★ The Refuge ★ Ideal Families | Loft | Wood oven | Along Silveira Beach Area
THE HOUSE
We love our home! The property is spacious and has a contemporary feel. You can hear the birds sing softly in the morning, relax in the hammock at the bottom of the garden or have a barbecue with friends or family.
THE MAIN ROOM
Whether after a hot day at the beach, an exciting "ocean safari" or a stunning trail - our spacious queen size home with a large dream mattress and built-in suit will make you feel at home - with no bags in sight!
THE BUNCHES
In the Master Bedroom you will find a special feature of our home. When renovating the house, we converted an inconvenient storage area into fantastic horizontal bunk beds. Although we love the perspective and feeling up there, this area was designed with children up to 16 in mind. If you disagree, we won't tell anyone ...
THE FAMILY ROOM
This will probably be your first stop when you arrive at your new home. For us personally, this is one of the most special areas in the house. It brings together excellent natural light, a comfortable corner sofa, a 55-inch 4K TV, a dining table and a special area on the mezzanine.
THE MEZANINE (LOFT)
This fantastic space is very flexible. Its wooden floor and generous amount of blankets, pillows and puffs - on a queen size futon mattress - make it the perfect relaxation area * or * a spare room for the youngest. One way or another - you will love the experience!
THE KITCHEN
For us, food is very important - not just for the food itself but for the occasion. Therefore, our kitchen is a real kitchen, with everything you need to cook your meals, if you want. Includes an electric oven, induction hob, fridge, microwave, cookware and various other utensils. Salt and pepper are on the house!
THE BATHROOM
There is no way to replace an immersion bath. Our bathroom is equipped with a spacious bathtub and an adjustable shower column. But please remember that there is a lot to see on the island too! The bidet is not so addictive, but it is also quite practical.
THE COURTYARD
It is possible that this will be the space that you will remember the most! We lost track of the evenings spent here with friends and family under the sunset and starry sky. That perfect barbecue, crispy bread or the famous rump - are all possible at "Palheiro da Avó". This outdoor kitchen has a barbecue, wood oven and wood stove, along with a small dishwasher with hot water. We provide a table and chairs for 6 people and local partnerships that allow you to see how some of the most traditional dishes from Terceira are prepared, using the authentic wood oven.
PROPERTY
On the right side of the house there is an access ramp where you can park up to 3 cars inside the property. The front of the house has a beautiful garden with several trees and plants, including an endemic species, only found in the Azores. We insist that you walk on the grass!
The vacation home is soundproofed and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Great Spot!
Place was very clean, cozy, and enjoyable! The outside kitchen has a classic villa look which is great. We slept with the windows open during the night and were comfortable. There’s a good deal of space for lounging and hanging out.Host was very responsive and attentive. Would recommend.

Beautiful neighborhood
This property is even nicer than it appears. Locater in one of the nicest neighborhoods on the island, it was quiet, safe, and very comfortable. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a great stay. Andre lives next door and was very attentive, making us feel very welcome.This is one of the nicest VRBOs we've stayed at throughout the world. Great location for exploring the island. Thanks for sharing.
We loved our stay at The Refuge. We cook at VRBOs and the kitchen was perfect. A grocery store is a short walk away. The private parking in the driveway behind a gate was great. The best feature of the house was the patio and dining table there, we had every meal and enjoyed many glasses of wine there.
I highly recommend it and would stay there again in an instant.

Almost moved in permanently!
My husband and I came to Terceira for our honeymoon and had the most wonderful stay at Andre’s beautiful home. We loved it so much that we almost didn’t leave! The home is spacious with modern touches. A huge plus was the washer and dryer there. It was walking distance to beaches, the downtown Angra area, shops, and restaurants. Andre was extremely attentive, patient and helpful, he even offered to help us get food after we got in late and had lost luggage at the airport. Such a sweet guy! Thank you for an amazing stay Andre! We hope to return in the very near future. Best, Heidi & Dan

Nice Property and Neighborhood!
Posted pictures don't do the property justice. It's super modern, clean and comfortable. The backyard area is sweet and the location is convenient to a variety of local sites and attractions. Andre was a kind and thoughtful host. No hesitation recommending this rental.

Comfortable stay close to it all
We stayed at Andre's beautiful home on Terceira. It was immaculate, well equipped, comfortable and close to everything. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed some meals in. The back patio was an excellent place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Our 13yo son lived the loft bed in the living room. We just wish we had time to use the outdoor pizza oven! Andre was communicative and available for questions and gave some wonderful suggestions. Can't wait to return!
