About this property

Country Cottage - Cedros, typical Azorien Big House with garden and seaview

In the very quite countrysite you find an old farmhouse with a fantasic seaview, perfect for families with children, small groups or the lovely Holidays for two.
We renovated it for modern comfort but it is still a house with original character.
Hiking and discovering, enjoying nature, exploring the real life like the Azorian, watching the whales, taking a break from everyday life, swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, preparing fresh fish on the barbecue or having a nice meal nearby, a good book borrow from our library (German) and enjoy nature in the garden, there are so many possibilities. If you have any questions, the local administration can always help you. We recommend that you book a rental car at the airport.
Directly at the house but you can also explore the island without a car and just take one of the countless ways up the mountain or down to the village and continue to the cliff. Even the direct ascent to the caldera at 1,000 m altitude is possible.
You want to swim. The Beach Almoxarive is marvelous.
A special natural spectacle is the Capelihos, here the volcanic history of the Azores becomes clear.

Perfect place on Faial!

We can't thank Birgitta and Horst enough for their kindness and welcoming spirits. Their home was lovely with a wonderful view of the sea and special garden areas to feel like home. They gave us tips and tricks to ensure we had a lovely time on Faial. We would stay again anytime.

Erholsame Urlaubstage

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in dem Ferienhaus samt Garten genossen. Der Empfang war herzlich und unkompliziert. Birgitta und Horst Evertz leben in dem benachbarten Haupthaus und waren bei Fragen jederzeit ansprechbar. Alles ist in dem Ferienhaus vorhanden, was man braucht. Die Beleuchtung könnte in manch dunklen Ecken heller sein, insbesondere in der Küche. Das einzige, was wir vermissten, waren ein oder zwei bequeme Sessel, in denen man ein paar Stunden mit Lesen verbringen konnte. Im Garten gibt es eine Tisch-Bank Kombination mit schönem Blick zum Meer. Einen noch schöneren 180 Grad Meerblick hat man von der Mauer am Treppenaufgang zur Eingangstür. Dort saßen wir gern mit einer Kaffeetasse in der Hand und versuchten den Blas von Pottwalen zu entdecken. Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr ländlich und daher wunderbar ruhig. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind im Nahbereich vorhanden. In der großen Molkerei gibt es einen Hofladen mit sehr gutem Käse! Leider hatte das Restaurante Pasquinha in dem benachbarten Salao Betriebsferien. Der Levada-Trail beginnt ganz in der Nähe des Hauses, Capelinhos ist auch nicht weit und Bademöglichkeiten gibt es etliche. Und ansonsten ist Horta mit seinen schönen Sandstränden auch nicht weit. Schön wars- deshalb können wir das Haus nur empfehlen!!

Telaxing holiday in a stylishly renovated Azorean house

The house is located on a hill and the neighbours are mostly farmers. The house offers all necessary facilities and as a guest you can also use its beautiful garden. A small supermarket and a baker are within 5 min driving distance. The hosts are very helpful and friendly and gave us some good suggestions for trips to interesting places and for nice hikes. If you like a relaxing holiday in the Faial countryside we can recommend this house.

Amazing house!

My family and I spent 3 nights at the property and we enjoyed every single moment of the stay. The house is beautiful and full of history. In the morning we could hear cows and chickens. Very relaxing.

About the host

Hosted by Horst and Birgitta Evertz

Both of us worked in Berlin until April 2019, but now we spend most of our time there. If we ourselves are not on Faial because we both like to travel, you will be looked after by our German friends and neighbors.

Why they chose this property

Sea view and the then wild grown garden had taken us. An old stone house with a lot of history and endless possibilities. Since then we could not know that we would build 10 years and also in 1998, an earthquake with considerable destruction would throw us back. Still, we did not regret it.

What makes this property unique

As a city planner / architect I worked until 2019 in urban renewal. When buying in 1995, it was therefore a special charm to save an old farmhouse from decay and to build and prepare it as we ourselves would like to live. Maintaining the natural stone and making it visible in many places was just as important as using local woods. Last but not least, the house offered us the opportunity to furnish it according to our wishes.
