Beautiful gardens and decor of hotel was great, particularly enjoyed thermal pools and the bar. Only disappointing part was we missed two days of our stay due to delays with flights so ended up losing out on a considerable amount of money. We did however get engaged in the gardens here during our stay so we will hopefully return in future to relive the moment!

We had a great stay at Terra Nostra Garden Hotel in Furnas!!! Highly recommend. Our room was clean and comfortable with wonderful amenities you don’t find at most hotels (towel warmers etc). The hotel itself is clean and updated, the grounds are beautifully maintained and the hot spring soaking pool and Jacuzzis are such a great amenity. Both restaurants on site are fantastic. Our dinner was delicious and honestly an experience, and the staff is so knowledgeable. They helped us pick up the perfect local wine to pair with our meal. It was a wonderful experience. Lunch and drinks out on the terrace in the afternoon was wonderful and they have such a great cocktail list. This hotel has an insane amount of amenities, but parking was up there for us. It was so nice to just walk out into a parking lot and get into ourcar and drive off and not have to deal with trying to park on the narrow streets that you find on the islands. When we return to the island, we will be staying here again and again. During our weeklong stay we hopped around to a few places, we stayed at 3 hotels overall, this was our number one pick. We loved the area and the town is beautiful!!!
