Quinta Amaro AL

Gostei da tranquilidade, não poluição, vista magnífica.

We loved our host Maria, plus the fact that we were on a banana plantation right in the middle of Angra. Once through the entry arch you are in a completely different world. The flowers and the song birds made each day a joy. Our bedroom with private bath was cozy. The shared kitchen/sitting area provided a place to sit and connect with the other guest. Worked great. The fresh bananas every day were welcomed. Plus Maria delivered the most amazing homemade Passion Fruit custard we've ever had. Our accommodations did not come with onsite parking, but we were able to easily park on the street for free. There is also a great little market/cafe right across the street where we found the staff to be helpful and friendly.

Our accommodations had no AC, which we knew when making the reservation, but there was no electric fan available which would have made sleeping more comforable. In addition, several items needed attention and/or repair. The clothes washer and microwave oven did not work. The kitchen was lacking adequate cookware and cooking utensils which made it a bit more challenging in preparing any meals. The WiFi was not reliable. The shower head holder in our bathroom was broken. Yes, a minor item, but just something that added to things needing attention. Had all of the above items been functioning and/or taken care of, our stay would have been much better than it was.

Amazing location, great hosts, well-equipped kitchen

very rustic, had a bit of an ant problem (we did immediately receive anti-ant spray though)

Banana trees and hospitality

Ms. Maria is one of the warmest, welcoming, and positive hosts I've ever met. She made sure I'm enjoying my stay every day. She even provided me with fresh bananas picked from her farm, and one morning she brought me a delicious homemade dessert she made with passion fruit also picked from her farm. I hope to come back one day.

The house can get a bit cold and humid, if the weather outside is cold, but I guess that doesn't happen very often in the Azores. And anyway, Ms. Maria did provide me with additional blankets and she did ask if I needed more.

Good location. Lots of space

I was too cold. I got extra blanket but need to provide heater for guests
