A lovingly restored traditional house, Casa Via d’Água is a self catered accommodation located in the heart of Fajã Grande. The seaside village is located on an area of flat fertile land at the bottom of an imposing volcanic cliff that has been cut through by water flow creating a magical array of waterfalls surrounding the village. The waterfalls glisten in the sunlight and create sprays of water as they meet the Atlantic winds. It is no wonder this area is considered one of the most beautiful in the Azores.
This charming house can only be reached by a short footpath, ensuring peace and privacy. It sits surrounded by its own garden and neighbouring fields, with wonderful views of the countryside stretching up to the dramatic cliffs beneath which Fajã Grande nestles. You can see the orange glows of sunset, tumbling mist over the cliffs, wild waves and winds and blistering sunshine all in one day from grounds of the house.
The house is close to the all the local amenities including small shops, restaurants, bars and the sea (port & swimming area). Whilst a guest at Casa Via d’Agua you will have access to all the hikes and activities available through our trusted partners and tour operators.
Casa Via d’Água was restored by Pierluigi Bragaglia and Luísa Madruga. Pierluigi Bragaglia, has produced an eclectic collection of works sharing a common historical background. “Flores, Azores – Walking through History – A guide to the island’s paths and past”, is the author’s most recent work. Some of Luísa’s contributions to the native autonomous region of the Azores include writing her Master’s thesis on Ecotourism in the Azores, the co-authoring of the successful Candidature of Flores Island as an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and, most recently, the assessment of Key Biodiversity Areas in Macaronesia (Azores included), acting through the BEST Initiative of the European Union. The house is now owned by George Bevan a director at Conservation Diver, a scientific diving organisation that aims to create the next generation of action orientated marine conservationists.
