It was the best place that we have ever stayed in. Place to heal both your body & mind. Amazing atmosphere, Rimi & Joao are lovely owners :) they were very kind and always willing to help. Their two little dogs were gems of the house! Armindo, the receptionist was very helpful and chatty. We highly reccommend attending yoga class with Rimi, delightful experience. Breakfast...omg... fresh local and delicious. Jam of guava was the best! And cheeses and juices were so good. Can't wait to come back in the future. Perfect place to spend your time

We felt like home, so welcoming personal, very precise instructions regarding arrival. Also, concept of sustainability maintaining in the hotel is very close to us. So, we enjoyed everything from comfortable room to meditation session and yoga with landlords. Additionally, cats and dogs brought us piece after days of hiking and traveling.

We liked everything, especially staff and owners were very welcoming and helpful.

Great location nearby to Ponta Delgada and also with very good connections with the rest of the island. The couple who owns/runs this accomodation does this in an uniq mannier. They try to blend the confort with susteinability and we highly appreciated this! The location is yoga friendly and brings a little bit of asian culture into a portugese quinta! even I’m not practicing it gave me a good vibe! The breakfast is delicious and the whole staff is there when you need them but gives you the needed space in the rest of the time. Thanks!

my pillows were a little bit to big for my taste

Our pool-side apartment style room was perfect (the room called WISTERIA). It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It provided more than enough room for our 3-day stay. Although we did not utilize the kitchen area, it's very nice to have that option in your room. The property overall is a tranquil garden paradise. The pool is nice and clean. It's calming and relaxing. I especially loved the yoga area, which was open for free pratice. The local breakfast was fantastic, especially on sunday morning. Everything is prepared fresh daily at 8:30 am. The onsite parking area was convient. The property's location made traveling throughout the island easy. The staff and owner were especially welcoming and accomodating. Their two dogs were so cute. We would defintely stay here again. We hope to return to sao miguel island.

Breakfasts were delicious, fresh, prepared with care.

brilliant room, garden, breakfast and service.

more then a stay, it is an unique experience to be part of Minuvida community life. it is an interaction with the natural and cultural environment of the Island. The room was spacious and clean with suitable amenities (soap, shampoo etc.) in colonial style with real wooden furniture- very authentic interiors. Friendly staff and owners - always ready to help. We felt taken care of. Hospitality, location, facilities and uniqueness of Quinta Minuvida make it perfect place to stay while exploring Sao Miguel.

Very nice place, inside a beautiful garden. Rimi, Joao and Luis were very nice and supportive to the discovery of this marvelous island. Highly recommended.

It’s very close to a road, and you hear cars also in the middle of the night. If you are used to complete silence, this can be a bit annoying, even if you get used after a while

Great choice for our honeymoon trip. We really enjoyed the stay in Quinta Minuvida! Joao and the Team are great representatives of portuguese hospitality. The place cares about sustainable tourism and nature. Breakfasts are delicious with local products. The place has a gorgeous garden, swimming pool and kitchen with a nice view were we enjoyed cooking our dinners. Comfortable place to park your car. Location in Rabo de Peixe is a perfect spot for visiting all the island and Santa Barbara beach is super close. Definately reccomend!

amazing garden and accommodation:)

The gardens, the ambiance and atmosphere are an invitation in heaven and reconnection. The side activities are worth trying. The staff has been so helpful and caring. They care about ethics, values and people and you can feel it while being there. Rooms are good and breakfast really tasty.

Nothing, but occasion noise from the road when at night cars are driving too fast while windows being open but it is out of control of the accommodation (taro room)

The orchard is really special, with so many exotic plants, everywhere you look there is growing something different. The owners and staff are really lovely and helpful. We loved our stay!!

The host and the stuff are so friendly, they made us feel like we are at home. The place is beautiful, they have a wonderful garden. This is something that i can recomend to anybody. They gave us more than enough information about the island, things that we can do. Joao, Louis, Rimi, thank you and we wish you all the best.

Everything was perfect.

Great place to stay when visiting Azores. The owners are super friendly and the staff is really helpful and goes above and beyond to make not only your stay at Minuvida comfortable but also your whole trip into Sao Miguel. Rooms are very comfortable and cosy, amazing breakfasts always with fresh fruit. You can even pick it up from the trees at the orchard. They also have some pets, Moo, Biscoito :) We were here with laptops to work remotely and everything was great! Strong Internet coverage was also in the garden and by the pool. A little paradise on this secluded island.

The hospitality of the place is amazing, you really can feel how happy and friendly are the hosts to the guests. The breakfast, garden and friendly daily tips for us in traveling were super helpful. We did yoga, relaxed and enjoyed our time. :)

This was the best place that we have ever stayed in. The personal- there are only the nicest people. The room is big and very clean. The location was easy to find. There is a parking lot (for free). We asked for a renting a car and it was without any problems - Ramalhense rent a car is the name of company. They gave us many tips for travelling around island, for good food. The breakfast was awesome, you can choose from 3 menus. There is a big pool and beautiful garden with a lot of fruit trees. You can take whatever you want from garden. There is also a small kitchen where you can cook your own food. We will come back for sure. Hope, it will be soon!

I don’t recommend this place for families with kids in winter because it was cold in a room.
