Holidays within nature (we even have a few chickens in the garden): Quinta das Acacias is not just a place to bed down. It is a romantic affair between the natural beauty that exists within  an individual´s passion for creative form and understanding of all that is beautiful. Within its walls, the grounds are to become a sculptural garden composed with the natural environment and contemporary art. 

Rental car services can also be reserved.  Don't like to drive - we can arrange a tour guide to show you all the secret places of this paradise island.

Activities to experience: To visit Sao Miguel, known as the Ilha Verde (Green island), is also to discover a natural world that seems to have been hidden for a reason or purpose. The close proximity of attractions are easily accessible, however, to observe and admire it, will prolong your stay indefinitely. Nurtured by nature and time, one will find the crater lakes of Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo (Fire Lake) and Lagoa das Furnas (Furnas Lake). For any traveller, there are a variety of activities; hiking trails, whale watching, sailing, beaches with warm waters, natural and thermal pools that soak away any kind of blues.

Bonita was a wonderful host. Because we arrived Saturday late in the evening she left breakfast goodies for us. She was super helpful every time we asked her help (from calling a taxi to renting a car). And the fireplace was just magical. Unfortunately, we had to leave earlier than expected due to work emergencies and couldnt enjoy the full month.

Bonitas place is pure heaven. Every day during our stay I kept congratulating myself for choosing her place. So private and quiet, only birds and a beautiful church bell as sounds. Her garden is huge and so well maintained. And still, while having all the advantages of privacy and nature, going to the highway is less than 5 minutes.

I loved this place. It was a peaceful respite after a long day of exploring. You feel like you're sitting in the Rainforest Caf when you eat dinner on your front porch. It was beautiful.

The first thing to say is that the photos don't do the place justice - both the house and the gardens are absolute paradise! Bonita and Ed could not have been more gracious hosts. We felt comfortable and secure the minute we entered. The property itself is also magnificent. You are in a tranquil garden with birds chirping, enjoying all the blossoms and gorgeous plants that they foster here. We loved having chickens around because Bonita sold us delicious eggs and we could them feed our food scraps. We cooked outside on our own charcoal grill, enjoyed numourous hours on the porch, peaceful walks through the property, and also a slew of recommended activities that Bonita told us about. We stayed for 1 month, working part-time, and the wifi was generally great, even amidst a tropical storm. Leaving this Airbnb was like leaving our own home. We're counting the days until we can come back.

Thanks for having us Bonita, Ed and Tom the cat!

My second time staying at this property. All was well. This cottage is (I think) the most private of the units, as it is not a duplex. So if you put a premium on solitude, this is the top choice. The front porch is very expansive, and has a view of the Atlantic (about 2 km as the crow flies or so). You can hear the tankers and cruise ships sound their horns as the enter and exit the harbor, which for me is quite a romantic sound, like a train whistle in the distance. The kitchen is complete, with an oven, so you can cook all types of dishes. Full size appliances. Laundry machine is good and not to loud. There is a back porch as well, where you can grill. Nice touch. Tom the white kitty is sure to make his way over to you to beg for pets. I will come back to this property next time I am on Sao Miguel. Detailed feedback

Hosts are professional property managers, they are friendly but leave the guests pretty much to themselves, though are apt for a chat if you are.

Thank you Bonita and Ed, Our days at Quinta das Acacias have been a wonderful way for us to celebrate my 70th birthday. You kept suggesting that we should extend all of our stay to be at Quinta das Acacias. You were right! We look to a return visit with our family. The chestnuts were delicious and Sydney used the kale on our first dinner. With our appreciation, David and Sydney, USA

Bonita is extremely helpful sending information, answering questions, offering suggestions and making reservations, from the rental car to restaurant reservations. She always answered promptly and professionally. Ed is a wealth of information about the Azorean culture, gardening, and doing business on the island.

This is my 4th visit to Quinta das Acacias. I won't stay anywhere else on Sao Miguel. The central location makes getting around the island very easy. The property grounds are stunning and peaceful. The hammocks are a wonderful addition and adds to the relaxation of the property. The cottages are immaculately clean, modern and homey feeling. The completely stocked kitchen makes cooking-in very easy. Wifi is a plus. I like to think of this as my home-away-from-home.
