A "VILLAGE" IDEAL FOR FAMILIES
In the summer of 2015, we dreamt to build a small village on Pico Island, ideal for family vacations. The option fell on the north coast of the island, for the superb views it offers. An area was chosen in the parish of Santo Amaro, Terralta because it still has very little lodging and especially taking advantage of the excellent location, a unique landscape, cultural heritage, and environmental surroundings, where calm and tranquility predominate on the natural environment.
The view to the West allows to observe the whole bay of Santo Amaro ... and allows to see the top of the mountain of Pico, in a day of little cloudiness.The grounds were chosen for their natural beauty, flora and the existence of several ruins, which give a picturesque tone to the enterprise. The development is crossed longitudinally by a canada - Way of the Voltas - that belongs to the Railings of the Azores - Pico. The canada was kept untouched, with the integral preservation of the floor and the walls. On the grounds were two ruins of old houses, as well as some ruins of animal pens.
Our positioning is based on the conservation of nature, environmental quality and the safeguarding of the historical-cultural heritage and local identity. All housing units are equipped with photovoltaic panels, heating is done by salamanders to pellets, cooling is done by natural ventilation, water tanks have been kept for use in the irrigation, and the drinking water served is filtered local water by an active carbon system.
