Отель Quinta de Santana - Queimadas, Сан-Мигель, Португалия

We loved the property and the gardens. It takes a lot of work to maintain the gardens, keeping the wonderful plants and flowers perfectly trimmed. We also loved the quiet patio areas with the glass sliding doors to sit and read and to relax and have fresh air with lovely comfortable furniture. The kitchen was awesome, and with a full size fridge. The living room was very comfortable for relaxing on the big couch, and the homemade liquors were a unique and fascinating touch. We had great conversations with Luis and learned much from him about Portugal. He is a spendid host and adds his own personal touch. He also gave us very good dinner recommendations. We also loved occasionally hearing the cows, sheep, and chickens from a (not too) nearby farm.

The location was beautiful and our host was warm friendly and extremely kind. During our stay at Pedro’s do Mar the night before our stay at Quinta de Santana, our daughter became violently I’ll after having eaten at Pedros do Mar’s restaurant. Pedros do Mar was unwilling to let us check out late but our host at Quinta de Santana came to our rescue and allowed us to check in early. We cannot thank him enough for his kindness. This speaks to the personal touch offered by an independently run business vs a corporate run hotel. I also appreciated our hosts ability to speak multiple languages. When my Portuguese failed my I could revert to English or French.

Tucked away but close to town. The location is excellent. Quiet, peaceful, mixed in with their garden. A well-equipped shared kitchen available to use! Parking available. Laundry service available (extra cost). Luis and his son offer a great, generous, friendly stay. I’ve been gone one day and I miss it already. I will hopefully be back!

I had the whole place to myself: I was the only guest. I could use the kitchen and living room. I needed to use the living room to get a consistent WiFi connection. In the bedroom it worked some of the time.

Had a great stay. Luis is a great host and he knows how to welcome his guests. Was very impressed by the garden and the lay out / interior of the house. Even though the house is walking distance from almost everything you need to see and do in Furnas, because of the garden it feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Definitely a place we would like to go back to. Thanks a lot, Luis.
