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.

Vilpitön Ystävällisyys

Submitted: December 2, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Vietimme yhden mieleenpainuvimmista lomistamme Azoreilla. Saari, sen luonto ja asukkaat, pääsivät yllättämään meidät päivittäin positiivisesti. Isäntäväen ja asukkaiden vilpitön ystävällisyys ja avuliaisuus sekä puutarhan kauneus ja rauhallisuus saanevat meidät palaamaan tänne vielä uudestaan ja suosittelemaan paikkaa varauksetta. Tässä muutamia vinkkejä paikan päälle matkustaville.

Vuokra-auto on lähes ehdoton. Bussit, taksit ja valmismatkat toimivat, mutta parin päivän totuttelun jälkeen liikenteessä pysyy ihan hyvin mukana. Ruokailu ulkona on edullista ja Bonita suosittelemissa ruokapaikoissa kannattaa käydä. Vaellusreitit löytyvät juuri niistä paikoista mihin ne on karttaan merkitty, mutta niistä osa on suljettu aika-ajoin. Ponta Delgadan rantakadun varrelta olevasta turisti-infosta saat kartat avoinna olevista reiteistä. Infosta saat osoitteen paikkaan josta voit ostaa kalastusluvan laguuneihin ja joihinkin jokiin, muista ottaa passi luvan ostoon mukaan. Luvan hintaan homma ei kaadu, sillä 10 vrk lupa oli hinnaltaan 1,03 €. Sisämaan kalastuksesta ja vaelluksesta kiinnostuneille voin antaa lisävastauksia enemmänkin, kun pyydätte Bonitalta e-mailini.

Saaren opasteet kyliin, vaellusreiteille ja kohteisiin ovat vähän niin ja näin, mutta kysyvä ei tieltä eksy. Me eksyimme noin viisi kertaa päivässä ja löysimme itsemme milloin lehmän lypsypaikoilta tai ajamassa takaisin päin tulosuuntaan - ei kannata hermostua - nähtävää riittää joka suunnassa.

Katsottavista kohteista jokaiselle muodostuu varmasti omat suosikkinsa, mutta meille luontoihmisinä parasta antia tarjosivat Sete Citades, Caldeira Velha, Terra Nostra, Correanan teeviljelmä, Lagoa da Fogo ja ehdoton suosikkimme oli Furnas. Kylistä meidän ykköseksemme nousi Povoacao ja siellä ravintola Jardim.

Jottei pettymyksiä tule, niin tulee muistaa, ettei Azorit ole sään puolesta mikään auringonottokohde, mutta ulkoilijalle se on just hyvä. Ravintoloihin sinua ei kiskota sisään, eikä kaulallasi todellakaan roiku kiikareita, objektiivejä, t-paitoja, rantapyyhkeitä tai aurinkolaseja sadan metrin kaupunkikävelyn jälkeen...

Emotional experience

Submitted: May 20, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
For me, during my brief stay here, it was a spiritual and emotional experience of nature. Ed and Bonita, you have a stress-free and tranquil environment that feeds one´s soul. This is a place that I find peaceful and able to escape from life´s problems. Hearing the songs of the birds and church bells, smelling the sweet scents of flora; this combination describes ´paradise´.

We will return and recommend you to our friends. Thank you, Ed and Bonita for providing and sharing your paradise for us! Wish you the best that life can bring to you in happiness and health for many more years!|

We really enjoyed this beautiful place for only 7 days. You built a wonderful place to relax and retire, which is what we did each evening when we came from our sightseeing tours.
We wil never foget the ringing of the church bells, the parrots and the cat... We are sure to see you again. Thank you very much for a pleasant stay.
