Can totally recommend staying at this place. We stayed here with our baby (7 month old) and enjoyed a lot of walks through the garden. As a lot of people wrote: It is absolutely beautiful. And there are ducks and chicken too. We were super happy to find things like an umbrella for the beach or a hand blender. Both much needed with a baby. The populo beach is a 6 min drive away (~30 min by foot), has a nice cafe/restaurant and is good for a swim. There is a supermarket in Lagoa (6 min drive) and a smaller shop in Livramento. Weve done some small wonderful hikes in the area - Nature at its finest!

Ed and Bonita,
I feel like we are family , for when I come back to your wonderful place-it feels like home. This is my 5th time and I always find something new to marvel over and explore.
The hike up to the water fall in Faial da Terra is worth it! The lighthouse in Nordeste is always a fun challenge. The fresh fish and veggies at the farmers market are delicious. The walk around Furnas lake has its rewards-a relaxing soak at Dona Beija!! A highlight of our stay. Swimming at Ponta de Ferreira at low tide is an adventure not to be missed. Thank you for all these suggestions and more.
Thank you most for creating this magical spot and sharing it with us. There is such tranquility and empowering energy at the same time.
I will return and will always have a special place in my heart and my memories of you and your home, the magical Quinta das Acacias.
Be well!

Eduino en Bonita Sousa zijn uitstekende hosts.
Bonita heeft een eigen kaart van het eiland gemaakt met daarop aangegeven de 'goede' plekken, varierend van restaurants tot wandel/zwemactiviteiten. Touristraps worden daardoor voorkomen.
Deze kaart krijgt elke gast bij binnenkomst en licht ze uitgebreid toe; heel prettig als men voor de eerste komt op Sao Miguel.

Zoals eerder al aangegeven; een prachtige tuin.
Daarnaast heeft het appartement een goed uitgeruste keuken met keukenmateriaal dat compleet is(!) en goed functioneert. Verder aanwezig; magnetron, een goed electrisch(glasplaat)fornuis met oven erin. Verder nog eenhele ruime koelkast met vriezer.
Al hun appartementen hebben beschikking over een wasmachine.
Een absolute aanrader.

Very pleasant and above all, as Patrcia (my wife) mentioned, one feels 'safe' especially when you are in a 'new' environment and you don't speak the language.
The tips we got on restaurants and other activities were good. No tourist traps ...

We booked a two-bedroom cottage at Quinta Das Acacias for a quiet week's stay in the off-season. We loved the gardens and grounds, with the thoughtful plantings of perennials that flourish in the volcanic soil. We enjoyed the hammocks and listening to the songbirds while sitting on the porch. The cottage was immaculate, and well-stocked for cooking, with a full size stove and refrigerator. The weather turned cold during our stay, and we enjoyed using the wood stove. Bonita and Ed were gracious hosts, and provided detailed maps for local stores and restaurants. The location was close to all the island's sights, but once back on the grounds, we felt like we were in our own little world. It was the perfect location for a restful vacation.

I don't often return to a destination, as there is a great big world to explore. But Sao Miguel and especially Quinta das Acacias are the exception. The Quinta is a very special place - with manicured gardens, herbs to use for cooking, lavender for helping you sleep, amazing sculptures & art and fruit trees to supply delicious desserts. The genuine friendliness of Ed and Bonita makes the Quinta seem like home.

Notes
Cleaning and Disinfecting your vacation home!
We want you to know we at VHM Azores are doing our part to help our guests stay safe by continuing to do cleaning and disinfecting as we have in the past but also, more detail disinfecting of frequently
touched surfaces before you check in (light switches, door knobs, cabinet and window handles, remotes, etc.)
To insure there are no transmitting of virus from previous guests, we will not be adding extra paper or disposable products during this time (tin foil, paper towels, plastic wrap, toilet paper, books etc.)
Enjoy your stay!
Smoking is not allowed inside the house. For the respect to other nonsmoking guests-smoking is allowed outside only and the cigarette butts are to be put in the garbage and not on the property grounds.
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.
Don't want to cook on your vacation? Take advantage of your evening meals at nearby traditional restaurants within a 10 minutes drive from the Quinta.
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 traveler, 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.
Winter Getaway : Visitors from the colder climates- Have you thought of migrating during the winter months?
At Quinta das Acacias, we can accommodate your seasonal stay in the Azores starting October 1st to March 31. Affordable monthly rates available.
Both travel and accommodation are at their lowest, giving you more to spend on your Christmas holiday.
The city streets are festive with lights and decorations, the stores are full of beautiful crafted gifts. Stop at a local cafe and have an espresso while watching the ocean waves crashing against the rocks or have a glass of local wine on a romantic evening after strolling through streets. All, at your own relaxing pace.
The rich green countryside and temperate temperatures are great for exploring the island.
