Ambiente incrível, equipa do bar organizada e bastante competente, voltarei sempre que possível. Aconselho que visitem e provem os Cocktail's e sushi que servem no local, sabores ótimos e bebidas diversificadas e muito bem confeccionadas.
Experience of the lifetime at bargain price.
Experience of the lifetime at bargain price. Pure 5 star experience from the staff, to the rooms, insane breakfast (fresh passion fruits!!!), to the after hour excess to the garden and hot spring pool. You haven’t experienced life till you float in this amazing pool and look at the dazzling number of stars
The Terra Nostra Hotel was an overall relaxing and satisfying experience.
The hotel rooms were very nice and clean, the food at the restaurant was excellent with many dishes that focus on local products and dishes, with a sommelier that recommended wine pairings to go with it. Extra time to explore the large botanical garden, which despite us visiting outside of the peak season, was still lush with a wide-array of species from all across the world. While you can visit the garden and the thermal pool without staying at the hotel, we definitely recommend booking an overnight stay for a more intimate experience, as the hotel closes to the general public around 4 in the afternoon but is open 24 hours for hotel guests. We came back to the hotel as part of our group tour, and the thermal bath was absolutely packed, where as when we stayed at the hotel we were at one point the only guests in it in the evening. The Terra Nostra Hotel was an overall relaxing and satisfying experience.
Simplesmente fantástico-
Simplesmente fantástico. Simpatia e competência dos funcionários é simplesmente fabulosa. Ter acesso ao parque e ao tanque termal 24h é brutal. Muito bom mesmo Não temos dúvidas que voltaremos na proxima ida a S.Miguel. Infelizmente fomos apenas 1 noite.
Absolutely the best hotel on the island!
Definitely coming back to stay here again when their garden renovations are complete and open again! Beautiful hotel and gardens, great restaurant, even the free hotel breakfast was amazing!!! You can tell whoever owns this place puts a tremendous amount of love and care into this place, the grounds, and every detail of the hotel experience! Absolutely the best hotel on the island!!
The staff are outstanding.
We stayed here 16 years ago and generally a really nice hotel then made more so by the lovely botanic gardens and the thermal pool. A lot of recent investment has really changed things. The staff are outstanding. Remarkable amount of fluent English, so helpful and particularly in the restaurant where things generally run like clockwork. Now the Gardens are even more spectacular and the restaurant menu a joy. Worth mentioning the biggest and best bed probably ever slept in!
Amazing stay and experience.
Amazing stay and experience, perfect location to visit the region, also for family with young baby
The experience was incredible!
We booked the Terra Nostra Garden Hotel on the recommendation of our son's wedding planner. None of us had been there before so we were uncertain about what to expect. The experience was incredible - staff, restaurants, rooms, venue. After the park closes to the public, it remains open to hotel guests. Go then!!!
4 Glorious Days!
We had the best time. TN was worth the cab ride from the airport for four glorious days. We hiked to the gorgeous lake and another day rented a car to tour the island and we went canyoning. Just gorgeous! The staff was most helpful and our late afternoon meals at the outdoor bar area were wonderful. Highly recommend.
Unique hotel with the thermal pool and amazing garden
Unique hotel with the thermal pool and amazing garden. The breakfast was great. I liked the retro decor. The staff was great.
Unforgettable Hotel !
What an unforgettable spot! The service was top-notch - attentive and thoughtful. I haven't tasted such delicious meat in ages, perfectly cooked with zero fat. I'm already excited for my next visit! The highlight wasn't even the hot springs' water but their other facilities. I especially enjoyed the sauna, pool, and steam room - given that no one was there. In my opinion, this place surpasses the 5-star hotel I've previously stayed in Azores. A real gem that's more than worth a visit !
Elegance of another Era.
This is an art deco style hotel that reflects lts 1930s creation. Rooms are comfortable and mostly modernized. What is special about this place is it's huge thermal pool and it's 18 acre garden with over 800 camelias, a cycad garden and numerous water features. The thermal pool, complete with an island in it, is open to the public from 10 to 5, but is strictly for hotel guests thereafter.
There is a good breakfast buffet, and restaurant food is also very good. It is all served in an old school style of formality, which doesn't appeal to some but fits it's era and amenities.
Hotel às portas de um paraíso verde.
Um dos melhores hotéis que já fiquei. Os jardins e a piscina termal são compreensivelmente a atração principal. No entanto, o hotel era ótimo em todos os sentidos. A equipa foi uniformemente acolhedora e prestativa. O quarto (de frente para um pátio interno) era silencioso e impecavelmente limpo. E a comida era incrível. O pequeno almoço foi farto e gostoso, hambúrguer do bar com bacon, queijo e um ovo frito delicioso, a minha esposa e eu estávamos lá com um grupo, então não sei o preço, mas valeu cada cêntimo.
