The property had everything what we were looking for. It was spacious, safe, clean with with beautiful views. There are plenty of restaurants in the walking distance. Also you can buy everything you need in the local grocery shop. Place is close to the downtown and beaches. There is no located parking, however you can always find a parking spot near the building. Overall, we had an amazing experience.

I love it when I find natural frames like this one, shot from inside a cave at Parque Terra Nostra in Furnas, São Miguel.

The beautiful garden is built over a massive 10 hectares and it would be quite easy to spend the best part of a day here. There are walking trails, waterfalls, and a massive amount of plants and flowers to photograph and enjoy.

Definitely one of the best photo spots on the island if you're into nature and fancy yourself as a bit of a botanist 🌿🌺
