Azores Luxury Property: Ponta Delgada Unit 2

A cozy one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with a well equipped kitchen, original volcanic arches, and local handmade tiles.

Ponta Delgada Luxury Units: Sustainability + Great Location 

In both building and operating our house, we have tried to be as eco-friendly as possible. The house is powered by solar panels, and the hot water heaters and heating/cooling units are powered by energy-efficient heat pumps. We hope to add a composting system soon.
We’ve tried to use local materials when possible. The kitchen tiles are handmade in the nearby town of Lagoa and the terra cotta tiles are made in mainland Portugal. The furniture is all handmade made by local artisans, including some by Arrisca, which is a non-profit who employs economically and socially disadvantaged Azoreans to make furniture.

The house is located in Ponta Delgada and is walking distance to the city center. There is a wonderful restaurant a few doors down, and most of the other tasty restaurants in Ponta Delgada are within a 15 minute walk. Our street is lively and full of friendly locals who have been wonderful to us during the renovation project.


Azores Luxury Property: São Roque Townhouse 

This luxury townhouse in São Roque has one bedroom, an office and two full baths. The spacious one bedroom has an en suite bathroom that includes a sizable bath tub. The bedroom’s sliding doors open onto a large terrace with sea views. The office/work out room includes a desk, yoga mats and weights.

The living area is an open concept with living room that lows into a large dining room and well-equipped kitchen. Off the kitchen is a small laundry room with new washer and dryer and another full bath. The living room and bedrooms have A/C and heating units.

There is also a large patio terrace, barbecue and garden. The townhouse is in Sāo Roque on the walking/bike bath. Only a 15 min (1.1km) walk to the beach in Sao Roque and a 25 minute (1.7km) walk to port of Ponta Delgada.
