The Azores Islands were elected amongst other candidates, as the "Best European Destination in 2016", and Quinta da Abelheira is unique and probably the best Rural Tourism accommodation for you to enjoy your vacations in São Miguel Island. The estate has 90.623 square meters, was completely renewed by the current owners and is located in the outskirts of Ponta Delgada (4km), surrounded by a large forest area with hundreds of local flora and fauna.
Climbing the hill that characterizes the homestead, you will have a privileged view over the capital city, of the fantastic mountain of Lagoa do Fogo and the sunny south beach coast. You will start your lifetime vacations precisely on this trail, when you arrive at the viewpoint and contemplate the extensive North Atlantic waters, with the taste of sun, silence and comforting peace.
For your relaxation, we have several green areas, hidden lookouts, a swimming pool, an exclusive vegetable and herbs garden that you can handle yourself if you feel to, and a lot of friendly reading zones.
If you're passionate about the ocean, we have the beaches - Pópulo and Milícias - with typical volcanic dark sand less than 2km away. All 20 rooms and Villa reflect a casual, modern yet popular style, decorated to perfection, with attention to detail and simple lines.

QUOTES
Lovely Oasis
Would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and cleaned every day. The breakfast buffet was amazing with lots of variety and the staff helped us to navigate what foods contained nuts to cater for an allergy. One morning we had to leave early for an excursion and so the staff opened up the breakfast buffet earlier. The views at breakfast are beautiful. The pool was lovely and there is an amazing poolside bar serving drinks including delicious cocktails as well as bar snacks such as sandwiches, chips and crisps! One afternoon we had the pool to ourselves and it was a little oasis. Private, secure car parking available on site.
Felt Like a Princess
I had a fantastic Azores experience at Quinta da Abelheira – an exquisite hotel with a stylish decoration – located on the hills in the suburbs of Ponta Delgada. The breakfast terrasse offered a stunning view over the city – a great way to start the day. The hotel featured a garden and a pleasant pool experience – a perfect way to chill out – with or without a drink from the pool bar. I loved the living room area as well – very stylish and cozy, offering fruit, snacks and tea in the afternoon. My room was spacious and spotless, with great décor and comfortable bed with soft pillows. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a huge variety of local delicacies and fresh juices! The staff were very attentive. I would like to send my special thanks to the receptionist, who ensured that I felt comfortable throughout my entire stay – and took care of all my requests with great professionalism. I felt like a Princess there – and I will definitely go back.
