House of Rising Sun

Sensory Retreat Between the Mountains and the Sea
What truly sets this property apart is the seamless harmony between the raw volcanic energy of the Azores and a profound sense of tranquility. Located on the outer slopes of the iconic Sete Cidades crater in the charming village of Remédios da Bretanha, this home is more than just a place to stay, it is a sanctuary for the soul.
The Highlights of Your Stay:
The "Melody" of Basalt: The house is embraced by a natural stream where water trickles gently over basalt stone tiers. This constant, soothing sound of water against volcanic rock creates a natural "Zen" atmosphere that is incredibly rare to find.
A Symphony of Nature: Surrounded by lush, vibrant vegetation, the property is a sanctuary for local birds. Their enchanting songs provide a morning soundtrack that perfectly complements the peaceful environment.
A View to Remember: With multiple terraces at your disposal, you have a front-row seat to one of nature's greatest shows: the sun rising directly out of the Atlantic Ocean, painting the horizon in vivid colors.
Authentic Local Culture: Remédios da Bretanha is a small, close-knit community rich in traditions. The locals are "boa gente", kind-hearted and welcoming. If your visit coincides with our local "Festas," you will witness a vibrant display of music and heritage that is deeply moving.
Explore with Ease:
To the Crater Rim: One of our best-kept secrets is the path starting right from the house. You can hike or drive up to the crater’s rim to be dazzled by the legendary views over the Sete Cidades lakes.
Prime Location: We offer private on-site parking and immediate access to the main road that circles the island. Within 15-20 minutes, you can reach the natural thermal sea baths of Ferraria or the famous sunset spots and volcanic pools of Mosteiros.
Experience the real Azores, where the mountain meets the sea and the community welcomes you like a neighbor.
