As Santa Maria was the first island in the Azores to be colonised, it boasts older examples of these structures that have stood the test of time, thanks to a lack of historical volcanic activity and fewer earthquakes.
One person who visited the area said on Tripadvisor: “This place is gorgeous. I went one day and it was too foggy to get the best view, so I went back on a clear day. The guide said that the Azores can experience four seasons in a day. Fog is common. It’s a breathtaking place to see!”
Another commented: “Beautiful area even in the fog. Dense foliage still flowering. The teahouse featured Azorean teas and fresh pineapple.
“The coffee and nut gelato was scrumptious. Lovely eating area. Lots of active activities available: rental of kayaks and bicycles at Lakeside.”
A third added: “Breathtaking – they use this awful word so much in tourist brochures, but this view really does do it. Get there mid-morning to get the sunlight fully on the hillside, the houses and the sea. Glorious.”
