Everything happened somewhat by chance when Catarina and Joao Reis came across an old summer house during a hike, part of a wine production property on the southern coast of Sao Miguel.Passionate about creating unique places with spectacular views, they decided to build an exceptional hotel on the island while preserving the main architectural features of the ancient building.

Each room is unique and different from one another. The Junior Suites, which are located in the newest part of the building, and the Unique Suites are on the ground floor and have direct access to the outdoor spaces and the swimming pool.The Unique Suites were built where the manor house once stood, and many of the older elements were preserved, such as the walls made of basalt stone, the stone arches that frame the ceiling of the old wine cellar, and the old kitchen’s fireplace.
