The Property

Turnkey Estate with Income Potential.

Casa Santi sits on the western coast of São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores archipelago. The property is positioned steps from natural thermal hot springs at Ferraria and minutes from the iconic Sete Cidades crater lakes — two of the most sought-after destinations in the mid-Atlantic.

Everything is in place for full short-term rental licensing with a white-glove treatment — the estate works equally well as a private residence, a managed investment, or both.

Design & Structure

Built for the
Azorean Landscape

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the volcanic ridgeline and draw natural light deep into every room. The layout is open and flowing — designed for both daily comfort and entertaining.

Local volcanic stone accents ground the contemporary finishes, while the orientation maximizes natural ventilation and passive solar gain throughout the year.

Walking Distance from Casa Santi

Ferraria Hot Spring,
Ginetes.

The Ferraria hot spring in Ginetes is one of the only places on Earth where volcanic thermal water meets the Atlantic Ocean. The result is a natural pool where hot and cold currents mix — creating a one-of-a-kind bathing experience right on the shoreline.

The best time to visit is during low tide, when the natural rock pool retains the warm thermal water and the ocean swell is calm enough to bathe safely. At high tide, the Atlantic rushes in and the spring becomes inaccessible.
