Quinta da Abelheira

The former estate "Quinta da Abelheira" is a charming property. Acquired in the early 20th century by the surgeon Dr. António Câmara, this mansion was built in the early 1930s, with traditional architecture and Azorean features, initially used to be a summer home. The spirit of the old days can still be felt today. In addition to the abundant green spaces on the estate, which invite you to relax, you can admire dozens of hand-painted tiles by one of the most famous Portuguese ceramists: Jorge Colaço. All this is in perfect harmony with the poems of Oliveira San Bento and Rolando de Viveiros. The garden also provides a saltwater swimming pool, a barbecue house, an orchard and lush vegetation. The present owners of the estate decided to rebuild the manor house, preserving its traditional architecture and family atmosphere. The rural-tourism concept was successfully achieved in the year 2000. If you are looking for peace and relaxation in a familiar, traditional and stylish environment, and you like to be close to the capital Ponta Delgada, the "Quinta da Abelheira" is the best place to stay. A charming place.
