Beautifully and lovingly renovated manor that hosted Pope John Paul II. There is even a beautiful chapel for a bit of morning contemplation and inspiration. Clean, comfortable and well appointed rooms with delightful touches such as welcome local treats. The view of Monte Brasil is stunning. A short walk to town for restaurants and the Monte Brasil hiking trail. Clean, well appointed and comfortable rooms with delightful touches such as delicious local treats Staff are excellent! Andre's welcome and tour of the hotel was much appreciated as was his guidance on restaurant choices and best spots to visit on our island drive. Ana, at the cocktail bar, was equally hospitable and provided insights into things to do on the island. Vanessa, in the dining room. was always cheery and ensured we started the day with a great breakfast. Kudos to the housekeeping staff for the high level of cleanliness in our room and throughout the entire property.The history of the hotel combined with the hospitality created a memorable start to our Azores adventure

Excellent location with views over the sea and Monte Brasil from the grounds and the public rooms and with some sea view bedrooms. Extensive and tasty continental breakfast. Ample parking and easy walking distance to Angra town. No evening meal available but abundant choices in Angra. Comfortable and impeccably clean. An interesting old convent with modernisations but still retaining much character. Very peaceful. Helpful and efficient service.

After a long two days of flying we were allowed to check in early, offered water and cookies and were personally guided to our rooms. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Too early for breakfast you can have a cup of coffee and wait. Have an early morning flight they will have a breakfast box to go. It is located a little out of the city center but the view was worth it. It is an old priory and they maintained the charm of a centuries old building while converting it to a hotel. Old world charm but modern comfort and functionality.

Palácio Santa Catarina is a beautiful hotel full of history and charm. The receptionists and staff were warm, welcoming, and always helpful, with a special shoutout to André, who went above and beyond with recommendations and assistance throughout our stay.We stayed in Room 206, which was conveniently located near the breakfast room. Breakfast was excellent, with a huge variety of choices, including unlimited cappuccinos from a self-serve machine—a great way to start each day! The room also had plenty of drawers and storage space, making it easy to unpack and settle in. The pool area overlooks Mount Brasil, providing a beautiful setting to relax after a day of exploring. We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that the hotel serves food in the bar, which was a nice option. The only drawback was the location. The walk to downtown Angra do Heroísmo takes about 20–25 minutes. While we appreciated the opportunity to walk off some of our delicious dinners, it wasn't convenient if we just wanted to pop into town for a quick lunch or coffee. Overall, this is a lovely hotel with exceptional staff, comfortable accommodations, and beautiful views. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Terceira.
