Lovely Quinta with the most amazing view. The rooms are beautifully decorated with antiques and such attention to detail to keep the charm of the Quinta while keeping up with modern amenities. The breakfast was delicious. Joana and Manuela were the most wonderful hosts and getting to know them was such a pleasure. They gave great suggestions for seeing the island. Zappa the dog is such a love bug. We hope to be back soon!
My stay at Quinta de São Pedro in São Jorge was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled between dramatic landscapes and the endless blue of the Atlantic, this hidden gem feels like it was pulled straight from a dream. We only spent one night here — a romantic surprise planned by my boyfriend — but it left an unforgettable mark on both our hearts. The staff went above and beyond, welcoming us with a bottle of champagne to celebrate our moment together. It was such a thoughtful and tender gesture that set the tone for a truly magical evening. Waking up to a breathtaking view of Pico, with the soft light of morning gently filling the room, was surreal. The intimate breakfast we enjoyed while overlooking this stunning scenery felt like something out of a fairytale. Every bite was accompanied by tranquility and the subtle sounds of nature. The swimming pool, surrounded by lush greenery and open skies, was a perfect spot to unwind. And the bed — oh, the bed — was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Quinta de São Pedro is not just a place to stay; it’s a place to feel, to breathe, and to reconnect. I left with a heart full of gratitude and memories that will stay with me forever.
This was a magical stay and my heart longs to be here again. Joanne was AMAZING! Such a beautiful soul. She was caring and gave us great tips for our stay. I had such a good time chatting with her and her daughter. They do so much to make their place a home away from home for their guests. I really loved it.
Joanna and her mom were the kindest hosts and made us feel instantly at home and cared for. We came to the Quinta a bit injured after a scooter incident and Joanna and her mom took care of us and drove us to the medical Center. They really went above and beyond to make our stay amazing! They also gave great tips and advice on where to go and what to visit. The Quinta and the apartments are beautiful and comfortable with and the views are stunning! We loved the breakfast too. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Joanna and Manuela for your kindness and hospitality!
