Situated
on the north coast of the island of São Miguel, the oceanside
estate known as the "Casa das Calhetas", dates back to
the 18th century (1723). The manorly house has always been the residence
of "Morgados".The view towards northeast reveals breathtaking
images of the Atlantic ocean, the north coast of the island and
of the "Lagoa do Fogo" moutain range. The view towards
southwest offers a completely different setting, ranging from one
of the most unique convents in the Azores to the estate's magnificent
secular garden. The house in itself is decorated in simplicity,
having maintained the characteristics of the wealthy rural houses
typical of the Azores.
