Testimonials
What a great vacation! We've only had a week, but we've enjoyed every minute-from the flower-lined streets to the quaint villages, from the breathtaking peaks to the black sand beaches.
Bonita and Ed's hospitality, along with this central location and the paradise-like landscaping have really made us huge fans at
Quinta das Acacias. We're so glad to have found it. I think we'll be back.

"ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL"
More beautiful than the pictures we had seen before our stay. Peaceful and serene. The grounds and cottages were immaculate, you could tell that the owners take great pride in their Quinta.
Ed and Bonita were wonderful hosts and very helpful not only with sight seeing suggestions but also simple things like where to buy groceries etc.
The island itself is beautiful with alot of wonderful places to see and explore.
Would definitely recommend the Quinta to everyone we know.

"A little piece of heaven!!!"
The minute we came through the gates, we were in heaven. It is so beautiful and peaceful I can't even put it into words. The pictures do not do justice to what is actually there. We travel all around the world and this is one of the cleanest, best maintained places we have ever been.
Bonita and Eduino are very special people and you can tell that they love what they are doing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them and their slice of heaven.

"Hands Down, Best Place to Stay in Sao Miguel!"
My fiance and I have just returned from a week stay at the Quinta and cannot think of a better place to stay. The property is fantastically maintained and the cottages are immaculate. There's a full stove, refrigerator, microwave & every other appliance one could need to have a home-cooked meal or prepare a nice breakfast before a full day of sight seeing.
The property owners go above & beyond to make their guests have a vacation that best suits their needs- such as arranging a taxi, recommending tours, and even restaurants. They even have the property lit until midnight so that guests can enjoy a nice glass of wine while taking a stroll under the stars. I would without a doubt recommend Quinta das Acacias to anyone looking for a quaint place to call home while on holiday- the property itself is a mini-paradise.

Leaving and packing now,
unfortunately don't know,
how to stay
currently no way.
certainly being back
need to keep track
with those kind hosts-being friends
keeping care of their stuff and lands
we were living in a park
seeing flowers even in the dark,
as in the winter, it's Jan now
can't describe, it's just a "WOW"
would like to come back
and hiss the flag
that this place is great: art, nature, friends,
beauty and peace - all in good hands

"A hidden gem that MUST be experienced"
There is nothing quite like being at Ed and Bonita's Quinta. A view of the ocean, a smell of the flowers, a sense of serenity.
If anyone is looking for a place unique to this world, I highly recommend Azores. And what better way to appreciate it than in a comfortable vacationing area like this quinta.

Os Portugueses dizem obrigado
Os Espanhois "muchas gracias"
Eu fiquei maravilhado
Com a Quinta das Acacias
Situada em São Miguel
Esta Ilha dos Amores
Digna do melhor pincel
Do mais ilustre dos pintores
Um local maravilhoso
Não há ninguém que não sinta
Já me sinto desgostoso
Por abalar desta Quinta
Vou-me embora com tristeza
Por desta Quinta abalar
Mas prometo com certeza
A esta Quinta voltar.

Our stay here was amazing, what little time we had here for our honeymoon. We will be back with our family someday soon. The gardens are beautifully and hospitality just as we would expect in St. Albert (our home). Thanks for being Canadian!

What a great place to stay! Peaceful, with great views and a fabulous garden full of color and birdsong. The location is perfect for exploring the rest of the island, all in all just a brilliant place for a holiday. Thank you for making our stay such an enjoyable one.
