Located in the fascinating Furnas Valley and boasting a beautiful botanical garden with natural spa bathing/swimming pool, this hotel is a short drive from various pleasant volcanic beaches and one of the island's golf courses. However the highlight of a visit here is the local speciality stew called a 'Cozida' where the ingredients of various cuts of meat and vegetables... More

The hotel has an excellent location inside one of the most beautiful gardens of the world, but it need urgently a modernisation. Good food but not different from the mainland when it's located in a very special area of the world and with a special climate that could imagined a special restaurant. Service very friendly but expensive hotel concerning the... More

just spent 5 nights here. On checkin we were assigned to a room in the old wing -- dark, dirty carpet, balcony so small only one person could stand on it and a view over the restaurant roof with dirty pipes and AC units and the room opposite --- for this I paid 170 euro . Told there were no... More

The hotel is located just beside a beautiful park with nice hot spring. The room in the old wing was small and dark. And one night a terrible and irritating noise was present so we couldn’t sleep. It appeared that the noise was caused by an open hot tap in the room next door. It took two hours before this... More

This is a median hotel, with normal rooms, a good bed, a good bathroom and some good amenities, like a bottle of water and some fruit in the room. The breakfast was very good with few itens, but very fresh and local. The staff was not that friendly but that's OK. But the better and the worst are not this:... More

This hotel wouldn't be more than 40 EUR for the double with BF in mainland Portugal - Terra Nostra's owner Bensaude Hoteis charge up to 140 EUR!! These rates are by far too much for such dated rooms, hotel and facilities. There was no renovation the last 12 years, the hotel itself is from 1935.... Urgent renovations needed asap! Breakfast...

We didn't stay in the hotel - this is a review of the restaurant only. At lunch time this is extremely busy. We were found a table and service was excellent. However we made the mistake of ordering the set lunch, not being very hungry. This was clearly aimed at tour buses and trade not expected to return. Although served... More

I stayed here for three days with my husband. On the positive side, the hotel staff was very helpful, the town of Furnas is lovely, and having access to the gardens was an advantage. That said, I would not suggest this hotel to a friend. The decor throughout the hotel was tired, and the carpets were stained. The bed in... More

Although it looks a litle tired on the outside this hotel is a real jem inside. It is a 1930's hotel preserved in its essence but with modern conveniences added. You expect Poirot to appear around every corner! The restaurent is good and convenient but if you want cheaper options there are plenty close by in the town. The real... More
