Octant Furnas

The hotel is ideally located, beautifully designed, for me it’s worth 5 stars. Murillo has been super welcoming since our arrival. The team does absolutely everything to keep your stay excellent. They prepared a bed for our daughter with very cute gifts. It was really nice. The rooms are extremely clean, the breakfast is absolutely amazing, with local products and homemade food. Special mention for the beef sandwich, they don’t even ask you how you want your meat because it’s absolutely out of he world. The spa is wonderful and they offer yoga in the water which is amazing. The experience manager does his job well and he found 2 farm experiences which we loved.

Best hotel, spa and restaurant on the island ! I don’t even want you to know about this place because I want to keep it a hidden gem, but it’s worth nothing the extraordinary service by people like Pedro in the spa, Murillo at front desk or the attentive service of the restaurant boys! The location is just perfect deep in the heart of Furnas and close to the most beautiful park, the SPA is my favourite ( and I’m such a spa snob) with 3 different water temperatures pools, including and indoor and outdoor, that sometimes if the hotel flow allows it, they permit external guests for 40€ per person. The food in the restaurant was delicious, refined but not fussy. Simply the best! Treat it kindly and with respect !

My wife and I traveled the Azores and when people ask how it was we always start with this place. Truly magical location, with top notch staff. We arrived a bit early when the room wasn't ready but the staff gave us towels and told us to walk across the street to the natural geothermal pool next to the river and told us to put our feet in the pool, then when its too hot turn around and put our feet in the river to cool down while enjoying the scenery. It was a perfect way to start our stay. The pool being an actual geothermal pool and not a chlorine pool makes this place one of kind. Everyone on staff is so welcoming we felt like the most important guests and could truly relax. The dinning room made you feel like you were eating in the middle of the jungle. Some people might not appreciate the weather being misty/cloudy so much but we think it adds to the mystic of the place. As we try to plan our next trip we always ask ourselves "Do we just go back to Furnas?"
