This was a return visit to Minuvida for me, and I found this welcoming space even better than the last visit! The rooms are beautiful old-world charming, and the breakfast, all locally sourced, was terrific. As a vegan person I especially loved the local breads, fruits and Ana's amazing granola. The upgraded shared kitchen space was great for preparing meals when we ate in. Also, being centrally located on Sao Miguel makes getting for hikes very easy! Armindo was fantastic - welcoming, so very warm, and also a great source for recommendations. Rimi's yoga classes were inspiring, and Joao is always a steady, warm presence around the Quinta. Their commitment to the environment was also evident and another sign of caring.

When we arrived we were so happily greeted by Moo and Biscuit (Biscoito) in the parking area....two of the sweetest dogs I've ever met! Armindo, Minuvida's manager was equally welcoming! Telling us about the Lodge and all that was important to know upon arrival as he showed us to our rooms. Each morning and evening we indulged in a feast: fruits, yogurt, local cheese, a delicious chicken dish and homemade lasagna were some of the offerings loving prepared by their chefs. Rimi and João were wonderful hosts, taking us to explore hiking trail and hot spring pools while sharing with us the history or fun facts of their Island. Beautiful place and beautiful people xo

I hosted a women's retreat at Minuvida with 6 participants who absolutely loved the experience. The accommodations were comfortable, the staff was warm and inviting, the food was healthy and delicious, and the Quinta itself was stunning. I'll definitely be hosting more retreats at Minuvida!

We stayed in Munivida last year, returning in 2023 felt like home again and even better! If you are looking for quiet, homelike, sustainable and authentic place, taken care by truly dedicated and loving people - choose Minuvida. Great and cozy accommodation, immersed in lush green, offering breakfast with local food as well as cooking facility. Lodge easily accessible from every part of the Island and featuring private parking. This stay was a very special indeed: I was stunned by BIG SURPRISE engagement party that was secretly arranged by lovely Minuvida team and my girlfriend! We had it all: guests, romance at fireplace, sacred ceremony and home made engagement cake! Can not wait to return!

Beautiful cosy place with friendly environment and sustainability at heart. Clear instructions for everything In English and Portuguese. Large beautiful garden with a common kitchen, yoga studio, hammock and a swimming pool. Two very calm dogs and few cats are roaming around. Loved it.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place: the setting, staff, food, yoga and experience overall were all delightful, inspirational, heart-warming, soul-stirring and fun. From the morning cappuccinos to the farm-to-table feast (upon request), from the hikes to the exceptionally good, spiritual yoga, to being able to pick a salad fresh from the garden, my friends and I loved everything about this place. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are great. It rains a lot here so expect a bit of mustiness and moisture.

Minuvida is centrally located in Sao Miguel. The hosts are warm and will help with restaurant suggestions, reservations and ideas for fun and scenic activities. Minuvida is very conscious about sustainability and are thoughtful about how they encourage guests to be also. The breakfasts are scrumptious and fresh. The pool was clean and a great temperature.

This location is led with passion for the environment. The owners are leading it with love, attention to details and attention to every guests. A small talk here, a little chat there. The pets of the house are as well the pets of the guests. Everybody welcomes you. We loved the guest kitchen and the garden area, while breakfast was basically more like a local discovery travel, that was not fully filling your stomache. The concept fits. It is traditional, with the comfort this brings...and everything feels like well balanced out. Definitely a good choice.

Had a great stay at Minuvida. Luis was a wealth of information and super helpful every weekday during breakfast. He also was able to recommend places to see and things to do, make reservations, and give us "insider tips" like where to park. Jaoo, one of the owners, took us on a great hike that we never would have found on our own. The property had a lot of space and was a nice central location to get to other sites and places on the island during the day. Our room was nice as well and had everything we needed. It was also helpful to have breakfast daily and a place to store some groceries for snacks and small meals. We had a covid "incident" when it was time to return home and they were really wonderful, helping navigate the system and make sure all was taken care of. Highly recommend!
