A lovingly renovated 19th century windmill... an ideal setting for a romantic honeymoon or special occasion. Set just outside a small village, the only noise comes from church bells and the sound of the sheep and cows in the surrounding fields. Accommodating two, it is arranged over four floors. The bedroom is at the top, with a beautiful view across the countryside.
From £400 per week (low season) to £500 (high season). Short breaks by arrangement.

Where else do you get a windmill in your garden? In the Azores, the two bedroom house next to the windmill is situated on a large property with fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the neighbouring islands. A great place for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, with the opportunity to hike and take trips to the beach and surrounding area. The windmill itself has been renovated and you are welcome to use it for reading, writing, or just gazing at the views. If you have children, they might even want to sleep in it!
From £406 per week (Jan-Mar) to £531 per week (Apr – Oct). Minimum stay three nights.
