Quinta Do Bom Despacho

Close to the center with a cozy atmosphere.

We stayed here for a month in July 2024. The house and property, in general, are quite spacious. We had plenty of room to store our things and relax after a long day. For us, the location was great—close to the airport and major roads, which made arrival and exploring very easy.

The place is really nice, surrounded by greenery, and conveniently accessible by car to the airport and the center of Ponta Delgada. The bathroom was clean, and the room was spacious with comfortable mattresses. On our last night, we noticed a cockroach (we later learned they are common on the island), so we called the host, who arrived promptly and resolved the issue. My suggestion would be to provide insecticide for guests.

This place is extremely well-maintained and clean with a welcoming atmosphere. Worth every moment!

My boyfriend and I spent three months here, and we loved it! The community is super nice, everything is organized, and people are always willing to help and spend time together. There are yoga classes and workshops too. The island has lots of opportunities for hiking and being in nature; it's incredibly beautiful. I can recommend this place to everyone!

Thank you for a great time here! I love all of you!

The Perfect Blend of Community, Sustainability, Cleanliness, and Care

Staying here for a month, I immediately felt welcomed into a vibrant community. The leadership team, led by Joana and Jaime, showed a remarkable dedication to sustainability and community-building.

Their staff consistently provided exceptional care, ensuring every guest felt at home.

The place itself is a stunning historic Azorean manor that beautifully balances its historical charm with modern sustainability practices. It's clear that maintaining a low environmental impact is a central ethos.

Situated just a 10-minute walk from central Ponta Delgada and conveniently close to the highway for exploring Sao Miguel, the location couldn't be better.

The cleanliness was impressive—maintaining such high standards in a humid climate is no small task, yet every corner of the house was spotless, thanks to the diligent cleaning team.

My experience here exceeded expectations, delivering exceptional value and a wonderful start to my time in the Azores. A heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for an unforgettable stay.

Fantastic coliving space, and a commitment to the true concept of environmental sustainability. I loved the natural pool.

Amazing coliving; house, amazing garden, amazing pool with frogs and small kitten playing around. The people are all very friendly too. Honestly, one of the most human and nice places I've stayed at. The place would be even better if the room doors would just have a tad bit more isolation.

I had a wonderful coliving experience in this historical mansion where the concept of sustainability is mastered. Beautiful and tranquil natural swimming pool, plenty of gardens - sensory herbal one, a lot of vegetables and fruits, orchard gardens with banana trees, maracuja, kiwi, and even own coffee bushes...plenty of nooks and corners in the grounds where one can just relax and savor the unique atmosphere...Highly recommended if seeking escape from the daily routine and find mindfulness...The cats, the froggies, and the birds will accompany you during your stay at this finest establishment.
