Alma - Island House

Between valleys and hills, and a breath filled with soul.
In the heart of the picturesque village of Faial da Terra, on the island of São Miguel, you’ll find this carefully restored century-old house, where history and modernity meet in perfect harmony.
With privileged views over the stream, the ocean, and the surrounding mountains, this space invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in the tranquility of Azorean nature. Just a short walk from the sea, and surrounded by small local shops, cafés, and bars, the location blends the best of rural authenticity with everyday convenience.

Once the parish council headquarters and the village dispensary, this house carries a unique legacy deeply rooted in local history. Its renovation, led by Azorean architect Wilson Melo - Studio Millenniarch, respected the original structure, preserving the building’s identity while introducing contemporary comfort and functionality.

The result is a space of simple, elegant lines, thoughtfully designed, where every detail reflects balance, serenity, and refined taste.

Ideal for families or travelers seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of sophistication, this accommodation is perfect for those who value proximity to the sea, nature, and a sustainable lifestyle. The project incorporates conscious solutions, with a focus on renewable energy and respect for the surrounding environment.

More than just a stay, this is an authentic experience—where time slows down and the true essence of the Azores reveals itself.
