On the Azores, we play with colors—seafront blues, lush garden greens, and fiery orange sunsets. If you're after postcard-perfect views, this is the front row seat. With a cup of tea on the terrace, the ocean outside your window, and palm trees swaying in the breeze.

A historical stone house and former barn on São Miguel Island has been transformed into modern self-catering apartments. Each morning, a breakfast basket awaits guests, and the vast garden offers fresh fruit to snack on and rabbits to spot.

You could stay in all day, but it’s worth venturing out. Just a short distance away, you'll find the famous Sete Cidades lakes—a true natural wonder where one shimmers emerald green and the other sapphire blue. For those seeking relaxation, the hot springs of Termas da Ferraria are nearby, offering a soak in naturally heated waters with an ocean view.
