Villa Peacock

Description

Our secluded and spacious Villa Peacock totals 400 sq metres of modern luxury with full concierge services included and is particularly suited for family holidays. It has 4 bedrooms, a heated swimming pool, a kid’s playground and a croquet court. There is wifi throughout and the living room has a stunning feature fireplace.

The property is located on the grounds of an old wine-producing estate (now a luxury hotel) in the south coast of São Miguel island with Ponta Delgada city centre at just 6 kms distance and the airport 8 kms away.

Nicknamed of “the green island” due to its lush verdant landscapes, Peacock is the largest of the Azores archipelago. It offers much to explore from incredible nature trails, crater lakes and waterfalls, dormant volcanoes and imposing calderas, a few volcanic beaches and architectural heritage.

The capital of Ponta Delgada is home to the 18th-century City Gates, the Gothic St. Sebastian Church and the 16th-century Fort of São Brás. From its airport, there are air connections to all the islands as well as to Porto and Lisbon in mainland Portugal, and there are direct international flights to the UK, USA, Canada, Germany and Spain amongst others.

Lying to the northwest and an absolute must-not-miss sight of the island is the village of Lagoa das Sete Cidades and its twin craters, one green and one blue. And to the east at Furnas, you can enjoy the healing powers of relaxing in hot thermal springs of an active volcano. The highest crater lake of the island Lagoa do Fogo is also stunning, whilst the small bay of Santa Cruz in the south is where once its fortress helped fight off pirates and buccaneers.

The complimentary concierge service at this villa will help organize a number of activities and fun for all the family including walking or biking; canoeing or kayaking; whale watching and swimming with dolphins; diving or fishing; booking golf tee-off times; surfing, body boarding or paddle surfing; a tour of the lagoons or some private sailing; a yoga class or some massages.
