The refurbishment and expansion of the Hotel are a vast improvement and have turned what was a strictly businessman’s hotel into much more of a resort hotel.

The rooms to the rear and indeed the Restaurant and gymnasium, overlook the exquisite (public) gardens and are of course quieter.

A pleasant small Residençial, well placed in the city offering modestly priced accommodation. Ideal for those wishing to get closer to the local atmosphere then in the larger establishments.

Tricia and Miguel are particularly welcoming hosts and their horses will appeal to horse lovers of all ages. Rooms are comfortable but quite small and tastefully furnished with rustic style furniture. The location is quiet and tranquil and the fishing village of Sao Mateus is nearby.

A wonderfully characterful, beautifully restored and very tastefully furnished Manor House of the first quality. We loved the spacious sitting rooms with their exquisite drapes. The Chapel is a masterpiece of  restoration featuring much gold leaf and reproduction statuary. To sample this house is to understand the luxurious lifestyle of the original owners. Very highly recommended.

The most tastefully furnished and elegant manor house with polished wood floors, beautiful gardens and excellent facilities. One of the nicest we have seen. Interestingly the Hotel Caracol’s Resident Instructor teaches Tai Chi in the peaceful garden of Quinta Nasçe Agua.

A large low rise new Hotel with spacious and welcoming public rooms and wonderful views over the pool to the sea and Monte Brazil across the bay.

A very welcome addition to the inventory of hotel beds in Terceira, this attractive (though with an unfortunate choice of colour for the exterior!) Hotel offers comfortable, spacious rooms and a wealth of facilities that will support a long duration holiday.

The Hotel "has it’s back" to the prevailing wind and thus offers shelter to it’s 2 pools & sun decks. The proximity of the public access to the sea, the snack bar and raft is fun but can be a bit noisy so rooms on the other side of the Hotel are quieter. Paulo Araujo, who with his wife, who are both qualified Physiotherapists, run the Wellness Centre with enthusiasm and panache and offer an excellent level of Wellness treatments.

In a superb position with an excellent restaurant on site. One has to bear in mind that this is a "Residencial" up graded to a three star hotel so the rooms and furnishings are neither modern nor particularly attractive. Nevertheless the position is, I repeat, fantastic.

Simple rustic furnishings and nice gardens enable Clients to appreciate rural Azorean life. Also a good base for touring the Island and only 7 kms from Lages Airport.
