Once a wine-producing property and summer house of a typical Azorean family, "A Quinta" is located on the north shore of São Miguel. Its main house was built in the 19th century and, in the beginning of the 1900's, the basalt stone house, the garden and the aqueduct were added. Besides the grapes,bananas and oranges were also grown in the property.After 30 years, "A Quinta" was restored for tourism, and has three independent houses surrounded by a relaxing rural environment, stunning views and a lot of fresh air.
