A unique, fabulous stay
This location is amazing! I have been to Terceira four times and always stay here since we lucked out the first time in 2018. There’s plenty of free parking and driving to the Pousada is easy. The hotel is fabulously designed inside the 1641 Fort. It’s clean and the rooms are very comfortable. The staff is very attentive.This location is amazing!

Unique location with elegant restaurant
Elegant modern restaurant featuring locally sourced ingredients. Somewhat limited menu but well presented. Unique location - former fortress - good access and parking. Offers occasional fado+dinner evenings.Elegant modern restaurant featuring locally sourced ingredients. Somewhat limited menu but well presented.

Really protected from (old-style) pirates!
One week vacation here in May 2025, package from Azores Getaways (an excellent travel operator, my sixth trip with them). Direct flight (once a week) from Toronto to Lajes (or Praia da Vitoria, or Terceira – I've seen all three names used for the same airport). Landing before 7 AM – transfer to hotel maybe 30 minutes; I’ve purchased the early check-in too (CAD 150 at the time). The fortress comple… One week vacation here in May 2025, package from Azores Getaways (an excellent travel operator, my sixth trip with them).

Modern hotel in a castle
I saw this in my guide book and thought "Wow, staying in a castle, definitely!"It is quite modern, the room we had was a good size with a small balcony and sea view. The only thing that was a little annoying was that the doors that would have offered direct access to the pool area were locked.Breakfast was very good, a lot of choice. We had dinner once as well, which was also really nice.I saw this in my guide book and thought "Wow, staying in a castle, definitely!"It is quite modern, the room we had was a good size with a small balcony and sea view.

Incredible Setting
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The setting inside the fortress was quite unique and interesting. The staff was kind and accommodating. The room was quite nice. The restaurant was very good and the included breakfast was excellent. I removed one star because there were several small issues with the facility. Elevator out if order. Phone didn't work. I got locked in the public restroom stall. N… We enjoyed our stay here very much. The setting inside the fortress was quite unique and interesting. The staff was kind and accommodating.
