Oceanfront Elevation in Serretinha | 2 Bedrooms | 1.5 Baths | Renovated

Set above the Atlantic in the sought-after Serretinha section of Feteira, this renovated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence offers panoramic ocean views toward Ilhéus das Cabras and seamless indoor–outdoor living. Updated finishes, modern climate control, and recent appliance upgrades complement a setting that combines elevation, privacy, and close proximity to Angra do Heroísmo.

Atlantic Light, Elevation & Island Living

Terceira’s south shore offers excellent balance - ocean exposure, historic towns, and daily conveniences within short distance. Angra do Heroísmo’s marina, cafés, and cultural events are minutes away, while Praia da Vitória’s sandy Praia Grande stretches along the eastern bay. Markets, neighborhood restaurants, and essential services are part of everyday life.

The island’s pace is steady and practical. Distances are short, outdoor access is constant, and the Atlantic climate provides sunlight, air movement, and seasonal variation without extremes.

Located in the Serretinha section of Feteira, this residence sits approximately 125 meters (410 feet) above sea level, an elevation that enhances its panoramic Atlantic views. The front of the home faces north toward a quiet parish road, while the rear terrace, downstairs living room, and both upstairs bedrooms face south — opening directly toward the Atlantic Ocean and the unmistakable silhouette of Ilhéus das Cabras.

This southern orientation provides consistent natural light throughout the year, with winter sunsets visible over the water — a true ocean-facing position rather than a partial or angled view.

Location & Proximity

Serretinha sits within Terceira’s primary residential and commercial corridor along the south shore.

Serretinha has developed a strong reputation among island residents as one of Terceira's most desirable hillside enclaves. Its elevation, southern exposure, and open Atlantic sightlines have long made it sought after for scenic positioning. Properties in this area are limited, and ownership here reflects a location choice that is deliberate and well-regarded.

It is positioned within a corridor that is close to infrastructure yet removed from density.
