Worth the stay for the access to the gorgeous botanical garden and thermal pools 24/7. After a day of sight seeing and hiking, coming back to the thermal pools was amazing. The two nights we stayed the thermal pools were empty and felt like we had the place to ourselves.
 

Loved the gardens! The Hotel room was lovely. Especially appreciated the room attendant, she was very accommodating when I requested wash cloths for bathing. Our evening meals in the main Restaurant were fabulous as was the service! The servers in the bar area were excellent and friendly as well.
 

Fantástico hotel, com ótima localizado, excelente pequeno almoço e serviço. Acesso 24hr ao Parque permitindo nadar na piscina termal fora do horário e sem a confusão das visitas. O quarto espaçoso sempre impecavelmente limpo e com todas as comodidades (roupões, chinelos, pantufas), das melhores camas de hotel. Um hotel de 4 estrelas com serviço de um de 5.
 

This hotel is simply amazing. We got offered an upgrade to a Suite. When we arrived to our room we had a basket of goodies waiting for us. The hotel is simply beautiful. Every afternoon we were surprised by little gifts waiting for us in our room. The natural hot spring swimming pool open 24/7 is the best thing you can wish for. We loved to go for swims after dinner when it was cold at night and watch the stars. We had dinner twice in the hotel and the food was delicious. I would recommend the"cozido" soup, the lighter and more interesting version of the typical "cozido". We had a marvellous stay.
 

We LOVE this hotel and always stay between the US and trips to Europe. The staff (everyone from the door man to the reception, the waitress staff and housekeeping) is exceptionally friendly and goes out of their way to make sure your stay is amazing. The breakfast is the best in Portugal. The juice is fresh squeezed, the fruit is fresh with good presentation, there are many savory hot dishes and the pastries are plentiful. There is something for everyone. The rooms are clean and comfortable and we have stayed in both the older section of the hotel and the newer section and we like both. The mineral pool is amazing and having the wonderful robes helps when you get out. The indoor facility with the pool, Turkish bath, sauna and massage is clean and well kept. The botanical gardens are out of this world and will take you awhile to walk through. Don’t miss these because they are exceptional. We love coming to Furnas and we have stayed in other hotels here but now we will only stay at this hotel. Don’t miss it, you will not be disappointed.
 

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 a 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 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. 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.
 

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!!

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, perfect location to visit the region, also for family with young baby
 

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!!!

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. The breakfast was great. I liked the retro decor. The staff was great.
 

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 !
 

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.
 

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.
