The Cottage will open from January 1 2023 | BOOKING ENQUIRIES
Step into a beautifully, and carefully restored, Azorean farmhouse cottage on the Solar Branco Eco Estate. This is a perfect, romantic place for couples, a place to spend your time while here on the island of São Miguel. The first thing you hear is nothing but the quiet breeze of the Atlantic winds bristling through the willow tree at the back of the property. Wander through the green Azorean landscape, glance across the rolling hills to the ocean beyond. This comfortable studio apartment effortlessly mixes modern design and showcases over 100 years of Azorean history.
You will find a complimentary bottle of locally made wine on arrival. As a guest of the estate, you are welcome each day in The Gin Library for a complimentary Gin and Tonic. Guests also receive a 20% discount on all estate experiences. A guide to the sights, local-only tips and favourite restaurants is also supplied (we are happy to make dinner reservations as required).
Accommodation: Your accommodation has large windows to allow light into the cottage as well as shutters for sleeping. Views across the private gardens to the farmland and ocean beyond. The studio space features a king-size bed, couch and chairs. A kitchen (with fridge and hotplate), as well as cooking utensils, are on hand for meals you wish to cook. A luxurious rain shower and stylish bathroom complete the accommodation.
Breakfast: A fresh breakfast, made of local ingredients and produce is included and left outside your door each morning. Please inform us of any requests or dietary requirements before you arrive.
Location: Located 5-minutes drive from Ponta Delgada, Ali and Caroline will meet you and show you around the cottage and estate.
Experiences: Guests also receive a 20% discount on all estate experiences. We are happy to book other experiences from our handpicked partners for activities such as whale watching, horse riding, hikes or fishing amongst other activities. Each has been vetted for sustainability and environmental impact, to ensure that they are the best in class on the island. Contact us anytime for more details.
