Corvo is the smallest island in the Azores archipelago, with only around 400 residents calling it home. Living on this secluded isle would be a truly unique experience of getting away from it all. Given the tiny population, properties rarely come up for sale, but when they do, they are typically standalone houses rather than apartments.
Almost the entirety of Corvo’s small population is concentrated around Vila do Corvo, the island’s only town. This is where you’ll find the ferry port and airport – though flights are only available to the nearby island of Flores, underscoring just how remote this destination is.
Vila do Corvo has a couple of tiny restaurants, cafes, and minimarkets squirrelled away, but amenities are limited. Everything from food and drink to pharmaceutical supplies needs to be shipped in, usually from Flores.
Despite its isolation, Corvo sees a trickle of daily visitors from Flores, most of whom come to hike up to the Caldeirão crater or take a bus tour up the winding mountain roads. While these day-trippers provide a small influx of new faces, many leave by evening. However, this presents an interesting opportunity for entrepreneurial residents looking to capitalise on Corvo’s untapped tourism potential by offering overnight accommodation and experiences.
