Ocean, a green island of volcanoes, and a house... And not just any house. Stylish, in the color of strawberry ice cream, with a huge garden where you can lose yourself while strolling in your pajamas. Luckily, the pool is always easy to find. The pink house wraps you in coziness like a warm blanket on a cloudy day. The interiors feature classic beams, and the rural vibe harks back to the barn it once was. You can choose a smaller apartment for two, or the main house, which fits up to seven people. No need for rose-colored glasses to see the world in positive hues here! A close encounter with whales and dolphins certainly helps. A walk along the black beach in Mosteiros, relaxation in hot springs, and a trip to the volcanic lakes of Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo, which look like they’re from another planet. This, in short, is the Azores.
