Sehr spezielle Unterkunft in historischer Liegenschaft mit sehr freundlichem Gastgeberpaar; hervorragendes Frühstück
Nach dem Winter war es in den Räumen sehr feucht

Quinta do Espirito Santo is a place you want to stay in if you like to get immersed in a local way of life. It is a traditional house where you stay with the couple who lives there. Every morning you are invited to a breakfast to their dinning room where you can taste their great cheeses and home-made jams. There you will get more information about the islands than any guide or history book could give. The hosts really try to make you feel at home and are very happy to share all of the information about Terceira and other islands. Surrounding the house is a big beautiful property with plenty of trees and flowers where you can stroll around. The house is also a home of few very friendly cats, which just love to be petted and will follow you around if you pet them even once. All in all it was a great experience, and I would suggest anyone, who wants to be immersed in a local culture and is not in a hurry, to stay here and spend at least a few days with the lovely hosts in their nice home. If we ever return to Terceira we will surely stay in Quinta do Espirito Santo again.

My father and I loved this quaint, lovely quinta. Our room was an old historical mill room, and was quite comfortable. There are lovely gardens to wander through on the land, and a small above ground pool for hot days.
The best part were are hosts! Francisco and Lucília were wonderful friends to have on our journey. They offer the opportunity to eat a beautiful traditional breakfast inside their home each morning, took genuine care in our interests, shared stories, and made great recommendations of local things to do. Francisco has a particular passion for preserving local culture, which we admired and appreciated greatly.
Depending on where one will spend their time, the location of the quinta is not close to much of interest. Having a rental car was essential. It is a 15-20 drive to Angra to restaurants and sites and a bit of a drive to the coast. Not a great walking destination.

The great courtesy of the owners, their availability and attention to small details and the place that is full of many artefacts that can have places in a museum. The enriching discussions on the history of the Azores during the excellent breakfasts. The touching surprise (flowers and cake) to celebrate the birthday. Thanks for hospitality. We will come back one day. We are definitely recommending this place.

This place was absolutely gorgeous, and our hosts were warm and welcoming. We only stayed one night and one morning on a layover, but it was phenomenal and we are absolutely planning to return. In the morning we were served a delicious breakfast of fresh bread, assorted local cheese, Portuguese jamon, juice, coffee, jams, and more -- we learned so much about the islands and Terceira in particular from our lovely hosts and got to chat with the other couple staying there. Our hosts coordinated airport transit for us and check in was very smooth even though we got in after midnight. Finally, our apartment itself was beautifully decorated and so comfortable, and the view from our room was beyond amazing. We walked 30 minutes down to a fabulous swimming spot on the coast, and then spent a few hours lying around in their enormous and lovely garden.
Nothing!!!!

Peaceful location, access to lovely gardens, our hosts were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to help us.
Quinta do Espirito Santo is more than just a place to stay it is an experience not to be missed, the wonderful breakfasts, fresh orange juice, traditional breads, home made jams and a selection of Açorean cheeses sitting in a traditional dining room around a shared dining table and the interesting conversations.
We very much hope to return.

Very small bedrooms with no place for luggage. Portable AC was outside both bedrooms so it didn't serve the purpose.
