Apartment is spacious, clean and very well equipped. The location, near to the Parque Terra Nostra and various restaurants is extremely convenient. The kitchen included everything needed and the bathroom was clean and well set up with great water pressure. The host was very helpful with start up and other messages. Having an outdoor patio was also very handy.

The location was beautiful and our host was warm friendly and extremely kind. During our stay at Pedro’s do Mar the night before our stay at Quinta de Santana, our daughter became violently I’ll after having eaten at Pedros do Mar’s restaurant. Pedros do Mar was unwilling to let us check out late but our host at Quinta de Santana came to our rescue and allowed us to check in early. We cannot thank him enough for his kindness. This speaks to the personal touch offered by an independently run business vs a corporate run hotel. I also appreciated our hosts ability to speak multiple languages. When my Portuguese failed my I could revert to English or French.

The space is beautiful , bright and incredibly located ! I was able to do everything on foot ! To be exact - Parque Terra Nostra - a 2 minute walk - basically its back yard. Caldeiras - an 18 minute super scenic incredible walk . Lagoa Furnas is about a 35-40 minute walk - be ready to either walk along the road for a portion (much flatter option) or take the other path which is beautiful but incredibly steep for about half of it (just be ready for a proper hike ) - it's very well marked . Many restaurants, shops (the famous Quejaria Furnense-3 minutes, Bolos Levedos (typical incredible bread) de Rosa Quental 1 minute, and much more) . This traditional bread was also delivered to the door by the owner upon my arrival - what a warm welcome ! You will love mystical Furnas and have everything at your door step if you stay here :)
Wonderful place to stay in Furnas! It is quiet, but 5 minute walk to everything. Below is our itinerary for the three days we stayed here:

Evening- Dinner at Mirando (Civado Stew is delicious and pudding/chorizo)
Wednesday, July 5th
Monring- early breakfast and hike Salto de Prego
Day- road trip to Nordeste, beaches, miraduros, hike, tea Plantation Gorreana
Evening- hot pools at Breija and A Quinta outside for dinner
Thursday, July 6th
Morning- hike waterfalls at Gena (go before 9:30 so not crowded)
Day- Lunch and hot pools at Terra Nostra Hotel and Gardens

Beautiful destination full with bubbling hot waters, "jurastic" parks, hot thermal baths and potable springs. Do not miss to see how the Cozido is cooked on the hot waters and to taste it at Miroma restaurant or Tony's. From here, go to the free of charge park with nice waterfalls Jardim Botânico da Ribeira do Guilherme. On the way back to Ponta Delgada, definitely make a reservation to Centro de Interpretação Ambiental da Caldeira Velha and visit the Gorreana tea plantation if you like.

Beautiful spot was pleasantly surprised by the amount of things available in the local shop, we had a perfect kitchen for cooking so we didn't get to eat and can't comment on the local restaurants.

Furnas is a a great location to visit when on the island. Beautiful town and the seeing the calderas is a must when there. The gardens are beautiful and great for an extended walk. Eating the cozido from the volcanic waters was a highlight. Very good!

Furnas has a lot of interesting features- gardens, thermal baths, spa, Cozido meal, and restaurants.
It is easy to walk around
It is also handy to a lot of the other places . Sete Cidades was about the furthest away and took about 1 hour .
We really liked staying in one spot and doing day trips from there .
We ate at Tony’s right in walking distance both for our Cozido lunch and another evening for dinner .

Our in town stay in Furnas was just right for us but 3 days (vs. 5) would be sufficient if time was an issue. We did not have a car and took a taxi from Ponta Delgada (45 Euros) and everything in Furnas was within walking distance of our Casa Alivas unit including Furnas Lake, the fumarolas cooking cozido (local stew), Parque Grena and Jose do Canto forest garden & waterfall located around the lake (about a 45-50 min walk from town center) . Additionally, Terra Nostra Garden was 2 blocks from our accommodation as well as many "discoveries" just walking through the town area including a cascading waterfall & aquarium at a local park where you can put your feet in the warm water, the steaming thermal calderas at another part of town, many restaurants, fruit shops, markets, & stores along with several historic buildings and sites. The bakery/cafe of Gloria Moniz (2 locations--go to the one called "Bolos Levados") is not only helpful & friendly but provides an excellent opportunity to try local tasty treats while enjoying an outdoor garden setting. Bolos Levados are a local Portuguese sweet muffin good for sandwiches or toast. Must try.
We like to hike and walk so exploring Furnas was a worthwhile part of our 2 week adventure to Sao Miguel.
Our group of four adults (two couples) spent 4 nights in this lovely split-level house. It had the kitchen, living room, patio and a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, plus two more bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The hosts were very gracious, showing us around the house and giving us restaurant recommendations. They also left us some cookies, chocolates, jams and cheese from Terceira as a welcome gift, plus bottled water, tea, coffee and sugar. The house was quite spacious and comfortable.
This hotel is located on the outskirts of Furnas and overlooks the town itself. Easy walking distance to the main attractions: Terra Nostra gardens, Poca da Dona Beija hot springs, restaurants like Miroma (serves an exceptional cozido das Furnas), & Calderas Square (Largo das Caldeiras).
Spotlessly clean, has WiFi, a pool (which I didn't use with hot springs so close by), and a bar. The 10 euro additional charge for breakfast (which they warn you in advance about) is well worth it.
The apartment is located in the center of Furnas, very close (walking distance) to good restaurants and thermal springs. The check-in was easy, the instructions were provided remotely by the host via phone. Common areas (kitchen, living room) are very nicely decorated, and the kitchen is also fully equipped and useful. There is a free public parking available just across the street, which is great. Other guests in the house were quiet and respectful. The value for money was OK.
The location was excellent for access to the sites, resturants and village of Furnas. It was very spacious apartment with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed and furniture. We had a very late arrival and the host asked if there were any items, like food and drink that they could get for us to make out arrival better. They supplied us with the items we asked along with some additional snacks and a bottle of wine which were greatly appreciated.
Well represented, easy to find, well located. Apartment was very clean & spacious and had a great little patio. Kitchen was well equipped. The owner, Pedro, was very responsive and added thoughtful touches such as fresh fruit basket on arrival, fresh milk, fresh bread rolls each morning and pods to make coffee. Groceries, restaurants and sites within easy walking access. We would definitely recommend!
The staff goes above and beyond to make sure that your stay is enjoyable - very professional hospitality. The gardens and thermal bath were amazing, and all the food was spectacular. Lots of nice to have amenities in the room (towel warmer, light switches for other lights near the bed so you don’t have to get up, etc.). A very classy hotel all around.
The place was beautiful. Nice and clean and the check in process was very easy. It was the perfect place to stay in Furnas for our small group. And the host was extremely nice, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay.
Qunita d'Agua was a little bit of paradise on Lake Furnas. The property was private, remote and full of beautiful trees and gardens. We were met upon arrival and all communication was responded to. Thank you for a great stay!
We toured three times all of Furnas in order to get to the Park with gather bathes, and this hotel happened to be right at the corner of the park - totally unexpected and lovely finding. Awesome view onto the green hills.
It was a very nice place. A small supermarket is just a 100m from the house, you can walk easily in Furnas, i ran around the lake...and when we asked the owner, they answered quickly and accuratly.
A very pleasant stay.
Incredibly beautiful one of four very well designed houses, garden with beautiful views, good breakfast and friendly atmosphere. And Furnas - a beautiful town with hot springs and many other attractions.
Kind staff, super clean hotel (rooms, common spaces...) so thumbs up to the cleaning staff, breakfast fantastic, great location in the center (however calm and with parking possibilities).
Wonderful breakfast was included with our rate. The hotel facility was very nice but a bit dated. The staff was very professional and want to be seen as a first class hotel.
Great location, in the centre of Furnas. Close to restaurants, supermarkets etc. Clean! Nice couch and big TV with Netflix etc to relax or to enjoy on a rainy day.
Exceptional place for vacation. Everything is very good - small city Furnas, Casa Calante, place and Helena, property owner makes your vacation unforgettable.
