Some excerpts from the website of Quinta do Rossio that might be useful
If you imagine a place out of this world where a dream becomes reality, you are on the right track. In the archipelago of the Azores, more specifically on the paradisiacal is the Quinta do Rossio. Located on the north of the island, the Quinta do Rossio, a place untouched by time and where goat farmers once lived, use to produce most of the fresh goat cheese to supply the city of Angra do Heroismo. Inevitably, due to the lack of infrastructure, the eight families that once lived in this area abandoned their homes, which continued to deteriorate throughout the long years, leaving traces of their existence to be appreciated to these days. This peaceful area, known as Rossio, lends its the name to the resort and officially belongs to the. However, by virtue of being on the border between the two villages, it benefits from the climate and infrastructure of Biscoitos, which is one of the villages in. most equipped for tourism. The Quinta do Rossio is located approximately 2500 meters from one of the best beaches on the island, the Biscoitos shoreline. Also within the same distance you can find in the center of Biscoitos the first aid and medical services, pharmacy, post office, banks, restaurants, supermarkets, church and public transportation. The main house on the Quinta, which was rebuilt with the intention of maintaining its original century style, consists of four bedrooms each with a double bed and private bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. In addition, the house is equipped with central heating and a fireplace in the living room. The original furniture, which for the most part belonged to the family, was restored in order that we may offer our guests a rustic and calming atmosphere in contrast to their daily routine. Also on the property, there are two houses to be rebuilt: one for additional guestrooms while the other is intended to be a traditional kitchen and arts and crafts area. To explore the Quinta do Rossio, you can do so by using the fitness circuit which measures 500 meters and can be used for exercise or to appreciate the breathtaking scenery including the sunsets on the horizon, just beyond the neighboring island of Graciosa. Additionally, moments of refuge can be found in the Quinta where various strategically placed seats can be used to relax, reflect, read and even draw or paint. Our guests are also welcome to participate in the daily tasks of rural life including caring for the horses and other animals of the Quinta. They may also watch the planed flight of the eagle (Aor) that can still be found in this area as well as other endangered species (Pigeons, owls, bats, etc.). In addition, guests can also enjoy horseback riding in the designated riding area that exists on the property, or enjoy the fresh air and magnificent views by taking long walks or rides through the mountains. For those who cannot neglect their daily prayers, a small chapel built in the honor of Our Lady of Grace is available on the property. For the lovers of hunting, this area is abundant with rabbits and Cornish hen; hunting trips with the local hunters can be organized. Furthermore, two steps from the beach area in Biscoitos, one can explore the harbor and go fishing, swimming, scuba diving or snorkeling in the unpolluted waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
