About the host
Hosted by Cristina Brown
We bought this amazing large property in 2021, Casa Matriz because it was big and beautiful, and a real traditional Portuguese style home with all of the luxury and features one could possibly imagine. Often we visited Horta every year and we discovered that it was becoming very difficult to find a large property for rent where the entire family of 8 to people could all stay at together. So we were delighted when the opportunity arose that the former owners sold it to us. The home has been a vacation rental since 2013 and we want to continue this adventure as the new owners of Casa Matriz.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to find a vacation home large enough for all of our extended family and friends to come to in order to truly experience this amazing city of Horta. The other times of the year we wish to open up our vacation to travellers who wish to stay in the heart of the city in luxury, comfort.
What makes this property unique
