From the sky

Fenais da Luz, seen by drone

Thirty seconds over the north coast of São Miguel: green fields, the village and the ocean that surround Casa das Hotências.

Where it all began

Before the pool, there was the bush

These old photos show Casa das Hotências before the work began: eucalyptus, brambles and a lot of courage. Today there is a garden, a vegetable patch and a pool in the same place.

Thick bush where the garden is today

The house hidden behind the trees

Cutting down the old eucalyptus

Branches everywhere

The tractor opens the land

Clearing the slope

The first path to the house
