Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a modern feel with an old-world charm, offering a double bed but a bit noisy being under the restaurant kitchen's ventilation. The service is top-notch, going the extra mile and welcoming, though a bit over the top. The location is superb, close to natural attractions but tricky to find parking initially. The dining experience is outstanding with unique local dishes, but service details may not be clear upfront.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The rooms were spacious, well-furnished, and very clean, with a balcony overlooking the gardens, although the lack of soundproofing between rooms could be an issue if the adjacent room had guests. The waiters and staff at the restaurant were extremely helpful and accommodating.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was lovely with a seating area and balcony overlooking the beautiful garden. The service was quite professional and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location is simply breathtaking in the Terra Nostra gardens, and the dining experience offered high international standard dishes. However, the evening meals were a touch too elaborate for my taste.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were amazing, clean, extremely quiet, and very comfortable. However, the rooms didn't seem to be heated when we went to use them and lacked a balcony. The service was exceptional, with the friendliest staff, especially Mr Gabriel at the restaurant. The location was great, within walking distance to all the key sights in central Furnas, including the thermal spa and Terra Nostra Park. The dining experience was excellent, with a rich variety of delicious options. Overall, a top-notch experience with wonderful facilities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The tiny room overlooking the exotic garden with thousands of botanical species was comfortable but below standard. The service was friendly and helpful, especially at the front desk, but some aspects were disappointing. The location was wonderful with access to magnificent botanical gardens and thermal pools, although not everything was perfect. The dining options were amazing, offering a variety of delicious dishes, making the hotel stand out. The facilities were decent but had some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were spacious, offering breathtaking views of the garden and had a very comfortable bed. The minibar was stocked, which was a nice touch. The thermal pools were a fantastic addition to the room amenities, making relaxation effortless.
