Driving through the red gates into the beautiful, artistically designed gardens of Quinta das Acácias, we knew we had booked the perfect spot for our stay in São Miguel. Our cottage was set in a tropical garden, lush with flowers, trees, and chirping birds. A lovely patio for dining or just sitting and relaxing, was just outside our door. The cottage was beyond expectations in cleanliness, style, beauty, efficiency, and comfort. Our hosts Bonita and Ed were friendly, extremely helpful, and made us feel at home. Walking through and sitting at various places in their magical, zen garden made us feel like we were in paradise. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend Quinta das Acácia for your São Miguel vacation home.
