Host profile image
We’re Carla and Matt, a family with deep roots in São Miguel and two young children who love exploring the island’s nature, beaches, and charming villages. We’re excited to share our home with you and help you experience the best the Azores has to offer.

Casa Moderna is perfectly situated in the center of the island, just 20 minutes from Ponta Delgada and within easy reach of all the island’s top attractions. Our location is truly special—we’re between two of São Miguel’s best beaches, Praia dos Moinhos and Praia do Areal de Santa Bárbara, both just minutes away. You’ll also find two grocery stores within a 5-minute walk, making it easy to stock up on fresh local ingredients.

Within 20 minutes, you can be at the world-famous Chá Gorreana tea plantation, enjoying sweeping ocean views and a warm cup of tea. Local hot springs like Caldeira Velha and Furnas Valley are also close by, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. And right outside your door, you’ll find the walkable streets of Ribeira Grande’s historic downtown, with its cafés, shops, gardens, and cultural landmarks.

Our home blends modern amenities—air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, washer and dryer, outdoor barbecue and shower, and baby necessities like a pack-and-play and high chair—with traditional Azorean charm, creating a warm, welcoming space to relax after your adventures. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, walking along volcanic craters, or enjoying fresh seafood by the beach, Casa Moderna is your ideal island base.

We’re always just a message away for local tips, directions, or restaurant recommendations. Welcome to your perfect Azorean getaway!

—Carla & Matt
