Small Boutique hotels in AZORES

These nine Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic make up a spectacular paradise of floating nature. At 1,400 km west of Lisbon is the largest, São Miguel. It offers impressive possibilities such as the Boca do Inferno lookout point, or taking a dip in natural pools of volcanic rock, in Ferraria.

The volcanic origin of the archipelago is manifested in its cones and craters. One example is on the island of Pico, with the highest mountain in Portugal of 2,252 meters high. See the surprising volcanic vineyards, which are classified as World Heritage. Discover what is inside the volcanic crater that originated the island of Covo: the magnetic lagoons of Caldeirão.

The beauty of the historic center of Angra do Heroísmo, on the island Terceira, has earned it the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The lookout point of Rocha dos Bordões on the island of Flores is another spectacular landmark. In Graciosa, known as the granary of the Azores, the old red-roofed mills stand out. Faial is the island to swim with dolphins. São Jorge is the only place of the entire archipelago where clams grow. Santa María offers splendid beaches.

In addition to the delights of the delicious local cuisine such as alcatra of Terceira or cozido das caldeiras , made with the earth's own warmth, in Furnas, we must also consider the charming hotels in unique enclaves.
