Traveling from Boston to Europe just got easier and more affordable with Azores Express/SATA¹s newly announced fall and winter packages.

The Senhora da Rosa Country Inn is located in a farm with an air of tranquility on the outskirts of Ponta Delgada (Fajã de Baixo), the island of São Miguel - Azores.  São Miguel has a very strong natural environment, a factor that characterizes the entire island, so that is why it is called the Green Island. Six night and air from Boston direct, plus tax $849 pp.

The Azores are the closest and one of the more affordable destinations in Europe, a short four hour flight from Boston¹s Logan Airport. Azores Express/SATA hotel and air packages give travelers the opportunity to explore five different islands while staying at one of 24 hotels.
