This apart-hotel complex is absolutely beautiful, flowering bushes everywhere with a lovely scent. Our apartment was large and airy and had a great private terrace on the first floor (2nd floor if you’re North American). It really was a home from home with a full dining area with table and chairs and lounge area with sofa, soft rug and tv. The main double bedroom was upstairs with an anteroom having a sofa/pull out bed for children or guests 3&4. Lots of storage in the bedroom but there was a distinct lack of hangers in the wardrobe but loads of drawer space. The kitchen is adequate enough for simple meals (no oven) with a twin hob and microwave, kettle and toaster, and a selection of pots and pans. We managed really well. The hotel provides breakfast 8am - 10am if you want it at 12euros per person. We didn’t try this option. Housekeeping are amazing and come every day! Everything is clean and beds are made. Towels can be changed daily if you like. For a self-catering holiday we found that a lot was provided in the apartment for us: washing up liquid, washing up sponge, washing up cloth and a tea towel. These are replenished and changed as needed. There is also toilet roll, shower gel and hand wash provided in the bathroom which was lovely - again, replenished when needed or on request. The complex gardens are beautiful and well-tended. The pool looked lovely and well-cared for, however we didn’t try it out. There seems to be a hot tub in a wooden building off the pool area - we took a look but it was grubby and the water had floating debris. I’m sure they would have sorted it out if we had asked, but we were out and about discovering the island every day. You definitely need to hire a car for the duration of your stay here as there isn’t any bus route nearby and taxis would be very expensive to get around the island. HANDY TIP: If you’re picking up your hire car on landing at the airport and driving to Quinta da Santana - to get into the complex there is an electronic gate that requires a remote control. When you first arrive, drive past the big metal gate and find the next smaller (pedestrian) gate. Put the hazard lights on in the car and get out to ring the bell. This alerts reception who will come and open the gate for you or just give you a remote straight away so you can drive into the complex. We had a horrendous time of looking and looking and going around and around the roads trying to find the entrance!! We didn’t know about the need to ring the pedestrian gate bell (face palm!) The reception staff are lovely and very accommodating and speak English very well. I’m not sure what other languages they can speak. The area that Quinta da Santana is situated in is the one fly in the ointment….it seems really run down and the road they are situated on is all full of industrial buildings and commercial businesses. Further exploration within Santana uncovers the grubbier side of agricultural life with its local working class community.

Bellissimo! Curato in ogni dettaglio dal sapore autentico. Arredi bellissimi, camere confortevoli anche per le famiglie (un vera suite con doppie stanze!). Ad ogni riassetto (fatto più volte al giorno), viene offerto un te’ abbellito da rametti di rosmarino freschi e profumatori spray per cuscini. Il personale molto gentile e proattivo nell’offrire possibili escursioni. La colazione squisita su ordinazione, senza sprechi e con una congrua varietà. La granola che servita con lo yogurt è home made, nel rispetto dei principi bio ed eco della struttura. La posizione del resort è comoda per diversi spostamenti sull’isola. Un unica vera pecca ( che per gli italiani purtroppo non si può non segnalare), e’ la mancanza del bidet. Per il resto assoluta eccellenza.

Di fronte all'Oceano Atlantico e direttamente sul mare, non ci sono ostacoli di fronte. La camera ha un balcone, molto confortevole e con ampia vista. Puoi vedere il mare direttamente dal letto. Il bagno è dotato di vasca. Puoi fare il bagno guardando il mare. È comodo! L'hotel è molto pulito, mi piace molto il suo stile di decorazione, ha un senso del design, l'abbinamento dei colori è molto adatto allo scenario locale e i dettagli sono ben fatti. Il servizio è molto buono, il ristorante per la colazione a buffet può guardare il mare e il cibo è abbondante. L'hotel dispone di una piscina a sfioro all'aperto. Puoi nuotare mentre guardi il mare. Se non vuoi nuotare, puoi salire pigramente per crogiolarti al sole. C'è anche un bar accanto alla piscina. Se piove, c'è anche una piscina interna riscaldata, così puoi nuotare guardando il mare. 【Paesaggio balneare】 Igiene: Ambiente: Servizio:

Ottimo hotel 5 stelle alle Azzorre. Le camere vista mare si tolgono il fiato. Ottima colazione. Piscine e servizi perfetti. Ristorante e bar sempre all altezza. Cambio asciugamani da piscina all'occorrenza. Spa interna di livello. Prodotti da bagno Ok

Óptima localização e com muito potencial, mas ainda muito a melhorar!! 1 - A nossa estadia foi de 3 noites e em nenhum dos dias foi feita limpeza, só recebemos toalhas novas porque pedimos na recepção, não tem quaisquer amenities, champô, gel duche, tivemos que comprar porque não tínhamos levado no voo; 2 - No dia de check out vieram acordar-nos antes das 8h30 para saber a que horas saíamos, quando o check out era até às 11h; 3 - Pouco depois ouvimos barulho da porta a abrir e quando verificámos, tratava-se já do próximo hóspede a quem tinham dado early check in, ficámos todos espantados com a situação… 4 - A receção está fechada aos feriados e fins-de-semana, por isso só tivemos contacto com alguém 1 dia em toda a estadia!

Wonderful place. Gorgeous huge rooms with fabulous views of ocean and nearby church. Kind and helpful staff from front desk to housekeeping. We arrived at 8 am as had early flight in. They directed us to breakfast and had a room available immediately after. Very thoughtful. The breakfast was wonderful. Eggs Benedict, eggs royal, fresh fruit, wonderful breads, cheese , ham, smoothies etc. OMG the chocolate croissants and portuguese tarts hot from oven! Great coffee. So many choices! The dinners were probably best on the island. Food was reasonable in price and well presented. Steak was very tender, seafood fresh and light. Not a fault from beginning to end of stay. Area quiet and safe. Variety store a few minutes away with wine and snacks for sale. One of the customers there sang a Fado song for me. This hotel is a great place for couples. I think a bit too quiet for families. Reasonable drives to all attractions. Look no further

Very simple Hotel close to the Hospitalm The rooms were tidy and clean. 10 min walk from the Hospital Internacional and very close to the harbour. However they only have stairs to go up to the first floor. No elevator. Front door service was supposed to be open full day but it was only open in the morning. However, there is a phone number you can call were they will acomodate your needs eficiently. The inside of the building is beautiful. Breakfast is very poor and low quality food. Good place to stay if you are travelling for a hospital visit, but I wouldn't count on breakfast...
