Vítor Pacheco
Welcome! Here we provide you some information that may be helpful during your stay. Conveniently located within walking distance to Santa Barbara beach, this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom rustic modern home brings out the beauty of Sao Miguel's earth, sea and sky inside, featuring a tall volcanic rock fireplace, local wood beam ceilings, open concept kitchen with farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances. Perfect for a large family or two families as sleeps 8-10 people comfortably.
Hello, my name is Vítor and I am a simple down-down-to-earth guy that loves gardening. I was born, raised and currently living in the Azores but also lived in Bermuda and England, I like to think that living abroad opened my mind a bit. I love to host and go the extra mile for my guests although I can be a bit shy at first but then when comfortable with someone I become an easy going person, that loves to have a good laugh with good friends and family especially when wine is involved.
Our neighbourhood is quiet and yet very much alive having stores, restaurants, having live music in a few pubs in town, and the ease of having probably the best beach in Sao Miguel 10 minutes away.
