Casas Goulart - MERGING LANDSCAPES & TRADITIONS

Casas Goulart was born from a family dream passed on from generation to generation. Amaro Silva, like his merchant father Manuel Inácio Silva, created his own business in the 1930s, selling groceries, fabrics, and building materials. He had a small film company and a modest boarding house where he lodged traveling salesmen who traveled the island's businesses taking note of orders.

Maria Helena, Amaro Silva's daughter, had been in touch with her father's business since she was a child, and although in the beginning she directed her life in another direction, the seed remained, and later, with the support and entrepreneurial spirit of her husband José Leonardo, an unconditional lover of Pico's black stones and stone houses, she started to restore some family houses, creating a small family business in rural tourism.

The pioneering company that grew, today has several accommodations with stunning views of the Pico - São Jorge sea channel, where comfort and good taste allied to tradition and the art of hospitality aim to give customers who choose Casas Goulart a warm and familiar environment.

At present it is Mónica Goulart, passionate about her island and its traditions, daughter of Maria Helena and José Leonardo, who continues the family business.
