Casa das 2 Marias

Casa das 2 Marias is a traditional Azorean house located in the center of Furnas, which has been totally recovered with the concern of maintaining its most characteristic elements, such as walls of volcanic stone, the mansard, the wood oven and its chimney. Built on a concept of open space and vintage decoration, offers the best leisure and relaxing moments in contact with nature.
