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, open and lush space with comfortable facilities. They immediately fall in love with the comfort and invitation to be fully themselves and have a personal retreat 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. This summer we have a 2-burner camping gas stove as well and you can use your 470 plus Camping Gaz. We have some 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 minimize buying 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 when you leave too. We have clean and fresh-smelling compost toilets and wonderful hot outdoor showers heated by the sun (short 5-minute or less showers please!). We ask that you pee outside as much as possible and in different spots. We have a beautiful huge yoga deck as a hangout spot for guests.

We have the best bananas (year-round), granadilhas (sweeter larger passion fruit/maracujá) 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 and feel free to visit the other menu pages for more information.
