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.
Celine and Julien were looking for slow living with their family… a Hideaway under the sun where they felt at home, surrounded by nature but not too far from the city. And so they found a fantastic old Mas, Catalan farmhouse, where they could realise their dream. A fine guesthouse where you can relax and where the senses are opened up. But where there is also plenty of room for Celine’s wonderful cooking, because this passion certainly finds its place here with a selection of fresh herbs, edible flowers and as many 0-km products as possible.
