"Enjoying breathtaking panoramic views over Horta Marina and Pico Island, this elegant Faial retreat with sauna and jacuzzi offers a luxurious base for exploring the natural beauty of the Azores."
Scrimshaw House is perched just above Horta harbour on Faial Island and enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the Atlantic to Pico Island.
The rustic contemporary style of the villa blends naturally with the island’s landscape, shaped by volcanic activity, lush vegetation and sweeping ocean vistas. Exquisite solid wood plank floors throughout, state-of-the-art features and high-quality amenities are designed to offer a luxurious and relaxing stay. The rear-facing windows of the property benefit from a bucolic view uphill towards the Miradouro de Nossa Senhora da Conceição (viewpoint); and a short way up this hill, sits a raised stone terrace (old Eira) with stunning views, the perfect spot for a yoga session.
This well-appointed holiday rental makes an elegant home-away-from-home for a couple, small family, or group wanting to explore the natural beauty of the Azores. And after your adventures, you will want to unwind in the sauna, toast the sunset by the fire pit, cook up a feast at the fully equipped outdoor BBQ station, or soak in the Jacuzzi under the stars.
Often known as the “Blue Island,” Faial is famous for the hydrangeas that line its roads throughout spring and summer. The island has a relaxed and safe atmosphere year-round, becoming more vibrant between May and October when sailing boats and luxury yachts arrive at the legendary Horta Marina during the Atlantic sailing season.
Faial is also one of the best islands in the Azores for outdoor adventure. Guests can hike around the dramatic Caldeira do Faial crater, explore the extraordinary volcanic landscape of Capelinhos Volcano, relax on the island’s striking black-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters, or experience some unforgettable whale watching. A dedicated villa concierge service can help you make all your local arrangements and bookings.
Scrimshaw House is located just minutes from Horta’s marina and city centre, where you can visit the Scrimshaw (traditional art of carving whale bone) and Whaling Museums. Ocean lovers visiting the Azores will find Faial an excellent base for whale watching, and private boat trips can also be arranged to secluded swimming spots along the island’s coastline.
A regular ferry service connects Faial with neighbouring Pico Island, home to Portugal’s highest mountain and UNESCO-listed vineyards, making Scrimshaw House an excellent base for Azores Island hopping or a memorable two-centre holiday.
WARNING NOTES: Children under the age of 5 are not accepted; all children must nevertheless be supervised when using the jacuzzi and sauna, as well as around the grounds, as there are several unprotected drops.
