Quinta do Espírito Santo
Rua Dr. Teotónio Machado Pires, 36, São Bartolomeu,, 9700-517 Angra do Heroísmo, Portugal – Great location - show map
Breakfast was delicious, the hosts provided various kinds of dark bread (when they learnt we are from Germany) apart from home-made jams and cakes. As we had to stay another night because of the ferry, they very kindly offered us a different room. If you are interested you can learn a lot about social and cultural life in the Azores, the host is a mine of information!

Property questions and answersBrowse questions from guests for anything extra you want to know about the propertyThe property usually replies within a few minutes
Is there a shuttle available to get to the closest beach nearby? What are the other transportation options?
No there are no shuttles. In fact there are no shuttles on the island for almost anything. What we strongly recommend is to rent a car - it can be a small one. With that you can visit everything and considering the alternatives like cab it is cheaper. There are buses, but they were established more for the locals so they connect villages and towns and not the view points and sites you might be interested on.Answered on 6 September 2019How can I get to the closest beach from the property?
the closest point to swim in the Atlantic is called Negrito. It is a small bay (you can find it on the web) with a XVI century fortress at one side. It is about 2 km distant. That is where we go, when we have time.Answered on 6 September 2019
