Vacation in a holiday home on the Azores

The Azores are a volcanic archipelago off the coast of Portugal. With sprawling hills, crater lakes, and old volcanoes, this region has an almost otherworldly look about it. Much of the ecology is particular to the Azores, with certain species found nowhere else on Earth. This has made it a haven for nature enthusiasts and scuba divers. There is plenty of local culture here with a rich mix of Portuguese, Spanish, and even West African influences dating back to the 15th century.

Sao Miguel Island, otherwise known as 'The Green Island', has Joao Paulo II Airport which carries flights from much of Europe and North America. There are plenty of holiday homes to book on the island, from small bungalows to large holiday houses where extended families can stay. You can also rent smaller holiday apartments. Other islands like Madeira also offer holiday rentals in natural landscapes filled with lush flowers and green hills. Pico Island is unique for its stunning volcanic landscapes. The best time to book holiday homes here is July-September, when the weather is hot, but rainfall is low.
