This was an entirely transporting setting, property, and staff. There are 21 rooms ensuring a peaceful intimacy with the stunning beauty of the island's southwest coast. As far as you can see up and down the coast there is nothing but ocean and farm. We were well coddled from beginning to end. I felt personally pampered. The restored substantial farmhouse, outbuildings, and stables were imaginatively redeployed as rooms, spas and restaurant/bar. A stone horse barn with the arched wall from a large stall separated our bedroom from the sitting area. Our ocean view room had a warm dipping pool with a private terrace that offered many seating options (chaises, swinging chair and cushioned chair), making it difficult to leave our room. The staff in the spa were highly professional and we enjoyed 4 different sessions, each a pleasure. There was absolute simplicity at every encounter...Elegantly unpretentious....We spent two magnificent days by the large perfectly clear pool overlooking the ocean, free from noisy crowds. I usually take a day or 2 to acclimate to a property. This was instant bliss from the moment I walked through the door. The owners are there daily with their 2 golden labs - a restorative bonus pleasure. I forgot to mention food- fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh breads - a different daily surprise that delight in taste and presentation...We ended up staying for 2 dinners on property....great Azorean wine recommendation....I simply can't praise this place enough.
