More than a hotel, Solar dos Cantos is a treasured family home. Nestled amidst 15 hectares on the island of São Miguel, Azores, this intimate 16-room retreat unfolds within the former private estate of José do Canto, a 19th-century pioneer of botanical exploration and the man who brought tea production to the Azores.

Echoing our tagline, "A Home, a Garden, a Botanical Legacy," Solar dos Cantos invites you to experience the enduring spirit of hospitality that blossomed within these very walls. Imagine waking up to the gentle symphony of birdsong, surrounded by lush gardens teeming with botanical wonders.

Our 16 rooms, modern in comfort and design, are crafted to bring the outdoors inside, featuring contemporary décor complemented by selected vintage pieces from the estate’s 19th-century collection. Natural elements and hues echo the lush gardens outside, creating a seamless harmony between past and present. Whether opting for a cosy room or a spacious suite, guests are treated to stunning views that merge interior elegance with the verdant surroundings.

Start your day with a delicious breakfast, savoured either indoors in the elegant dining room or al fresco on the sun-drenched patio, breathing in the fresh morning air. After a day of exploration, unwind beside our sparkling outdoor swimming pool, complete with a soothing jacuzzi to melt away any lingering stress.

Solar dos Cantos is not just a place to stay, it's an experience where you'll be welcomed like family. Let us whisk you away to a world where history whispers in the rustling leaves, and nature's beauty unfolds at every turn.

Recently opened after a fresh renovation in 2024, Solar dos Cantos is all set for your next trip to São Miguel, Azores.
