Very nice hotel with convenient location and plenty of free parking. Breakfast was very good with a lot of choices. We were very happy with the service at the hotel.
Very friendly and professional staff, top notch breakfast, outdoor pool is cleaned all the time, all premises well lit at night, the property is unique combination of modern amenities and historical building
This property is so lovely. A wonderful and interesting layout, with a really nice pool, a chapel and nice balconies. The morning breakfast is very nice, with a few hot options and lots of fruit, breads and cheeses to round out the choices. It was a nice walk down to the busier part of the area. The only tiny issue is that some of the rooms on the first floor have a musty smell, which we got use to but the second floor doesn’t seem to have the issue ( older parts I suppose vs newer). Also the parking is fantastic here, lots of room in their own parking lot. But the real major bonus was how I was treated after I fell hiking and broke my ankle. Many of the staff ( Anna food and beverage, Andre front desk and many more) did whatever they could to help get me thru a rough time. More pillows, lots of ice, a cane and where to get prescriptions filled. I will never forget how kind and caring everyone was during a rough time. I recommend staying here and we will be back ourselves. ❤️
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was spotless and comfortable. The amenities were excellent, and the location made it easy to explore the area. I’ll definitely stay here again on my next visit!
Great experience, customer oriented, very polite and knowledgeable. Everything was perfect. This hotel is a must when you visit Terceira.
Nice area, quiet but not too far from downtown.
Breakfast was delicious with everything you need.
Very nice place. Clean everywhere. 15-minute walk to downtown restaurants. Very comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Easy parking on site. Refreshing (not heated!) pool. 10-minute walk from nice (concrete/rock) beach area.
I booked this hotel for my parents and they thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this property. Friendly and attentive staff deserve recognition. This is a big property and with a limited number of rooms and guests, it wasn’t hard to find quiet areas to sit, relax and soak in the ambiance and the views. The property is just outside the main area but getting to/from the property was easy, especially with a car. Would recommend this hotel!
A True Gem with Exceptional Hospitality!!
My stay at Palácio Santa Catarina was nothing short of fantastic. The property is charming and serene, but the incredible staff truly makes it special. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and even stepped in to help resolve issues caused by a local tour company, with kindness, patience, and efficiency. Their genuine care turned a potential headache into a positive memory. This is the place to be if you’re looking for a peaceful stay with people who genuinely look after you. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
Very nice place to stay. Only thing we found disappointing is that we booked a sea view room, and while we could see the sea, 3/4 of the view was a Burger King.
Beautiful hotel, great view from the pool area. Slept great, service was top notch. Enjoyed the breakfast (pancakes, bread, jam, fruit were my favorite). They have a bar that’s open til midnight - we got sandwiches after arriving late post-sunset after most local restaurants were closed and enjoyed
We loved our stay here! It was so quiet and such a beautiful building. The breakfast that was included each morning had so much variety and was excellent. The staff were so helpful in giving recommendations, and helping us book taxis and tours! You are within walking distance to many restaurants and a grocery store. We also loved relaxing by the pool, it had great views and was never busy! 100% would recommend!!
Beautiful, lovely I can’t say how nice this was. Little advice if you get an ocean view room, double check you don’t get the ocean view/Burger King view.
This hotel is very unique and beautiful since it’s an old building turned into a hotel ! The breakfast area , dinning rooms and the Rooms were very clean . However , there were a few small things that could improve and made the experience much better !
1. The coffee machine and the instant coffee in the room wasn’t good at all
2. There were no Robes in the room
3. There was no water in the room for our second day of stay
