Description
WE AS A FAMILY,

WE DISCOVERED a Noble House from the end of the 19th century. The house was uninhabited and the garden abandoned!

WE DREAMED to recover the house and to preserve the culture. To reclaim the garden is to preserve nature.
To be able to engage everyone in this journey is to keep alive the old spirit of the house!

WE CREATED our Hostel & Family where we host our passion of turning each stay into an unique experience through the Azores!

Magda is 10 out of 10! :) She is an energetic polish girl with a latin soul always ready to dance and sing and to cheer up the whole room with her big smile. It's great to have her around!
