A corner of paradise

From the first moment we arrived at this place we felt overwhelmed by the beauty of the garden, the story behind every corner of the property, and most of all by the wonderful welcoming hosts. They made us feel like we were in paradise for our entire stay.

Fantastic!!

If you book the 5 senses cottage you will not be disappointed. It is beautiful, centrally located, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. John and Eldi are what you would want a host to be in every way. It is so much better than a hotel. They are great people. We read the other reviews before we booked our stay and decided to stay here because of those reviews. We know online reviews can be kind of unreliable sometimes so we expected to be surprised by some things. The thing is that we were not at all disappointed in any way and the reviews were legit!! We had the best time and the cottage was one of the best things about our stay on the island. Do not hesitate. Go here. Book here and be done with it. These are wonderful people. John and Eldi, we appreciate so much how ya'll run your business and how we were treated. John, you are a good man. Eldi, you are an amazing woman. We are proud to call you friends. Thank you so very much, Rocky and Larissa Rains

The BEST on the entire island! Nothing compares!

From the moment I started emailing John and Eldi, they were so welcoming. Upon arriving, they made sure we had everything we needed for our trip to be awesome AND the place and yard are truly EXTRAORDINARY! While the rental says breakfast is not included...it is if you do your own picking and cooking! The garden just steps from your door offers a variety of veggies, fruits and herbs. We had salad everyday, fresh herbs to put in the eggs (they have chickens and fresh eggs each morning!!!), I could squeeze fresh orange juice from the orange trees each morning....truly this was such a gift! Everyday Eldi would surprise us with our bed made, the place tidied and beautiful flowers in the living room. This couple really know how to make guests feel welcome and taken care of. I have stayed in quite a few VRBO's over the years and while others were pretty great....NOTHING compares to this incredible experience and incredible people we rented from. The rental is unique and sooooo comfortable! The place is perfect in size and has everything we needed! Outside there is a beautiful sitting area, hammock, and barbeque if we wanted to really cook dinner ourselves! The location is also great to go explore the whole island without having to drive very far! It is pretty central to everything and if you want the experience of living with the locals....this is it! My husband and I cannot wait to come back and will book our travel around what is available at Quintas dos Sentidos to be here with John and Eldi!

Sommerurlaub im Paradies

Wir haben mit unseren beiden Kindern zwei wundervolle Wochen hier verbracht. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr hilfreich, haben uns mit zahlreichen Ausflugstipps unterstützt und wir haben die Bananen und das Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten sehr genossen. Das Grundstück und das Apartment sind mit viel Liebe gestaltet worden, ein kleines Paradies. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

John and Eldi are wonderful hosts, they truly strove to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We stayed during a stretch of record heat yet it was always a relief to get back to the shade and steady breeze of the patio. Perfect place to start and end your days!

Wir haben hier ein paar sehr schöne Tage verbracht. Das Appartement ist sauber und mit vielen liebevollen Details eingerichtet. Der Garten ist wunderschön - ein toller Ort zum Entspannen. Wenn man kochen möchte, darf man sich an dem Gemüse und den Kräutern im Garten bedienen. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt.

The hosts Eldi and John were very welcoming and helpful with many suggestions of things to do. The property was beautiful and centrally located between two of the main mountains with a natural swimming pool beach area a 3 minute drive away. The fresh tomatoes, fruit, port and eggs were a tasty bonus. The unit had everything we needed. It felt like a home away from home and we would strongly recommend it.

Just as wonderful as th first time.

We stayed in this wonderful place in the beginning of our trip and fell in love because of its charm, wonderful hosts and amazing veggie garden. We left for awhile to visit some ofthe other island and then retuned to finish up our trip. When we returned to it I have to say what I appreciated most about it was it’s comfortable bed. We slept better here than anywhere. My favorite bed on this trip for sure. I really wish we could have stayed longer and took more advantage of the garden. We love making our own meals with fresh local ingredients! Nice outside sitting area too. Thank you guys so much for making us feel at home! Vicki and Dean

Charmingly Rustic with Amenities

We loved our stay with Jon and Eldi. Everything in the cottage is homemade and adorable You have the run of the property to pick your vegetables. We got fresh eggs from their chickens in the morning and the kitchen is equipped to make meals which is great because we are vegetarians and love to do our own cooking when we travel. They are both very open and friendly too. They really care about their clients which means a lot. We will be bookending our trip with them this year and are ready looking forward to seeing them again.

Excelente em todos os sentidos

Visitei a Ilha de São Miguel pela primeira vez e tive muita sorte em ter ficado alojado na Quinta dos Sentidos. É um alojamento excelente em todos os sentidos, com toda a qualidade e comodidade para se usufruir de umas excelentes férias. Muito bem decorada, com um estilo único. Encontrámos duas pessoas que em muito contribuíram para a nossa opnião positiva, pois foram incansáveis na simpatia. Foram muito além de tudo o que podíamos pedir e sentimos que não alugámos apenas um alojamento, mas sim sentimo-nos em casa entre amigos. Era impossível ter corrido melhor e ter saído mais radiante desta experiência. Muito obrigado à Quinta dos Sentidos!

Authentic and highly recommended

This accommodation is close to Ponta Delgada, only 10minutes drive away. Close by we found a small supermarket and some restaurants. Also it is close to the 7 Cities Lagoon (if you have a car you will be able to see the all island easy, and believe me it is worth it to visit all the amazing natural landscapes!!) This unique and authentic accommodation (a renovated wine cellar) had several surprises for us, like fresh fruit picked in the backyard, it tasted amazingly!!! It is a special place, it felt like home. The owners, the Pacheco family are formidable. We highly recommend and we will be back!

Maravillosa tranquilidad ¡¡

En Quinta dos sentidos nos sentimos en el paraíso...paz tranquilidad y belleza por el entorno. Fueron 5 días en la quinta y nos sorprendio la amabilidad y el cariño que recibimos de los propietarios, Joao y Eldi siempre dispuestos para ayudarnos y dar lo mejor para hacer nuestra estancia mas confortable. Quinta dos sentidos esta equipada completamente y no echas de menos nada (como estar en casa) hasta tienes un huerto ecológico con permiso de los propietarios para consumir lo que quieras. Estamos deseando volver ¡¡
