ocated at the western end of Terceira Island, in the peaceful parish of Serreta, about 22 km from the UNESCO city of Angra do Heroísmo, Casa das Artes offers a breathtaking view and a unique immersion in nature. The outdoor space overlooks the ocean and the islands of Graciosa, São Jorge and Pico, while the spacious interior — spread across two floors, each with its own bathroom — ensures comfort and privacy for groups and families. All rooms are large and airy, making the house particularly pleasant even when occupied by several guests. It's an ideal retreat for those looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the slower rhythm of the Azorean countryside. Surrounded by forest and located in a higher, rural area, the house is in close contact with nature — which sometimes means the presence of a few unexpected visitors like ants or even the occasional centipede. Spider webs can appear within hours, despite thorough cleaning before each stay. This is part of the charm and authenticity of staying in the Azores countryside. As with many traditional houses on the islands, some humidity may be present, especially during wetter seasons. We recommend keeping the windows open whenever possible to keep the space fresh and dry — and closing them if the fog rolls in, as moisture settles quickly. If you're looking for an authentic Azorean experience, with space, silence and a deep connection to nature, Casa das Artes is the perfect choice.
