The stay at Forest Lake was absolutely perfect. Do yourself the biggest service and DO NOT MISS the dinner by Chef Joao. He created such a wonderful menu that holds up to any Michelin restaurant (hint: this place deserves at least two!).

What an absolute dream of a space - inside and out! We loved every minute of our stay at Furnas Lake Forest Living. The location is a perfect home base for getting around the island, exploring hot springs, and hiking. There are several local hikes within walking distance or 5-10 mins driving. The decor is sleek and comfortable with lovely attention to detail. We also had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant which is a MUST-- the best food we had during our stay. We'd highly recommend Furnas and are eager to return as well.

Impeccable. I wanted a nice upscale stay and the well known hotel with the garden was not super accommodating when I called them to reschedule my trip, in fact they were rude. I decided to take a chance and find somewhere else and did I find a gem! We stayed in the Villa. It was incredible and the grounds were stunning. A short walk to the lake as well. I have a feeling this is an up and coming place that will be tough to book in the future, stay here, it’s an incredible stay. The people make the place as well, sweet, kind and genuine

From the moment you arrive at Furnas Lake Forest Living, you feel a sense of calm. The reception was easy to find and we received a very warm welcome and explanation of the property, then were guided to our house. It was a very personal experience and I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff. The houses are secure, quiet, immaculately clean, and situated in a stunning forested area. There are even koi fish in the moat around the houses. All of the finishings were thoughtful and on brand for the location. We were able to enjoy the a la carte breakfast prior to checking out, and it was both delicious and satisfying. I'm very sad that we were unable to secure a reservation for dinner due to a conflicting reservation, but that just means we are due for a trip back! They are working on a spa and additional houses, which will make an already spectacular experience even better, I'm sure. Obrigada for making us feel right at home during our short stay. Can't wait to visit again (for longer this time).

Amazing experience

We really loved our stay at Furnas. The hotel staff was nice and helpful, breakfast buffet was excellent (it didn’t vary over the 5 days though), the cabin was great and we made good use of our kitchenette (microwave didn’t work). The pool isn’t heated and the weather gets a bit chilly in certain days but it’s not profound so it wasn’t too bad. The hotel proposed a zip line activity which was a lot of fun. The restaurant was only upon reservation at night (4 or 6 course menu) and quite pricey, you had to cook your own lunch or take the car to go downtown 15mn from there. I scored comfort slightly down because of the 2 new buildings they were building literally next to our cabin, the noise would go on all day and didn’t even stop during lunchtime which made it complicated to use the balcony… but all in all an amazing experience!

Beautiful Resort - Needs Some Amenities

I should say to start - the resort overall is beautiful and location wonderful. The unit we stayed in was spacious and clean; the restaurant is fantastic, both in terms of quality and appearance; the staff are friendly and helpful. However, there a couple issues that are related to climate and location that the resort needs to account for. Things get wet and stay wet - there was basically no means to dry our clothes. There are no dryers or fans in the units, so it is impossible to get rid of moisture, given the high humidity and nearly constant rain. The unit definitely smelled of mildew and, perhaps, mold - not the healthiest I am sure. At the very least, providing guests with strong fans I think is essential...

Amazing family-run location in paradise at the Furnas lake and a short drive from Furnas village. The cottages are super, well furnished and with a very good bed. There is a small outdoor area to enjoy your morning coffee amidst hydrangeas! It is easy to keep distance and I recommend staying here even now with the ongoing Covid pandemic. Last but not least, the staff are very friendly.

It was lovely and quiet and the staff were helpful and polite. The owners and their dog were lovely too. The only comment I would make was that our son was sleeping on the sofa bed and there was no blinds to stop the light coming in and woke him up early in the mornings. Great ti be able to walk to the lake and be close to the village to enjoy the thermal spas. Extremely quiet and the ducks were great entertainment following us around for bread x

Green Island retreat

The property is beautiful, just outside of Furnas and across from the lake. The location is convenient toward the eastern side of the island, and it is still easy driving to Ponta Delgada and the western island for day trips. The villas are comfortable, but with dated interiors. This is the main opportunity for improving the overall experience. It has a rustic cabin / cottage feel, with some modern touches. The on-site restaurant is in a class of its own. The food is excellent, although pricey. Worthwhile for at least one meal, but you can get very good value at other nearby options or cooking in your villa if you prefer. An enjoyable experience in a unique place.
