We arrived in Graciosa in search of waves… and ended up staying. It was the sea that won us over, but also the tranquility of the island, its unique light, and the feeling of space that only the Atlantic can provide.

Shortly afterwards, we found a ruin by the sea, with a breathtaking view over Ilhéu da Praia, in the parish of São Mateus. It was an old wine cellar, where wine was produced, with a magnificent wine press that, instead of removing, we decided to make use of: today it is a unique shower, keeping the island’s history and cultural heritage alive.
