As part of a vacation package arranged by Azores.com, Terra Nostra Garden Hotel was the second leg of our trip. It has quite a reputation over the last 75 years, so it is quite well known. We enjoyed the area and tourist highlights, such as the volcanic springs etc. The dinner one night was 5 stars! I would plan to... More

The hotel from the front I have to say after seeing pictures online your heart does sink. Once inside you breath a sigh of relief. The reception is clean and welcoming with large areas to sit and relax while the work goes by. The reception staff a very welcoming and will do their very best to provide everything they can... More

The hotel is nice with friendly staff and a great food in the restaurant. The rooms are ok, and would be great with a slight renovation, stained carpets etc. We had a room with a small balcony with a great view of the botanical garden, that was an upgrade by the hotel. Nice geasture appreciated by us. The best thing... More

Frankly, we stayed in Terra Nostra Garden 3 yeras ago. But I cannot but write about one of my most memorable experiences. Perhaps it is the place in general - Azores - is a fantastic paradise on our Earth. But I loved everything about this nice hotel which is very becoming to the zone. It is not modern, it lacks...

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

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...
