This is an ecological style resort sitting atop of the thermal water source, a two-minute walk to boiling water wells (called Furnas), which, surprisingly coexist with 50-degree F naturally carbonated mineral water fountains. All that is in a quaint little town, which is home to an absolutely stunning garden filled with exotic flowers. Hiking trails all around allow you to get your fill of adventurous treks and stunning vistas. Then jump into one of several thermal water pools on property! Breakfast was amazing, featuring everything the island’s small scale farming culture has to offer. Dining menu was simple and reasonably priced. Drinks were slightly overpriced, except for locally brewed beer on tap. Parking on property is slightly limited, even slightly off season (mid September). Renting the smallest car that you can fit in is highly advisable! There’s no real highway on the island, and locals know how to drive, so we never felt unsafe in a compact.
