Lovely family operated property with a more authentic Portuguese experience than staying in a bigger hotel. All staff were so pleasant and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was excellent! Need a car to get around but well located to get off to all areas of the island. Highly recommend.

Outstanding boutique bed and breakfast hotel, the staff were lovely, and the quality of the rooms was excellent. Pool area is excellent for a relaxing afternoon, the viewpoint is a short hike worth doing once, and the distance to downton Ponta Delgada was manageable. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel was clean and the staff were very welcoming. The breakfast was the best we had in Portugal but it lacked a variety of vegan options.

The rooms were nice however felt damp. The shower seemed to leak which may have contributed to that. The sliding bathroom barn door was very noisy and not ideal when trying not to disturb others. The room could have used a luggage rack and microwave.

We have travelled and stayed in many places around the world. By far, this property is a gem. Several key details make Quinta da Abelheira a unique stay, starting with the staff. The front desk helped us arrange the most stupendous dinners at restaurants across the island. Not only did they easily and quickly give great suggestions, but they booked them all for us over the course of the week we were there.

The second great detail is the breakfast. Not many places have daily included breakfasts with great views and a changing menu. It's one of the key reasons we booked the hotel and boy were we blown away by it. Fresh cheese, fruit, jams, and bread, not to mention on one day we had some meats they were grilling outside that morning.

The room of course is breathtaking and extremely comfortable. It had two independent minisplit units (heating and cooling), fresh fruit daily, coffee, wine, and blackout shades.

The grounds have gorgeous architecture, like the massive stone pillar in front of the pool. We heard the story of how that was brought in and thought it was extra cool (by crane, from the pineapple plantation next door).

Finally and most intriguing is their EV van. The hotel has a brand new ID. Buzz from VW, with an onsite Level 2 charger. Coolest van ever.

The cats are also nice.

This is a lovely place to stay just outside the main town on Sao Miguel. We loved it. The staff was warm and welcoming, and couldn’t have done more to have made our stay thoroughly enjoyable.

I felt very welcomed by Margarida and Stacy along with the entire staff. We had had an overnight flight and were invited for breakfast upon our arrival the first day. We were allowed to relax in the comfortable public areas until our room was ready at noon time. Very healthy and varied breakfast spread every morning. We had a poolside room. It was so nice to have a comfortable home base for our daily adventures while in San Miguel. I am a rather particular person and I would highly recommend this guest house for your stay on San Miguel island.

First trip to San Miguel, not our last!

Our experience was fantastic. Can't say enough about Margarida, the manager. She went out of her way to help any way she could. She picked us up at the airport and in town a few days. Recommended a local tour company for some day trips and some wonderful local restaurants. She took us to the market one morning and made us feel very welcomed. We felt we arrived as strangers and left as friends.

Alexandria the chef did a wonderful job with the morning breakfast. The array of fruit, cereals, breads, jams, eggs, meats, cheeses, hot coffee and tea and a wonderful fruit drink daily, was a great way to start our day.

The dining room overlooked the ocean and although November is not the best time to visit, weather wise, it was still beautiful even on a cloudy, rainy day.

The grounds of the property are beautiful. Due to the time of year, we were unable to use the pool and the outdoor patios, but they would be spectacular in warmer weather.

Although this property is not in the city center, we did fine without a car during our 5 day stay.

Don't hesitate in booking this property when you visit San Miguel, Azores. Margarida and her staff went our of their way to make us feel at home. Many thanks ~!~

Margarida, Stacey and all the staff were always helpful and couldn't do enough for the guests, nothing was too much trouble, from arranging car hire to ordering taxi for airport transfer for early morning flight. Breakfasts were excellent with a wide variety of fruits, meats and drinks.

Use the public transport system, if lacking car.

Our hostess Stacy is a world class hostess. There was nothing she would not do for us. We mentioned that we swam
every morning, she made sure the pool was cleaned. She picked and delivered us to the airport herself. She is an
exceptionally warm and professional asset to this establishment. Breakfast was incredible, gorgeous grounds. House
keeping exceptional. They made sure our bathing suits were dry by putting them on heated towel rack. Such a thoughtful gesture. Cannot say enough about ending a fantastic holiday here. Much better than very bust Ponta De; Gada.

Excellent B&B style experience, wonderful staff

I must say, the staff and especially Margardida are the most attentive and friendly I ever encountered in all my travels. They were there for everything and anything, airport pickup, restaurant reservations, car rentals, tips on where to go, etc. The hotel is run more like a B&B, with excellent breakfast choices, no rush to get there and done in time, beautifully appointed rooms and a relaxing hang-out living room area and terrace with views of Ponta Delgada and the Atlantic. I highly recommend renting a car though to get around the island and into the 'city' as the property is a bit off the beaten path. I would go again any time, highly recommend!

My husband and I just got back from our very first visit to San Miguel. We stayed at the Quinta da Abelheira for 7 nights after debating where to stay on the island. We're so glad we decided to stay there the entire time! It's such a great central location to get anywhere on the island and we covered it! The staff is so friendly and helped us with things to do and see and places to eat. The breakfast was fantastic and we looked forward to it every morning!

Lovely stay in Ponta Delgada

We were here for 5 nights in July and had a wonderful stay. The location is not too far from Ponta Delgada if you have a car and it was easy to get out to the rest of the island. Our host was very helpful,as were the other people working at the Quinta. Breakfast was enjoyable and on a nice day you can eat on the patio overlooking the sea. We would definitely recommend the hotel and stay here again. Internet service is also very good.
