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.

Garden Paradise on San Miguel

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 23 March 2013 Date of Stay: February 2013
March 24th 2013

This is our last day here at Quinta das Acacias. My wife Anne and I have been here for one month and are leaving with mixed emotions. The weather this past month has been one of the worst Marchs on record, with rain, wind and more rain. If we had been staying anywhere else other than here at Quinta das Acacias we would have gone home earlier than planned. Our hosts, Bonita and Ed have been wonderful. They have gone out of their way to make our stay with them more than enjoyable. With their knowledge of the island and guidance, we were able to find the best places to dine and to purchase foodstuffs when we wished to eat at home in our more than comfortable cottage. The kitchen was well outfitted with lots of pots, pans and other cooking utensils. The little wood stove in the living area made the cooler evenings very comfortable as we sipped on the wonderful wines of the Azores and munched on fine San Miguel cheese.
Ed has done a fabulous job with the gardens, as his artistic traits are displayed around every nook and cranny. The cottages are situated such that each one has a view of the beauty of the plants and trees around them but each one has been set so that there is lots of privacy for each. We not only enjoyed the beauty of the gardens, but we were able to eat some of their bounty. The bananas from the trees and the herbs under the trees added local flavour to the fish purchased fresh at the market.
I can't say enough about the beauty of the island of San MIguel. It is a lush green garden with the radiant colour of the wild plant life along every roadway. It has to be seen in person to be appreciated. No photos or words can do it justice.
We have travelled from one end of the island to the other, up and down all the back roads, over the mountains and into every town and city. There is no other place that we would consider staying on San Miguel when we return the next time.

Owner's Response: It has been a great pleasure to meet and spend time with you Jim and Anne. We are always excited to meet our guests and feel their friendship long past the days they stayed with us. Our guests are all special to Ed and I and consider all of you friends for life.
Thankyou for choosing our little paradise and hope to see you again.

Unforgetable|

Review Submitted: 19 September 2012 Date of Stay: September 2012
Today the weather is a bit dreary or gloomy. In other words, the garden is getting lots of welcome rain! A perfect day to do some drawing, writing and enjoying life sheltered by our porch roof. Not being a native speaker, I would never use the correct words to express myself the way I would like to. Fortunately, Robert Brink found the words for me; "Quinta das Acacias and Bonita and Eduino will find a place in the heart of anybody fortunate enough to experience them!" We are fortunately one of the few that may experience the magical Sao Miguel, magical Quinta and magico neighbors! Thank you for the unforgetable memories! Thank you for the nice conversations and laughter. Thank you for the opportunity to generate my own waterfall maquette. Thank you!

Good luck with accomplishing your dreams on building some water and relaxation features in the gardens. For some inspiration, I drew you "a pond area" with a way" too heavy" waterfall. Hope you like it! maybe 2014? Guests will find one of your dreams realized?!

Review Submitted: 19 September 2012 Date of Stay: August 2012
Dear Bonita and Ed,
What a blessing you have been to me. Your property is beautiful and its such a welcoming environment. I appreciated your hospitality and all the pamphlets of places to visit. Sao Miguel will always hold a special place in my heart and the Quinta will always have many memories for me to share with others. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful and I´m showing my pictures to everyone. This place should be experienced by so many others. (You´ve been blessed to bless others).
May you continue to be gracious hosts for this island and always have provisions in order to bless others. Peace to You,

Paradise

Review Submitted: 19 September 2012 Date of Stay: July 2012
Dear Bonita and Eduino,

It was with great pain in our heart that we had to leave your beautiful quinta in Livramento. How peaceful and relaxing it was! And the weather was great. We enjoyed virtually everything we did. The central localization made it possible to visit the island from east to west. It was very comfortable returning to the yellow cottage after an active day, and enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace, overlooking the beautiful garden with its sculptures from Ed’s hand, in all its grandeur and splender. The tranquillity is reflected in the little tiles which can be found a several places in the garden, depicting philosophical verbs from various artists. What a fantastic achievement you both have made by realizing this little paradise and allowing us to share it with you. Your kindness and warm personality made us feel directly at home. We miss it already and hope to come again soon. All the best!
Luc and Diana, August 2012.

Prachtige natuur

Review Submitted: 19 September 2012 Date of Stay: August 2012
Sao Miguel is een prachtig eiland waar veel te zien en te doen is. Het eiland is niet groot (65 x 15 km), maar door het terrein en de bochtige wegen zijn de afstanden in tijd groter dan ze voor Nederlanders lijken. Wij waren er twee weken en hebben gewandeld, kratermeren en vulkanische geisers gezien, in de oceaan gezwommen, dolfijnen gezien en genoten van de rust en prachtige natuur. De eilanders zijn gastvrij en vriendelijk.
De Quinta das Acacias ligt op een mooie plek, op slechts 5 km buiten de hoofdstad Ponta Delgada, 2 km van het strand en 10 km van het mooie (maar vaak zwaar bewolkte) kratermeer Lagoa do Fogo. Allerlei plaatsen die interessant zijn voor bezoekers van het eiland zijn vanaf de Quinta in korte tijd te bereiken. Er zijn op de Quinta slechts een paar huisjes, verspreid gelegen in een prachtig aangelegde tuin met terrasjes op verschillende niveaus, met trappen en paadjes afgezet met vulkanisch steen. Op de terrasjes groeien bomen, bloemen en op meerdere plaatsen is de tuin versierd met beelden gemaakt door de eigenaar. De huisjes zijn comfortabel en uitgerust met alles wat je op een vakantie nodig kunt hebben. Het huisje dat wij hadden gereserveerd heeft een veranda waarop je lekker in de buitenlucht kunt eten en van de zonsondergang genieten. Je kunt gebruik maken van een vaste barbecue, de plaatselijke supermarkt heeft heel spannende vis die zeer de moeite waard is om te proberen. De eigenaars van de Quinta, Bonita en Ed, doen hun best om het hun gasten helemaal naar de zin te maken. Ze zijn aanspreekbaar en bereikbaar voor advies over diverse activiteiten, maar geven de gasten alle privacy die ze nodig hebben.
Onze vakantie op Sao Miguel was buitengewoon plezierig en comfortabel. Quinta das Acacias is een aanrader voor mensen die een rustige plek zoeken, weg van de massa maar toch dicht bij de plaatsen waar de belangrijkste activiteiten te doen zijn. Wij gaan zeker nog eens terug!
