherlands.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with excellent walking and generous hosts. We were lucky with our whale watching trip seeing many sperm whales, striped dolphins, common dolphins and risso's dolphins. Cory's shearwaters in abundance. We will miss Faial and Azores High. A & A, UK.
