More on Quinta das Acacias: Quinta das Acacias is not just a place to bed down. It is a romantic affair between the natural beauty that exists within and an individual?s passion for creative form and understanding of all that is beautiful. Within its walls, the grounds are to become a sculptural garden composed with the natural environment and contemporary art. . Rental car services can also be reserved. Don't like to drive - we have a tour guide available to show you all the secret places of this paradise island.

Treasures to experience: To visit Sao Miguel, known as the Ilha Verde (Green island), is also to discover a natural world that seems to have been hidden for a reason or purpose. The close proximity of attractions are easily accessible, however, to observe and admire it, will prolong your stay indefinitely. Nurtured by nature and time, one will find the crater lakes of Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo (Fire Lake) and Lagoa das Furnas (Furnas Lake). For any traveller, there is no shortage of activities, including hiking trails, black sand beaches and warm waters, natural pools, and thermal pools that soak away any kind of blues.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S EVE IN SAO MIGUEL, AZORES Both travel and accommodation are at their lowest, giving you more to spend on your Christmas holiday. The city streets are festive with lights and decorations and the stores are full of beautiful crafted gifts to choose from. Stop at a local cafe and have an espresso while watching the ocean waves crashing against the rocks or have a glass of local wine on a romantic evening after strolling through streets. All, at your own relaxing pace. The rich green countryside and temperate temperatures are great for exploring the island. Staying at Quinta das Acacias is the perfect way to have a group of family or friends together during this special time. Imagine the fireworks on New Year's Eve from the city and surrounding villages seen in the Quinta while enjoying a complimentary glass of champagne. What a great time to see Sao Miguel! What a great way to create special holiday memories!
