Name of the room inspired by the Miradouro da Lira

This mirante implanted on the northern slope of Monte da Guia was built between 1820 and 1850, at the initiative of the Dabney Family. Coming from the United States of America, the Dabney arrived in Faial in 1804, attracted by the trading opportunities that John Bass Dabney had glimpsed during his first visit to the island in 1795.

Description of the surrounding area

Monte da Guia – Local Accommodation is located just a few minutes from Porto Pim Beach, which boasts the Blue Flag of Europe and one of the most frequented on Faial Island, located within the city, in a nook of Monte da Guia. Within its area of coverage, there is the Whale Station of Porto Pim, one of the most relevant testimonies of the industrial past of Faial Island and which is now an interpretive center of the old Azorean whaling activity. This bay has, in the southeast, a set of gray dunes of herbaceous vegetation, habitat that is classified by Natura 2000 Network. Its volcanic origin is recognizable by the presence of two elevations attached to it, Monte da Guia and Monte Queimado. Monte da Guia is imposing by its height, clearly dominating the relief of the surroundings.
