Accommodation in Azores - My Number one Recommendation on Sao Miguel Azores

Accommodation in Azores is fairly easy to find. The larger and more populous islands like Sao Miguel and Terciera have plenty of hotels, villa's, cottages and bed and breakfasts. In fact, all of the islands have plenty of great choices for accommodations.

But I think I have one place in particular that is pretty special. I have no hesitation sharing this extraordinary accommodation with you.

Recommended Accommodation in Azores

Quinta Das Acacias CottageQuinta Das Acacias is a self catering accommodation on Sao Miguel. With seven cottages on spacious and beautifully maintained grounds. The Quinta is a peaceful, calm spot where you can easily relax in comfort.

Each semi detached cottage is clean, well maintained and comfortable. They each have one bedroom, a full bathroom, a kitchen, dining area and a living room area. Each one can comfortably house one to four people and serve as a great place to start and end your days exploring the island of Sao Miguel.

When you visit their website (at Quinta Das Acacias, Sao Miguel, Azores) be sure to read the testimonials from all over the world. You will see that I am not the only one that feels that this is a special spot!

The outside of each cottage has chairs to relax on as well as a traditional Azorean wood Barbecue. And each cottage affords a view of the very attractive grounds.

This brings me to one of the best features of Quinta Das Acacias ... the grounds themselves. It is easily apparent that the family that owns and operates Quinta Das Acacias loves the property and really enjoy gardening. The grounds are quite large, spread over a number of landscaped levels, with numerous paths that you can walk to enjoy the lush vegetation and exquisite sculptures. Take a look at just a small sampling of photos from the grounds.

More About This Accommodation in Azores

The owners of this property, Eduino and Bonita, are wonderful hosts. They live on the property and are willing to give you helpful advice. They helped me book a great sailing trip and they helped my Uncle John find a local restaurant that catered a big family dinner.

The cottages are self catering, so this means that guests cook their own meals.

The cottages are not near the capital city of Ponta Delgada. Just a smaller town named Livramento. So you will not find much city touring within walking distance. And the nearest beach is about 2 kilometers away, which is about a 30 minute walk through winding streets.

While there is a bus stop nearby and taxis can come to the Quintas. But a having a rental car is recommended.
