It is an exceptional location next to a marvelous botanic garden with a large natural hot pool and a short drive to a nearby lake that has a fascinating thermal history and excellent hiking trails. Enjoyed after-hours at the large hot pool and the exceptional buffet breakfast

The nicest lady is the host, not very much english though. Great location in town across from the Terra Nostra. Free parking close by. Pool in the summer looked nice.

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 :)

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.

Monring- early breakfast and hike Salto de Prego

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.
- The outdoor pools are just a must. Pools are open 24/7 and it is very nice to spend some time there to relax in the evening, when the pools can only be used by the hotel customers.
- The garden is extraordinary, very well maintained, with many different species. My only regret is not to have spent more time to stroll, or even go running in the garden (it is quite large).
- The indoor pool is also a good option to have a swim.
- The hotel is also very well located, in the centre of Furnas.
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.
A very special property in an amazing location in the heart of Furnas. The gardens are vast and magnificent and are available to hotel guests once it closes to the public. The hot springs with 24/7 access was an amazing perk. We loved going in the springs at night and star gazing. The hotel restaurant was very good, I loved my grilled fish special. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was very good.
Had a great stay. Luis is a great host and he knows how to welcome his guests. Was very impressed by the garden and the lay out / interior of the house. Even though the house is walking distance from almost everything you need to see and do in Furnas, because of the garden it feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Definitely a place we would like to go back to. Thanks a lot, Luis.
Lots of room inside and out. Well appointed bedrooms and 2 lovely modern washrooms separate from living space. Full kitchen with everything you could need to cook well. The authenticity of this beautiful country home. Everything worked well. The walled in, private backyard with garden was beautiful!! The location was absolutely perfect for walking to all the main sites in Furnas.
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.
Great secluded quiet location close to the center of the city (walking distance) and main attraction of the Furnas hot springs.
Intimate location with only 5 rooms, immersed in jungle type small park, with swimming pool to relax.
No service on site, breakfast is in the fridge with kitchenette at disposal, with fresh bread left by the door each morning.
Great location for Furnas - within walking distance of hot springs. Staff were friendly and helpful. We used the free bikes to ride around the lake which was great. Breakfast was very good - selection of fruit, cereal, bread, cheese etc, pancakes and eggs on request. The room was comfy and clean, with views to nature.
It was perfect.l place to start our 25th anniversary vacation in Portugal Clean comfy, close to everything. Always had parking. The fresh Bolos Lêvedos sweet bread so thoughtful as we arrived late and were starving. It became a staple in out day while we were in Furnas!
An absolutely gorgeous place in an absolutely gorgeous environment. I wish we could have stayed more than one night to enjoy it! You’re right by the lake, rather than in Furnas town, and the staff helped us arrange a taxi into town for dinner/drinks. Peaceful and stunning.
We really enjoyed having the supplies to make our own breakfast! They went out of their way to supply GF options. The receptionist Vera, went out of her way to help us with directions and laundry issues. This was our favorite place we stayed in 6 places on the Azores!
Good clean hotel, next to 2 thermal pools. They give you thermal pools towel for free. Very good restaurant right at the property. Daily room cleaning. Very smooth check in, they sent all information in advance. Everything is great. I regret not to stay longer.
We really enjoyed our stay in Penthouse Furnas. Appartment was very clean and well equipped with beautiful views from the terrace. Communication with the host was easy and she also provided us with usefull information about things to do in Furnas.
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.
Great breakfast, many options, fantastic coffee, very nice stuff in a hotel and restaurant, great facilities, cleannes of the rooms, pools. Good location in Furnas. Had a very good relaxing time in thermal pool, outdoor pool, sauna.
The location is absolutely perfect! Walking distance to so much in Furnas. The apartment was adorable, clean and comfortable with laundry! (which they don't mention) an absolute gem to stay
