Following an extensive renovation, Terra Nostra Garden Hotel on São Miguel in the Azores has reopened its doors to visitors. Situated in the Furnas Valley, the hotel—originally established in 1935—has been carefully restored to preserve its historic character while incorporating modern comforts and design touches.
The property sits within the renowned Terra Nostra Botanical Park, giving guests direct access to a remarkable landscape of mineral-rich and thermal springs. This unique location allows visitors to enjoy the natural geothermal features that define the area.
One of the hotel’s signature experiences is the traditional Furnas Cozido, a slow-cooked meal prepared entirely underground using heat from volcanic hot springs. This distinctive culinary tradition highlights the region’s volcanic heritage and provides an authentic local dining experience.
With its blend of period charm, contemporary updates, and a prime position in the heart of a historic botanical garden, Terra Nostra Garden Hotel offers a distinctive base for exploring São Miguel’s natural and cultural attractions.
