The Cão & Calf is a boutique guesthouse, perched upon a central high point within the village of Fajã Grande, boasting panoramic views of the this wild settlement’s ocean, beach, cliffs and waterfalls.
As a guesthouse we have tried to create a environment where travellers can meet and enjoy our facilities within beautiful surroundings, as well as being able to retreat to their own private spaces. On such a remote island, the importance of community is built into the fabric of the Florentino’s. We aim to replicate this same spirit and culture so that travellers feel this connection when staying with us, rather than the isolation of a hotel room.
We offer 5 private accommodations:
- The Lola suite, with private bathroom, lounge area and balcony

We do our best to prevent any unpleasantness but promise to respond quickly to restore order 🙂
