Hotels near Porto de São Fernando in Terceira Island

My partner and I stayed at the Angra Marina Hotel late November 2023. The Hotel was located in Angra Do Heroismo overlooking Mount Brazil and the harbor. IT was a perfect location for our walking adventures and we took in the beautiful city of Angra Do Heroismo enjoying the local beauty of the town, the cafes, shops and of course the wonderful Christmas lights displaying the festivities of what was to come later in the month The front desk staff were wonderful, accommodating and the hotel's comfort and restaurant and breakfasts were great and we began our day in the beautiful dining room and end of day the comforts of our very nice hotel room. We could not have found a better place for our stay in Terceira as we journeyed from there to Lisbon and Porto but retained the wonderful memories of or stay at the Angra Marina Hotel! IT was wonderful!

Nice, modern hotel, and we had a very nice updated room with lovely views of the ocean and the Fort. Pretty good breakfast too. Free parking so you can walk about 10 minutes to get to the heart of the old town for shopping and restaurants. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only very small thing we didn’t love was that to get to our room on the 3rd floor we had to walk by the open door of the gym - typical gym smells emanating so wish they would have left the door to the gym closed. Other than that, a great stay!

Our best stay of the 6 Azores islands/ Our best stay of the 6 Azores islands We stayed only 2 nights on 7 and 8 June in a junior suite. Very spacious with a living room and associated small kitchen, sleeping room with very spacious beds, bathroom and terrace with ocean view. 2 TVs available. The hotel is located just over the ocean. The hotel is located just over the ocean. There is a 'walk' along which you come on about 10' steps in the centre of Praia with the O pescador restaurant. This is how you can leave your car at the hotel and have the opportunity to try the Azorian wines. It was far from our best residence and breakfast of our 6 visiting islands (Sao Miguel,,Terceira, Graciosa, Sao Jorge, Pico and Faial). We would have liked to stay there for a day, but our planning for inland flights and boat connections was not allowed, because there are not all the days. flight and boat connections with all islands (after Terceira, Graciosa). If we come back to the Azores, it's first Terceira, With Atlantida Mar. We stayed in a junior suite for just 2 nights on the 7th and 8th of June. Very spacious with a lounge and associated small kitchen, sleeping area with very spacious beds, bathroom and terrace with a view of the ocean. 2 televisions available. Made use of the outdoor pool and hot tub. Very friendly reception. Excellent buffet breakfast with a large choice, including fresh fruit. The goods were constantly replenished. The hotel is located just above the ocean. In between there is a 'walking track' along which you reach the center of Praia after about 10 steps, including the O pescador restaurant. For example, you can leave your car at the hotel and you have the opportunity to taste the Azorian wines. It was by far our best stay and breakfast of our 6 islands visited (Sao miguel, Terceira, Graciosa, Sao Jorge, Pico and Faial). Normally we would have liked to stay there one day longer, but our planning for the internal flights and boat connections did not allow this, as there are not all days flight and boat connections with all islands (after Terceira, Graciosa). If we ever come back to the Azores, it will be Terceira in the first place, with the Atlantida Mar.

During my 2-week trip around Portugal, Quinta do Espirito Santo is the most favorite. It is not only just a place for a stay but a place providing an authentic experience with the stories of Terceira Island. I stayed 2 memorable days here with Francisco -the owner who is also a very knowledgeable history teacher and museum director, and his wife, just like one of their family members. The manor itself (including the hotel's main buildings, subordinate houses, and a lovely tropical garden) is a mirror of the island's background, speaking to the maritime history and the special geographical position of this island. All the furniture and decorations have their own stories and histories. The host couple is very friendly, helpful, and talkative, and we always had very interesting talks. The rooms are very clean and atmosphere. This is a unique oasis of Terceira and Azores which makes a trip very unusual.

The breakfast was great,we had no fault with this. Very acomadating for dietary needs. The indoor pool is great, clean and relaxing space, the underground parking was a good bonus for us with a rental car and a great location near the city centre. The negatives we experienced however were not great at all. We had a huge leak from the toilet which flooded the bathroom and come into our room up to the bed at 4am, they turned off the water to the toilet and left us with no working toilet. Or shower. No help was offered to clean up the water in the early hours and was left until the morning. We changed rooms and no help was offered to move our belonging to the other room on a different floor. The new room had a hole in the ceiling of the bathroom and had to be repaired. The shower was leaking, we had mold in the shower and rust on the toilet. The walls had mold damage on also. This is things we definitely did not expect from a 4* hotel. It is very outdated and needs lots of work to it to be a 4* again.

A superb hotel for our stay in Terceira for 3 nights. We stayed in a large one bedroom apartment which had a small kitchenette/living area and huge bathroom. The free garage parking was appreciated in an area with limited parking. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the old town. Our apartment was on the second floor with a large glass fronted balcony which overlooked the boat yard and sea beyond. The staff were excellent from the moment we arrived with reception providing directions to the secure underground parking for our car, the restaurant staff who were friendly, helpful and professional and housekeeping. The breakfast was superb it included a large buffet with everything from local cheeses and cold meats, bread, pastries and even fresh honey draining from the honey comb. There was also a cooked breakfast on offer but as the buffet was great we didn't go with cooked option. We also appreciated the option to have a barista made coffee with breakfast if desired.

Hotel in a privileged location, even above the beach, and some details are noticed that need renovation but still it is comfortable, comfortable and has a friendly and diligent staff. We are in a studio turned to the sea that gives a couple more 1 child once it has a living area with a sofa that turns into a comfortable bed and a room with a large King size bed, This is located in a central area, 4 km from the airport, from which you can easily reach any tourist point on the island. It has a small free parking park of 4 places that we can only use once, but there is enough space to park freely at 150m from the hotel.

Very nice, new well careful, breakfast with natural orange juice

What a lovely hotel! It is found on the main square and stepping out into a UNESCO area each day is special. The hotel were very quick to add a topper to our hard bed - I wish I’d asked for one before our first night. The rooms on the 4th floor looking out onto the botanical gardens are quiet and it’s a great view - choose numbers 401-411 The AC works quietly and well and even though it was 27C outside one day our room cooled to a pleasant 22C and allowed us to have a break from the midday sun. They do give you a kettle but if you’d like coffee bring your own as they only provide teabags - not a problem but slightly unusual. Breakfast is a bit of a scrum but once you find your way around the dishes it’s ok. The dining room seems a bit functional to me and doesn’t suggest a 4* hotel - we decided it was not a place for us In the evenings. Swimming pool and gym both lovely and towels easily accessed. The terrace is very sunny and a pleasant place when it’s not quite so hot! Very happy here and can recommend it

Even though the hotel is 2 stars there are basic standards that even a 2 star hotel should have. For example, the toilet brush was disgustingly rotten and dirty (it costs 2€ to buy a new one). The showers had curtains that were also dirty and sticked to the body when we were having a shower. We do understand that the bathroom is from the 60s but we believe that even a bathroom from the 60s can be improved with the time. There was a sock under the bed which implies that the bedroom wasn’t clean. The air conditioner was broken and in an island extremely humid and in the middle of the summer, this is not very nice. The paper cups in the bathroom, that even though we understand they are planet friendly, were disgusting and could be replaced by glass ones instead. The breakfast was extremely poor. The instant coffee was very bad, there wasn’t any fruit and if you’re a person that doesn’t eat bread or sugary cereal there wasn’t any other option available. It has indeed an amazing location, but since the island is so small, any other hotel will do. Nevertheless, if you like camping this hotel is perfect.
