About this property

Hidden paradise between the sea and the mountains. Casa Cidalisa is ideal for 4

Relax in this peaceful villa, with a garden and backyard, between the ocean and the mountains. A bedroom and living room with views of the Atlantic and Santa Maria Island. Ideal for four people.
Água Retorta is the most remote village on the island of São Miguel. You are 75 minutes from João Paulo II Airport, 40 from Furnas, 25 from Ponta da Madrugada and 15 from Ponta do Sossego and Pôr-do-Sol viewpoints.
There are nine walking trails nearby. The circular route of Água Retorta (PRC13 SMI) is at the door. It is moderately difficult, 4.8 km long and takes 2 hours.

TOURIST TAX: Please be advised that the Municipality of Povoação charges a tourist tax of 2.00 € per guest (over 12 years old) per night, only for the first three nights. Therefore, the amount of 6.00 € per "adult" must be paid to us in cash upon arrival.

Um local tranquilo, sossegado e reservado — perfeito para relaxar. Localização ideal para explorar essa parte da ilha, de Furnas a Nordeste. Anfitriões muito acolhedores e prestativos. Damos nota 12/10 pela limpeza exemplar! Não se esqueça de fazer compras antes de chegar; não é uma vila turística, e o mercado mais próximo fica em Povoação. Várias trilhas nas proximidades. Uma mudança de ares completa!
