Welcome to your Flores Island sanctuary - where lifestyle meets investment.

Nestled in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and the
Americas, Flores Island is a true paradise, often called the "Hawaii of
Europe." Its dramatic landscapes, cascading waterfalls, volcanic
rock formations, and lush, green coastline create an atmosphere
unlike anywhere else in the world.

Casa Hortensia is perched on the east-southeast coast, on the
scenic hills near Lajes das Flores, a charming seaside community
where cobblestone alleys, colorful buildings, and a rich cultural
heritage paint a picture of traditional Azorean life.

Explore the winding paths of Lajes das Flores, where every turn
reveals breathtaking views and a deep connection to nature. Stroll
through forests lined with hydrangeas, marvel at towering cliffs, and
witness the raw beauty of cascading waterfalls plunging into the
ocean.
For adventurers, the island offers endless possibilities—set sail on a
boat excursion to explore hidden sea caves, watch dolphins play in
the waves, or journey to Corvo Island for an unforgettable day trip.
Hike the island’s scenic trails, where the vast Atlantic stretches
endlessly before you.

As the sun sets, indulge in authentic Azorean cuisine, where fresh,
local ingredients take center stage in cozy cafés and seaside
restaurants.

More than just a destination, Flores is a sanctuary—a place where
time slows down, nature takes center stage, and every moment
becomes a cherished memory. Whether you seek adventure,
tranquility, or a deeper connection to nature, Flores Island is an
escape like no other.
