Terra Nostra Garden Hotel

A large hotel inside the Terra Nostra Garden in Furnas, Azores, housed in a 1930s art deco building. Park and thermal pool access runs 24 hours, the staff are attentive, and the breakfast is a draw.

Highlights

  • 24-hour park access
  • Thermal pools in the park
  • Terrace overlooking the gardens

Good to know

  • Drink prices are high compared to other hotels
  • Large hotel, not an intimate setting
  • Some rooms feel dated and small
