Solar dos cantos

Home, garden and a wonderful botanical legacy.

Solar dos Cantos is a family home surrounded by 1.5 hectares of botanical garden. Just a 15-minute walk from Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel, Azores, it is a true haven of well-being. Here, greenery envelops us and the birdsong harmonizes with the serene urban landscape and the horizon overlooking the ocean.

Modern and vintage hand in hand.

The natural elements and tones echo the lush gardens, creating a perfect harmony between past and present. The 15 rooms, modern in terms of comfort and design, were conceived to bring the outdoors indoors, with contemporary décor complemented by selected vintage pieces from the property's 19th-century collection.

A hidden gem

"The property itself is beautiful, with lush green gardens and excellent city views. The rooms are clean, spacious and modern, yet retain an old-world charm. The rooms are well-equipped and the staff do an excellent job of keeping the rooms clean and well-maintained (...)."

I really enjoyed my stay.

"The hotel is quiet and clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. We had to leave the hotel early due to our flight schedule, so it was great to have breakfast available at 6 am. The garden and pool were beautiful. I really enjoyed my stay!"

Breakfast was a 10/10.

"Everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail; the room was spotless—the towels and sheets smelled wonderful! The view of the 280-year-old ficus tree was magnificent, as was the garden. Breakfast was also top-notch."
