A stay, imagined
Life at Terra Nostra Garden Hotel
Picture your arrival: your driver meets you at Ponta Delgada Airport, the luggage is taken care of, and before long you are in Furnas, São Miguel, where Terra Nostra Garden Hotel waits. An Art Deco hotel inside the historic Terra Nostra botanical park.
Inside Terra Nostra Park and thermal pool set the tone for the days ahead. The restaurant serves cozido cooked in volcanic ground and Azorean produce. It is a stay we recommend especially for garden lovers, couples.
Beyond the hotel, Azores unfolds at your own pace. Nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic, the Azores feel like a secret: green crater lakes, steaming hot springs, hydrangea-lined roads and cliffs where whales and dolphins pass offshore.
