The house, which sits on a small hill, boasts a magnificent panorama, which includes agricultural fields, the Peak of Matias Simão, and the sea. This extraordinary natural landscape can be enjoyed from various rooms in the house, which is designed to combine indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. The living and dining rooms have direct access to a delightful porch and garden to the rear. The kitchen, with a breakfast area, has two windows with views to both sides of the house. The house can accommodate up to six people comfortably in three bedrooms. The first bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a dressing room. The second has two twin beds, and the third a queen-sized bed. The second and third bedrooms each have built-in closets and share a separate bathroom. There is also a powder room and a laundry room. The decoration includes unique objects from the owners' private collection, from countries such as Turkey, Brazil, the USA, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, as well as engravings of the Azores. The artwork reflects the link between the Azores and the world: the island enjoyed a geostrategic location and historically acted as an important staging post for those sailing between the old and new worlds. This house reflects an ethic of environmental sustainability through its energy efficiency. It includes a thermodynamic panel water heating system, a fireplace with heat distribution to the bedrooms, A-rated energy appliances, and low-consumption light bulbs. It also has a recycling system and a composter for plant-based food. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, toaster](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111520000/111518200/111518160/adf2f297_edited_626b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Biscuit House T2 by PontaNegraAzores Praia da Vitória - Kitchen - Washer - Microwave - Living/dining area [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=111518160&PinnedHotelID=111518160&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
