"Der Check In war gut, Gastgeberin und ihr Mann sind Herzensmenschen. DIe Lage ist zentral in Praia Vitoria. Im November ist das Haus kühl, wir haben gefroren. Die Gastgeberin stellte uns kleine Heizgeräte zur Verfügung, diese schafften es jedoch nicht warm zu machen. Wäsche waschen ist problematisch weil die Tür der Waschmaschine jahrelang geschlossen ist und dadurch „stockig riecht“, wir rochen dann wie nasse Hunde. Wenn es regnet sind die Fensterbereiche und Türbereiche (zur Wetterseite) nass...

A resort with a pool, palm trees, and a view of the sea.

Terceira Mar Hotel

Angra do Heroismo

10/10 Excellent

The location is beautiful. The hotel is elegant, and service was pleasant. I would stay there again. What did surprise me is that there are mosquitoes on the premises and when I left my window open at night I had to suffer their nuisance. On the other islands where I stayed in the Azores I did not come across any mosquitoes, and it was safe to leave the windows open at night. I also wonder why Azorean hotels don't offer free wireless internet.
