Hotel Pico do Refúgio (Ribeira Grande, Portugal)

About Pico do Refúgio

Located in the Azores, on the north coast of the island of São Miguel, Pico do Refúgio is a mansion that dates the beginning of the XVII century. During the past three hundred years served it many different purposes, among these, fortress for militias, artist residence, orange tree plantations and tea factory. Now the doors open as Pico do Refúgio – Country Houses, a place where the harmony between Nature, Art, History and the Ocean can be enjoyed. There are 8 houses ranging in between 55 and 110 m² spread around two different areas of the farm. These are either “Lofts” or “Apartments. On the old tea factory “Ataíde”, you can find the Lounge as well as 3 Lofts and 3 Apartments. About 800 meters away, on the top of the hill (pico), near the main mansion, there are another 2 Lofts. The Lofts are larger, with a high ceiling and can take up 2 extra beds. The Apartments are smaller houses that can take only 1 extra bed. All our houses have bathroom, kitchen, WIFI and cable TV. Thanks to our Artist-in-Residence Program, the whole property is decorated with authors' works.
