Welcome home.
The House
Casa BuonVento, located in the heart of Horta, Faial Island, Azores (Portugal) is an ancient house dating from the beginning of 20th Century. It was totally renovated in 2017 with respect for its original “soul” and charme, without compromising comfort. The rooms, all different from each other, are decorated with custom-made furniture created or restored with taste and imagination. Some of the rooms have a view of the Pico mountain and the sea. Available for the guests is a shared, fully equipped kitchen (tableware, cutlery, appliances) and a little lounge area with sofa, TV and books.
Within walking distance of the house you can find cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes. The Peter Café Sport with its Scrimshaw Museum, the dock and its colourfull “murales”, Porto Pim, Monte Queimado and Monte da Guia where you can enjoy a very pleasant view of Porto Pim bay. Also within walking distance is a shopping mall and a grocery store.
