THE AZORES, OUR GROUND FOR GENTLE LIVING
One of the most remote archipelagos in the middle of the Atlantic, the Azores stand 1500 kms from the coast of Portugal. A diamond in the rough, the nine islands are graced with a tropical atmosphere and are the closest point of Portuguese land to the United States of America.
The Azores are a sanctuary of natural wonder, where green and diverse landscapes meet crystalline water in a mesmerizing dance of the elements. A place where time seems to stand still, yet all four seasons can be felt in a single day, and one can fully immerse itself within the gentle living of the islands.
From its misty peaks hovering over the volcanic craters, to its lush valleys carpeted by flora, unveiling undiscovered paths, the Azorean landscape exudes an otherworldly charm that captivates the soul.
Here, everything seems more authentic, filled with unparalleled charm. From interactions with the locals, to a strong cultural heritage, and how their exchange becomes an ode to nature. Guided by the core of the Atlantic, transforming mundane routines and moving each detail in unison. Deeply embedded emotions, hidden in long kept secrets drawn from the depths of our land.
Azores is pure, magic, a place where the grandioseness of nature overtakes the simplicity of man-made ideals. Our ground, our home.
