“CASA VALE DO SOSSEGO” (QUIET VALLEY HOUSE) is a Cottage located in the small and peaceful village of Santo António, 15km away from Ponta Delgada, offering a magnificent view of the sea and of the natural landscape of the north coast of the island of São Miguel, Azores. The rural character of the location of Quiet Valley House ally, bucolic characteristics of the house and its proximity to bathing areas make the house the perfect place for a holiday in full contact with nature, where you can reinvigorate yourself. The entire construction of the house is marked by the typical volcanic stone of the Azores, the basalt. The rawness of basalt that takes us to remote stories is contrasted by the comfort that the house provides our guests in all its divisions. The House consists of 3 floors. In the entrance floor there is a reception, a common room where we have installed 2 individual beds (plus 1 extra bed) and a double room with private bathroom. On the 1st floor there is a double room with private bathroom, the living room and Dining / Breakfast - room and kitchen. The last floor has 3 bedrooms -1 bedroom with double bed and 2 bedrooms with twin beds, served by a shared bathroom.

I come from mainland, the city of Porto, but I live in the Azores in Ponta Delgada, for over a decade. I fell in love with the Azores and it's magical islands and the force of nature have captivated me year after year . Hospitality has been the way that our family - myself, my wife and our son - uses now to express and to discover new horizons and new challenges. As hosts, we have made the art of receiving our passion. It is truly exciting, the diversity of cultures and people that we get in touch - we enjoy the company of our guests and at the same time, we feel the pulse of a diverse world, although we live in an island in the middle of the Atlantic. The strategic location of both the Manor House where we live on the south coast and centred on the island of São Miguel, whether the Cottage in the quiet village of San Antonio, on the north coast, is another "ingredient" for a unique and unforgettable vacation.

On the one hand, we have the picture of the sea and the church tower, dotted by whales and dolphins playing in the distance. On the other hand, we feel the slow bustle of an Azorean village where the House is centred, surrounded of small businesses, local authorities and the people who live their day-to-day. There is Public transport near the house, especially in connection to Ponta Delgada. It is advisable however a rental car either due to low frequency of transport or because of the need to move around the island. You can park near the house free of charge. Facilities - a 5 minute walk our guests have at their disposal: - A bathing area consisting of a natural swimming pool (with lifeguard in high season) and the harbor of Santo António for fishing. - A privileged area of diving and deep sea fishing. - A perfect place for artisanal fishing - The “Rosário” picnic area, ideal for a meal next to the sea, equipped with grills and overlooking the north coast of the island. - Grocery stores and other businesses and establishments.
