Quinta da Cruz de Pedra – Historic diamond in Capelas with sweeping ocean and mountain views. Quentissential 200+ year old Portuguese manor house updated with all the modern conveniences. A thoughtful blend of traditional and modern architecture. A turn key property, ready for you to move into your new home. A large modern American style kitchen with eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The principal room has a full bath and large walk-in-closet. This estate comprises two meticulously restored buildings and both are licensed for short-term rentals (AL) and events if that is of interest, making it ideal for those seeking a private sanctuary without sacrificing the commercial potential of a luxury investment. Or, it can be used as an estate with a main house and guest house. Located just 15 minutes from Ponta Delgada, it is the perfect setting to combine an exclusive lifestyle with the tourism appeal of the Azores’ most enchanting destinations. Nestled on 5,500 m² (1.36 acres) of private land with lush gardens, many individual fruit trees, and panoramic ocean/mountain views, the property boasts spacious living areas, heated saltwater pool, fireplace, fully equipped smart kitchens (indoor and outdoor), large oversized two-car garage with a bathroom and loft, basalt stone patios with a fire pit, and high-end finishes. The property currently supports 43 solar panels for energy production, along with 20 kWH of batteries for nighttime operation. Dating back to the early 19th century, Quinta da Cruz de Pedra is steeped in history and local tradition. The property features the iconic 1823 Stone Cross, a symbol of faith and protection that reflects the deep religious and maritime heritage of Vila das Capelas. Historically, Capelas was a thriving whaling hub, and its seafaring legacy remains evident in its culture, architecture, and close ties to the Atlantic Ocean. Whether for premium rentals, exclusive events, weddings, or conversion into a boutique hotel, the combination of both homes and the expansive land (with an additional 1,800 m² of buildable area) offers endless opportunities in the luxury market. At the heart of this whaling village lies this magnificent 8-bedroom, 9-bathroom estate, where old-world charm meets modern comfort. Every detail strikes the perfect balance between elegance and functionality.

As an Azorean native from São Miguel Island, I bring a strong international background to my real estate career, having lived in Turkey, France, and Germany while pursuing a postgraduate degree in Advanced European Studies and International Politics. My academic focus on diplomacy and negotiation provided me with essential skills that I apply daily in real estate — educating buyers and sellers, navigating complex transactions, and creating successful outcomes.
Over the years, I have specialized in the residential and tourism real estate markets, with a refined appetite for sea-view properties, investment opportunities, agricultural and tourism projects, as well as development land. I also provide professional staging services, ensuring each property I represent is showcased at its highest potential.
I completed the Luxury Real Estate Sales Management Course and hold a Master’s Degree in Real Estate Investments. I have also undertaken CREATE 21 Golden Edition and SER&ESTAR CENTURY 21 training, which have strengthened my expertise in luxury and investment markets. Recognized as a leading top producer for over five years, I consistently rank within the top 1% of Century 21 Azor. Clients value my detail-oriented, proactive approach and in-depth knowledge of the Azorean market, trusting me to deliver beyond expectations.
Before real estate, I worked in local government, focusing on tourism, private investments, and civil construction projects, and was also involved in international volunteer initiatives linked to nautical sports in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. These diverse experiences have provided me with a solid foundation and vision to serve clients in a globalized market.
Beyond my professional life, I am passionate about surfing, sailing, horse riding, golf, and Azorean wines, all of which reflect the lifestyle and natural richness that make the Azores an exceptional destination.
