About the host
Hosted by Marius Goedert
My wife was born and raised on São Jorge, and our family returns here every summer. Casa de São João is part of that tradition — a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simplicity of island life.
We don’t live on the island year-round, but we love sharing this peaceful home with respectful travelers. Our trusted local contact is nearby if you need anything during your stay.

Why they chose this property
Fajã de São João is one of the most peaceful, authentic places on the island. It's surrounded by cliffs, ocean, and silence.
We love the hiking trails, the small swimming harbor just 150 meters away, and the slow pace of life here. It’s a place where the rhythm of nature sets the tone for your day.

What makes this property unique
Casa de São João offers full privacy, oceanfront views, and unforgettable sunsets over Pico. The layout is ideal for families or couples traveling together — with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms spread over two levels.
The house is simple but warm, combining local character with comfort. What makes it truly special is the location: it feels remote and untouched, yet not too far from the island’s essentials.
