Staying With Us ...
The Quinta is a wondrous, peaceful and centralized location to stay on the island. Everyone who stays with us is
in awe of the nurturing and calming beauty, simplicity, and open and lush space with comfortable and clean facilities. You will immediately fall in love with the freedom to be fully youself and have a personal retreat connected to Nature, away from the hustle and bustle out there. This was always the intention for the Quinta.
We have an outdoor wood-fired cob rocket stove kitchen for campers and bungalow guests to heat water and make light meals with our high-efficient cooktop. We have a 2-burner camping gas stove and individual camping gas burner as well, to attach your 470 plus Camping Gaz or Green bottle. We also have 2 gas burners that people can use for a fee. We cookware, eatingware and silverware for our guests.
Our dining area is covered and cozy with communal cryptomeria tables and a water-friendly dishwashing station, compost pile and recycling containers. We ask that you PLEASE avoid and minimize buying/bringing non-eco-friendly plastic-packaged food and items and stick to bulk fruits & veggies without using plastic bags. We are happy to 
offer you reusable shopping bags and LOTS of plastic bags for your produce. We really live a clean life on the Quinta and respect the Earth and as we offer this experience to you, we ask that you make an effort to live like us while you are here and also when you leave.
We are especially proud of our clean and fresh-smelling compost toilets and wonderful luxurious hot outdoor showers heated by the sun (short 3-5 minute showers please!). We also offer you a huge yoga deck with some mats, a picnic table and some hangout furniture.
We have the best bananas (year-round), granadilhas and guavas for sale (in season) and happy
free-roaming chicken eggs too. In the summer we sell our sun-dried bananas that are an amazing high-energy snack for hiking, surfing, biking and any time. We know you will love it here! Please visit the other menu pages for more information.

They all come with a queen bed with bedding, a desk/table and stool or bench, electrical outlets, lights, night tables and shelves and hooks for your personal items. The Sunset bungalow has a wood-fired rocket heater and the Merkaba bungalow has a woodstove, for the wintertime. Sunrise bungalow has excellent passive solar heating due to its full day full sun exposure, ideal for cob wall thermal absorption duing the daytime hours and release in the evening and night hours. They all 3 have a sink on the outside of the building and outdoor seating.
