Perched on the edge of the Atlantic, Convento São Francisco is a centuries-old monastery on São Miguel Island, lovingly reimagined as a soulful retreat in the Azores. We were honored to help breathe new life into this cherished landmark—balancing reverence for its storied past with a thoughtful, contemporary design.
After a brief but soul-stirring stay, we found ourselves spellbound—drawn not just to the beauty of Convento São Francisco, but to its bones, its breath, its untold stories. We reached out to the owners with a simple truth: we couldn’t leave without offering to help. What followed was a collaboration rooted in reverence—a chance to gently weave modern hospitality into a place already steeped in grace, history, and a kind of quiet magic that asks only to be seen.
