This is a beautiful manor house, lovely gardens, wonderful view, lots of amenities. Lovely room. I left early so didn't have time for breakfast, but owner ensured I had coffee and yogurt. But, it's somewhat isolated, so best if you have a car.
What a beautiful, wonderful place to stay.
Lovely big rooms, really comfortable beds, quiet hotel.
Excellent cooked to order breakfast.
Lovely pool and grounds, great ocean views.
The owner was so helpful and kind.
We were privilaged to stay here for 6 nights, and
would recommend you stay here.
Nice hotel, not so far from San Mateus, a typical fishing village. The owner and her daughter are very nice, available for advice and for a small chat.
Breakfast is delicious. I didn't use the facilities like the gym or the swimming pool; but I think they are simply great.
I really recommend it
The positives: absolutely beautiful old building, very charming, fantastic courtyard for breakfast (which was very good), old walled gardens to explore, and certainly the funkiest tennis court I've ever played on. Quiet, peaceful, lovely antique furnishing, really unique place.
Negatives: beds uncomfortably hard, wifi only in the common areas, old key system while charming is a pain very quickly.
Would recommend hiring a car - bit too far to walk to Angra. 1.5 km walk to Sao Mateus for lunch at Beira Mar is very worthwhile.
The quinta is a wonderful building next to the sea. A great infinty pool cools you down on hot days. The living rooms are tastefully decorated and home to the wifi lovers. Great breakfast inside or in the garden. Maria is a great host.
When you drive from Angra the entrance is a bit hard to notice. So watch out for the sign on your right hand.
All around wonderful property. It is family run so there are some quirks.
The grounds and setting are spectacular. Although it is right off of the road the compound is beautifully landscaped and connected to the water. It has old-world charm and as do the owners Patricia and Maria who were very hospitable.
The place is well decorated and appointed, with the exception of the fake flowers everywhere. They have vast grounds with real flowers and plants--dont know why they need to have fake plants everywhere.
We were a family of 4 and were given the option to stay in the separate Patio house that one can rent. The house was by the pool down two very steep flight of stone stairs and a little inconvenient to get to the main house. Compared to the main house and grounds, it was more like the servants quarters--somewhat dark and musty and right off the road so it was noisy. There were many moths in the bathroom. The house is very spartan compared with the main house. And it has no Wifi, which is fine actually.
We also had the dinner of the house that they offer which was 30 euros. For the convenience and elegant service it was lovely but not worth the price. The food was well-prepared but pretty basic and you can get much better food for 12 euros at the Pousada in Angra.
Overall enjoyable and unique place to stay.
