Beautiful Terra Nostra Garden Hotel

This hotel is an amazing place with a world class Botanical Garden attached and beautiful thermal baths throughout, guests have 24 hour access to both. They have an indoor pool steam and dry sauna. The staff is very well trained and for the most part local. Everything for the client! The restaurant is 4 star and the breakfast extensive and delicious. We came to have lunch 6 months ago and vowed to come stay the next time we flew to Portugal. Well worth the trip and it will not be our last.

Wonderful experience in nature and relaxation at this spa hotel located in a famous botanical garden. Most of the staff is five star from the bar to breakfast to the main restaurant. There is an employee in the bar and another at breakfast who need to be trained to the level of their magnificent peers. Other than that, the professionalism of the staff, the manicured gardens, the majestic thermal baths and surroundings were idyllic. My only suggestion would be that they add more lighting around the baths—even if with LED strip lighting for safety and ambience.

We had a unique experience at the hotel and gardens. It almost feels like a time machine taking you to the 30-s. Every employee was old school attentive and perfectly trained to provide seamless service. The botanical garden and the jacuzzi are so very special. I don't know why they don't film movies at the place. It's just magical. We visited both restaurants and the bar and food was exceptional at every place. If you don't reserve the restaurants, don't worry you will get perfectly good options at the bar.

Beautiful hotel in beautiful gardens

This is a beautiful hotel - like a 1930s ocean liner berthed in the most glorious gardens. Although the large thermal pool was closed for maintenance the smaller ' jacuzzi's and indoor pool made up for this. The breakfasts were really excellent with the best selection of pastries i have ever come across. We also ate in the Gardeners bar which was very nice indeed. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful
