This owner-managed hotel is located at the edge of the quaint fishing harbour of Caloura and a 15 minute uphill walk to the village of Água de Pau – less on the way back! From here you can hop on a bus to visit the coastal town of Vila Franca do Campo (8km) or to the capital city of Ponta Delgada (17km). The small sandy beach of 'Baixa d'Areira' is a 5-minute walk from the hotel (also accessible by car) and there are natural pools on the headland to which the hotel has access.
This family-friendly hotel has a magnificent setting on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea and is set against a background of small fields and vineyards.
The interior has spacious public areas, allowing guests to enjoy the fabulous views. Outside there is a freshwater swimming pool where clients can lounge on the sun deck and soak in the sun whilst enjoying a refreshing drink and light snack from the poolside bar.
This is a good choice for those seeking a coastal location in a quiet and relaxing setting. Car hire is recommended but not essential as there is a bus stop in the village and taxis can be quite economical if used occasionally.
