Located on the western tip of Flores Island in the Azores, Fajã Grande is one of the most idyllic villages in the archipelago. This remote paradise is known for its rugged coastline, lush vegetation, and the serenity it exudes. Here, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, lies a charming traditional house that blends perfectly into the natural splendour of its surroundings.
The house, built in the authentic Azorian style with white walls and a roof of red tiles, is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. Behind the house, green mountains stretch out, covered with flowers and ferns. In front of the house is the vast Atlantic Ocean, whose waves beat rhythmically against the cliffs. The fresh sea air and the sound of the water create a sense of complete tranquillity.
In the distance, you can see waterfalls crashing from the cliffs, a typical feature of Flores, also known as the "flower island". The light of the late afternoon sun reflects on the water, creating a magical effect. Fajã Grande is a place where you feel the pace of life slowing down, a haven for those seeking natural beauty and simplicity.
