The 300 year old Manor House Solar da Glória ao Carmo is located in the quiet outskirts of Ponta Delgada, the capital of São Miguel Island, in the Azores-Portugal.

Built around 1700 as the "House of the Landlords Botelho de Sampaio, de Rosto do Cão", the house was purchased as a ruin and completely refurbished in 1990.
“Absolutamente Fantástico”
Regressar aos Açores é sempre uma experiência fantástica. Mais fantástica ainda quando somos tratados e recebidos com tanta dedicação, carinho, requinte e qualidade.
