ED Refnr. 2898352

LOCATION –The CASA DO TANQUE house is located in the village of São Pedro de Nordestinho, in the heart of the Nordeste district, Sao Miguel, Azores. Nordeste is the kingdom of Pico de Vara, the highest point of São Miguel and one of the best preserved and richest landscape of the island. It can be compared to a typical Swiss landscape due to the rare beauty of its gardens and the arrangements on the banks along the roadsides. Nordeste is the doorway to peace and the contemplation of nature.

The main building was used as a home and comprised a ground floor along with a one-window attic, divided in two bodies with two different coverings and perpendicularly-orientated roofs. In the surroundings of the stone house, there was an agricultural annex, used to support farming activities. Both buildings surrounded a patio (that named the complex), which had direct access to the road and where the pig pens and the latrine were located.

HISTORY – The CASA DO TANQUE belongs to a complex of two houses called The Casas do Pátio. The constructions that currently form the “Casas do Pátio” complex (“Casa do Tanque” and “A Arribana”) were built during the second half of the 19th century, following the typical architecture of the area where they are located, and it takes part of a 1500 m² plot of land which has been turned into a garden.

The stone house interior features very unsophisticated and simple characteristics, with the oven/chimney set, the typical wooden cabinet built into the wall and the wooden stairs leading to the attic standing out. CASA DO TANQUE has two double rooms, a living-room with a traditional wood stove and a fully equipped modern kitchen, and a bathroom. Outside the accommodation there is a parking area, a croquet court, a covered area with barbecue and a pool, from where it is possible to enjoy wonderful sunsets.

For the entertainment of its guests, the CASA DO TANQUE provides, at no additional cost, cable TV, DVD player, HI-FI sound system, a small library, indoor games, two bicycles and a croquet court.
