A world apart,

The Valley

Furnas -
an island within
an island

Tucked inside a volcanic caldera on the eastern end of São Miguel, the Furnas Valley is unlike anywhere else in Europe. Geothermal steam rises from the earth, century-old camellias line quiet paths, and a volcanic lake reflects the sky from one edge of the horizon to the other.

Casa dos Barcos sits on the southern shore of Lagoa das Furnas - directly within the grounds of the Mata-Jardim José do Canto botanical estate. The lake, the house, and the garden form a single seamless landscape. You don't just visit Furnas from here - you live inside it.
