The holiday home lies on the top of a hill in a large ground stretching downhill over 10.000 SQM. From almost every window of the house and from the terraces you have an exceptional view over the hills and valleys of the Santa Barbara parish. Sunbathing, a place to eat with comfortable benches and chairs and a barbecue create an outdoor living room. The 2016 Completely renovated Historic House awaits you with a tasteful high quality equipment and offers all comfort possible to guarantee you a recreational stay. In the comfortable interior you immediately feel well and like “at home“. The house is supplied with an air-conditioning. In winter, if necessary, you may use the wood stove or the air-conditioning for heating.

Since I came to Santa Maria Island for the first time in 2005, the island has enchanted me. The friendly, helpful people, the original nature and the breathtaking landscape have inspired me. The island of Santa Maria is beautiful all year round, for a beach holiday I recommend June to October, for a hiking holiday and to enjoy the peace and the nature, you can fly all year to Santa Maria.

Casa Emilia lies in the charming country of east Santa Maria. The village of Santa Barbara is the starting point for hikes through untouched nature. In the village of Santa Barbara you will find a café and a mini supermarket. The most beautiful bay of the Azores (as it it is said), São Lourenço, is only a few minutes drive away with its sandy beaches and a large seawater swimming pool.
