This is an amazing cafe and museum to visit. The cafe holds a welcome for any visitors and has its own unique and interesting decor. The museum, entered through the cafe, houses a wonderful collection of ivory spanning several centuries. The carvings of the exhibits are exquisite and well worth a visit. The staff are welcoming and very pleased to practice their good English.

Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 22 reviews
The Dabney's House, recovered by the Azores Regional Government, portrays the history and the passage of the Dabney family in Faial, who left a cultural, historical and scientific heritage, still visible and recognized on the island. The Dabney family settled in Faial in 1806, when John Bass Dabney was appointed US Consul General in the Azores. Three members of the Dabney family (John, Charles and Samuel) successively engaged this position over a century. In 1854, Charles William Dabney bought a summer house built in Monte da Guia, included in a residential complex consisting of a house with cistern, pier and shelter for two boats, a viewpoint, a small area of vineyards stretching up the slope toward the bay of Porto Pim and a winery, where is currently the exhibition about their experiences on the island.
