Location: Angra do Heroismo, Terceira, Azores, Portugal, Europe (15 Min Airport and Major City; Walking dist to ocean)
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms + Loft + Office, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 5-10)
5 Bedroom Home with a 180 degree view of the Atlantic Ocean to the South.
The house is spacious with five bedrooms. Each has a double/queen bed. The two bedrooms downstairs each have full private bathrooms. Upstairs the three bedrooms share a full bathroom and a sitting room.
On the main (first) floor there is a balcony/porch that wraps around the front and sides of the house. From this balcony, you have a greater than 180 degree view of the ocean, with the Ilheus das Cabras to your left and Monte Brasil to your right. There is also a patio outside the kitchen, with tables and chairs for entertaining. Beyond the patio are small gardens with hammocks in case you need a mid-afternoon nap.
Just a short walk down the road will bring you to natural swimming pools. Since the island is volcanic, there are very few sandy beaches. Instead there are designated areas where people can swim in mini rock pools. The swimming area at the bottom of the street is a local swimming spot, but there are many others that are worth a visit.
The house is optimally situated in Serretinha, right outside the main city of Angra. It's only a 5-10 minute drive to the port and the downtown areas. Angra do Heroismo has been designated by UNESCO as an historical town. Almost every other part of the island can be accessed in under 30 minutes. Praia da Vitoria is a 25 minute drive.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
I was born and raised in the Island of Terceira. I moved to the United States when I was 15 years old. I have three children. My husband is from Irish descent.I am an attorney with a practice in the State of New Jersey where I live.
I have seen many beautiful places in the world, but I always find the Azores to be amazing. For that reason, I decided to build a house in my place of birth. You will find my home to be your "home" It is charming and comfortable. As my friends who stay there often say "Your home has good karma"
Thank you for reading my rental ad.
