A hand-picked collection of places to stay: Authentic, Small-scale, One of a kind!
Mário and Filipa are island pioneers… coming from mainland Portugal, they were looking for ‘slow living’ and fell in love with São Miguel. This is where they wanted to live their 2nd life. Their first project are two tiny houses located in the north of the island a stone’s throw from the best (surf) beach. The houses are cosy and comfi with a small kitchenette. Should you want more space or a little more luxury, they also have some lovely villas scattered around the island.
The second Hideaway on São Miguel is located in a very special place: in the middle of a volcanic crater in the village of Furnas. The environment here is spectacular …. It is very green with lots of ferns and beautiful flowers, everywhere there are geysers steaming and hot springs bubbling. It creates a mysterious atmosphere and the village looks a bit like a film set. The biggest plus of this hotel is its own thermal springs (both indoors and outdoors), which guests can use 24 hours a day.
This Hideaway is located on the north side of São Miguel, the main island of the Azores. The small-scale luxury eco resort is right by the best surfing beach on the island, is spacious and has something for everyone. Whether you’re here with your family: two-bedroom villas for more space; or just the two of you: wonderfully quiet studios with a private garden, a Jacuzzi or a shared pool, it’s all possible. The architecture is beautiful and perfectly integrated into the natural environment. The earthy colours reflect the volcanic soil of the island and make it a unique hotel.
5-star luxury bang on the beach! You will find it at this Hideaway in Portimão, Portugal.
The main building exudes the atmosphere and grandeur of the past when a Portuguese businessman, made rich by the fish and canning industry, used to live with his family in this house and the interior was the setting for decadent parties and famous guests. Today, it is a haven for the luxury traveller and everything is done here to pamper you.
