Description
Reconnect with yourself and nature in this eco-concept villa, located on the southern island of the Azores archipelago. Surrounded by marigolds, aromatic herbs and the medicinal flora native to Santa Maria, this home sits in harmony with the macrocosm around it - even the skylight opens up to a living roof of edible plants for you to make tea infusions from.
The central space is a welcome oasis with raw-finished walls, local wood furnishings, a custom-made sofa situated for prime sunrise viewing and a music system for accompanying the scene. The villa provides you with access to the outside from every room for 360-degree vistas of the volcanic landscape, azure blue sea and Cypress trees. Spend the morning exploring your private forest or arrange a workshop to learn about the island’s native bees and honey production. Using the pure, floral honey from your workshop, prepare a marinated barbecue feast outside in your sun-soaked, open-air dining room. Cool off after lunch in the curvilinear stone bath or if you’re feeling like a dip in the ocean, drive a short seven minutes to the white sands of Praia Formosa. Revitalised, head off to Ribeira de Maloás for unforgettable views of the basalt columns and enchanting waterfall.
Come evening, you’ll want to return to your serene retreat to sink into your sheets and watch the volcanic cliffs submerge the sun.
