Hotels in der Nähe von Fumarolas da Lagoa das Furnas, Povoação

Das Hotel liegt direkt am/im berühmten Terra Nostra Park in Furnas. Schon der Empfang war äusserst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer (Westflügel) sind direkt auf den Park ausgerichtet. Absolute Ruhe. Das Frühstück mit einer grossen Auswahl (kein Buffet) wird am Tisch serviert. Die Bedienung ist sehr angenehm. Direkt vom Hotel ist man nach ein paar Metern Fussweg direkt am grossen Warmwasserbassin. Der schön angelegte Park lässt sich bequem erkunden. Dieser wird für die Besucher am Abend geschlossen. Die Hotelgäste sind dann unter sich. Die Pflanzenwelt ist faszinierend. Alles in allem ist ein Besuch sehr lohnenswert. Bei Gelegenheit werden wir gerne an diesen Ort zurückkehren.

I just returned from a three night stay at this hotel with my girlfriend and our teenage daughter. We have been countless times in S. Miguel as we consider it such a pleasant and beautiful island. This time we opted for a hotel outside the main towns and in fact we managed to do just that. At the same time it is only 20 minutes away from the airport and 15 minutes away from Ponta Delgada or Ribeira Grande, the two main towns. We already visited the nine islands of the Azores archipelago and always get a rental car at the airport (exception at Corvo Island). If you are staying in this hotel, it is paramount that you do the same. As to the hotel itself, we booked it only four weeks in advance on high season, thus we had to pay the full rate of the stay at that moment. Upon check-in on room 206, we were given two identical cards without any distinctive element, one to open the door and the other to insert into the slot for lightening. That is odd, generally, hotels give two identical keys to open the door and one of them, if necessary can be left on the slot when we are out. We were assigned a spacious accommodation with living room, bedroom and bathroom. We did not have sea view and the living room had lots of glass walls overlooking the adjacent condo. All those glasses made it very hot on the sun shining days and we had to keep the AC on during the day. The décor of the room was unstylish and lacking attention to details. The bedroom had a big closet but no clothes rail or hangers. Besides that, one of the doors of the closet could not be opened fully, because it bumped into the shelves that are installed as bedside tables. The safe was old style, that is to say, it closes with a key that we had to ask for at the reception at no charge, along with a cumbersome key ring that we had to take with us whenever we were out of the room. The living room had a well equipped kitchen, that we did not use but it was constantly patrolled by half a dozen ants. We had bought previously some good looking fruits and had to fill a big dish with water and in the middle of it we put a small dish with our fruit so that the ants weren’t able to cross the water in order to get to fruit island. The bathroom was very spacious and pleasant looking even if the washbasin was more stylish than efficient. This room lacked tremendously of a place to put one´s belongings (toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, electrical razor and so on). Amazingly no one foresaw the installation of a shelf. The social areas of the hotel such as the lobby are, again, unstylish, corridors have shabby carpeting. The room where breakfast is served has a view to an outside wall and lacks natural lightening. Breakfast itself has a reasonable variety of items, but by no means is it worth 12 euro per person per day, that in our case we were asked to paid in advance, precisely at the same moment we made the reservation. There is a restaurant at the hotel, called Dragoeiro but it features mainly sushi. It is in

The team at White made us feel instantly at home, we were welcomed and well taken care of for the entirety of our stay. We’ve fallen in love with Sao Miguel and it’s all thanks to each person at White. Every day we’d get personalised recommendations on where to go, what to see and what to avoid to make the most of our time on the island. Communication was effortless as the team gave us a phone to talk to them with - very responsive and helpful every time we spoke. The suite was beautiful and uncluttered with rich details and textures - a real calm retreat after a day filled with lots of sites and scenery. Every person that works at White are friendly, helpful and accommodating even our airport pickup created such a wonderful impression. This was by far our most favourite part of our holiday. Thank you to Sandra (for helping us arrange a rental car and welcoming us to white), João (for personalised tips on where to go on the island), Rodrigo (for making a proper martini and chatting to my husband for hours while I was resting and recovering from a flu) and each and everyone of you for treating us so special during our stay. Highly recommended for amazing service and incredible suite.

Quaint kleines Resort in Povoacao verdunkelt. Sehr ruhig und sauber. Fantastisches Frühstück, und anständig eingerichtete Bar, die außergewöhnlich vernünftig war. Das Personal war nichts weniger als erstaunlich! Wir haben uns versehentlich unseren Autoschlüssel im Zimmer verlassen und sie haben ihn uns am Flughafen gerade rechtzeitig zurück! Hertz gab auch unser Auto, das wir vor der Landung ... buchen würden, und sie halfen uns auf einem Urlaub einen Ersatz zu finden und ließ uns ihn aufnehmen. Erstaunliche Leute! Es ist nicht super zentral für alles auf der Insel, aber wir genossen die Fahrten und sehen alle glücklichen Kühe und Aussichten in und aus. Sehr schön hier!

The helpfulness of all the staff was excellent, the breakfast is outstanding, as is the view from the restaurant and bar. The location and the beach are dramatic and beautiful. The hotel has been built sensitively, in harmony with the hillside, so much so that when we arrived in the dark and late, due to flights affected by a storm, we could not initially see the dark brown front door, it blends in so well! Our 9 night stay was perfect for the family to celebrate both of our wedding anniversaries. The younger couple found the hiking trails beautiful and great for the morning run but they do require a car to get to the start as the road by the hotel is not safe for pedestrians. Swimming pools are not heated, so are for summery days. Reception staff provided helpful and reliable advice and issued us with a list of recommended quality restaurants which they were happy to book for us. Food on the island was in general very good for fish and sea food but vegetables were unexciting.
