..Very close to the parish church of Fajã Grande, on the island of Flores, the anchorage is called Argonauta, meaning “daring navigator” in the Portuguese of historians. This is the name given to an old stately home, whose origins date back at least to the 16th or 17th century, but which underwent extensive restoration in 1929–1930, when it was equipped with the first bathroom in Fajã Grande and the island’s only piano—which is now in Santa Cruz museum. In 2026, the house will celebrate its 36th anniversary, continuing to welcome visitors to Fajã Grande and Flores in peaceful island comfort, regardless of their origin or culture. Argonauta currently offers 5 bedrooms with private bathrooms.

Argonauta pursues a traditional goal: to guarantee intimate and traditional high-Atlantic hospitality to our guests, revealing to them the secret maps of the island routes for land or sea navigation.
