The gardens and thermal swimming pool are superb. The hotel had an excellent restaurant and the room had a great view. Its apparently about to be refurbished, but we enjoyed the 'Art Deco' style. Its a good walk from the lake, but close to the village - its only a small village (though large by Azorean standards!)

Its a charming old style Hotel but in good condition, freindly staff, good breakfast. You also can enter the Garden without paying the entrance of 5 Euro. Inside the Garden is a Thermal Pool which you can use till 23.00. Just rent towels for 2 Euro per Stay. The pool has yellow-brown ferro-watter, so it makes white clothes brown, better... More

I took a 4 night stay with my wife and 2 friends - and was pleased with our choice. The food was enjoyable and represented good value. The decor is due to be refurbished soon and I believe the hotel will close for a few weeks/months. There were many people visiting the gardens, and as others have pointed out it... More

I stayed for three nights as part of a Ramblers walking holiday. The decor is a little tired, and the carpet in my bedroom was stained. The lack of air conditioning was a problem at night. However, the location, with the fantastic gardens, makes up for everything. Breakfast was very good - buffet with a wide choice, and the evening... More

This is an amazing property with direct access to a phenomenal garden and incredible hot spring-fed pool. At one time, the hotel must have been as good as it got. While I'm fond of old world "charm," the two rooms we had were a bit too worn to be described that way. Worse for us was the desk staff, who... More

This hotel has old fashioned charm, check in in staff were friendly, as were dining room staff. The rooms were fairly comfortable and we had a garden view balcony. We travelled with Sunvil and the couple who were checking in at the same time but were independent had to pay extra for a garden view - worth checking at time... More

Terra Nostra Garden Hotel is centrally located in Furnas. The staff is very helpful - with advice for restaurants, walking, and they rent bicycles if you so desire. The rooms could use some updating - and I believe the hotel is due for a remodel this Fall. The best thing about the hotel is that it offers you free admission... More

Excellent hotel with service from a bygone age. Peaceful setting with beautiful gardens and natural spa bathing in the grounds. Village and area is pretty but very quiet with little going on in the evenings. Rooms were well laid out and comfortable and public areas were spacious and relaxing. Staff were very welcoming and provided great service. Food in restaurant... More

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
