About Eduino and Bonita Sousa

Eduino and Bonita Sosua made a life transition when they moved to Sao Miguel in 2006. Eduino, born on Sao Miguel, immigrated as a young boy with his family to western Canada in 1968. He met Bonita in College. Throughout the years they have developed expertise in several career environments. Eduino´s profession as a welder developed into a successful art career in metal sculpting. His sculptures are displayed in Canada, United States, France and the Azores. A private collection of his works is displayed in Quinta das Acacias; the only private sculptural gardens in the Azores. Bonita, born in Canada has worked more than two decades in sales, admionistration and bookkeeping. These career experiences have led Eduino and Bonita into a rewarding business of investment and property managment.

After travelling to the Azores on vacation with their sons, they pursued the idea of purchasing a vacation home. In the process, they were introduced to Quinta das Acacias. They purchased the quinta in December, 2006 and opened the doors to world travellers in 2007 with new and improved operations.

Today, the proven success of Quinta das Acacias enables Eduino and Bonita to help outside visitors with the purchase and management of their dream vacation home,.

Our goal is to greet and service our guests to the best of our capabilities and see that they leave as new friends with many fond memories to return.

High standards

Submitted: September 18, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Dear Ed and Bonita,
Thank you for an excellent stay, we will definitely be recommending the Quinta and the Azores to our friends. The “greenery and scenery” were just wonderful for us as gardeners, scenery and coastal freaks. For the Quinta, we were so impressed with the high standard of the very well equipped property and the beautiful gardens. The convenient location gave easy access to all parts of the island and having the motorway nearby was great - fast and scenic, with virtually no traffic! For the island, we loved the scenery (both coastal and inland) and the plant life. The weather is “interesting” - my advice is to plan what you want to do and be flexible when you do it (and take a good book!) If it’s raining when you get up, wait a few hours and read a few chapters and then, it will be different. When you go out, head for the brightest patch of sky and you will usually find some sun.
We will be returning soon!!
