LOCATION – CASA DA FONTE is located in the village of Algarvia, in the heart of the Northeast district, São Miguel, Azores. The Northeast is the kingdom of Pico de Vara, the highest point of the island of São Miguel and one of its oldest sites, as well as one of the best preserved and rich landscapes.



According to the local chronicles, this house was built as a family accommodation at a time of great development in the region due to the orange plantations. Later, at the end of the nineteenth century, this stone house was adapted as a primary school, the first in the village of the Algarve, until 1930. From then on it was used as one of the command posts of the Portuguese Legion during World War II. In 2008 it was restored and adapted as a rural tourism accommodation, respecting the architectural principles and equipped with the necessary furniture for the comfort and convenience of its guests.



DESCRIPTION – The house CASA DA FONTE is surrounded by the blue of the sea on the horizon and the deep green of the surrounding mountains. The stone house has a large garden area with some native plants, fruit trees and flowers such as azaleas, hydrangeas and camellias. This house has a traditional design, with the particularity of presenting a linear structure, with the kitchen at one end and followed by successive dependencies, something unique in the east of the island of São Miguel.



Inside, there is a mixture of elements of the past and the present: restored antique furniture that coexists harmoniously with contemporary pieces and modern equipment. The accommodation is adapted and equipped for guests with reduced mobility. It has a double bedroom, a living room with a traditional wood-burning stove, a fully equipped modern kitchen that includes a traditional wood-burning oven, and a bathroom. Outside the house there is a parking area, a croquet court and a covered area with barbecue.

    “Dieses liebevoll sanierte und liebevoll eingerichtete Steinhaus hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Alles ist sehr ordentlich und sauber. Von unserem Gastgeber wurden wir sehr nett in Empfang genommen. Sogar frisches Brot, Kekse und kleine Küchlein -alles hausgemacht- und vieles mehr, sodass man nicht gleich den nächsten Supermarkt suchen musste. Ein wunderschöner Garten mit Terrasse und Grill. Alles vorhanden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.”

    “Top Ausstattung (von Startfüllung Kühlschrank über Bademantel bis Strandschirm und Strandhandtücher alles vorhanden. Die tollen Mountainbikes haben wir dann angesichts der extrem vielen Steigungen doch nicht ausprobiert...), top Service (zweimal die Woche Reinigung incl. Handtuchwechsel), top Lage um den ganzen Ostteil der Insel abzuklappern. Von Ricardo gab es fast mehr Insidertips, als wir in einer Woche "abarbeiten" konnten. Geschlafen haben wir wunderbar, obwohl wir bei Matratzen und Lärmpegel eher empfindlich sind. Weder die Kirchenglocken noch die Kühe haben wirklich gestört. Und Dank Brotservice konnten die Tage entspannt beginnen. Die zweite Woche hatten wir ein Ferienhaus auf der Westseite der Insel und fanden das optimal so.”

    “House with character - absolutely clean, very well equipped and cozy! The view is really like the pictures show.
    Service is rather like in a 5* Hotel, with high quality bathrobes and bath shoes and all the food the host had prepared for us. The host is very kind and takes his time to passionately explain the options for excursions in the eastern area of Sao Miguel.”

    Comment from property owner :

    “Das Haus hat uns gut gefallen. Alles war sauber, die Ausstattung war gut. Uns war das Haus etwas zu dunkel. Wir waren im November da und das Wetter war nicht besonders gut, daher konnten wir den Außenbereich nicht nutzen und fühlten uns im Haus etwas "eingesperrt". Der Service durch Ricardo, mit vielen hilfreichen Tipps, war super! Vielen Dank noch einmal. Leider liegt das Schlafzimmer an der Straße, was für "Normalschläfer" überhaupt kein Problem ist (es fahren nur sehr sehr wenige Autos). Für Leichtschläfer wie mich, war es nicht so ideal. Das Haus liegt nicht wirklich in einem Ort, eher am Rand.”
