Guest Reviews
- cees (7/5): - stilte communicatie met de host
- Johanna (9/5): -
- Teresa (8/5): If only the advertisement matched the actual property. Sell it for the 1880 experience that it shared. We were so disapp - The breakfast lady was a jewel. She matched the authenticity of the place. She truly made our stay more enjoyable!
Location during the celebration was good. The facility was very old from the 1800’s. Updated several living parts. If advertised for the experience it provided, we could have been better prepared for we saw upon arrival. Shocked!
The insects, the creepy creatures within.
- G. (10/5): Already missing it before we checked out! - This was our first trip as a couple and it was even better than we imagined! Besides the beauty of the island, once we arrived to Quinta do Martelo, we were simply stunned! The attention to detail dedicated on each house, on the common areas, the areas inside the farm, the cleaniness, it is spot on! Perfect for people who wish to know more about the Azorean roots. Mr. Gilberto was awesome, the housekeeping staff were also great, even the gardeners! The attention from the staff trully makes you feel like you're home, just in the middle of the Atlantic. 5* rate to the bed matress, super comfortable! We checked out already thinking about when we were coming back. Our house was perfect (Casa dos Velhotes), super fresh since it was all with rock walls, super quiet. Even our 2 neighbours were so quiet we only saw them on the second day! (2 donkeys ehehe). Thank you all for acommodating us and for making us fall even more in love with your beautiful island! Our little rock house will forever stay in our hearts! Thank you for the beautiful memories!
- Rita (10/5): Un magnifico ricordo - Ottima posizione, facilmente raggiungibile dalla strada principale. Ampio parcheggio. Accoglienza cordiale da parte del proprietario, che ci ha subito mostrato la struttura, accompagnandoci fino alle nostre camere, trasmettendoci il suo rispetto per questo bellissimo ambiente rurale e naturale. Essendo arrivati nel tardo pomeriggio, è stato molto piacevole poter cenare lì. Ottima cucina, atmosfera conviviale. Camere confortevoli, ben attrezzate, pulitissime e molto tranquille. Pulizia quotidiana, lenzuola e spugne sempre profumate. Un ringraziamento affettuoso a Monica e a Pedro per la loro professionalità, gentilezza e simpatia e a Monica, che si occupava delle ottime e varie colazioni, con prodotti locali dolci e salati.
- Anna (9/5): Se dovessi tornare alle Azzorre, tornerei a dormirei questa struttura, confortevole e caratteristica - Location particolare, perfettamente inserita nel contesto e caratteristica. Personale cortese e molto disponibile. Colazione sufficientemente ricca.
- Mária Valéria (9/5): -
- Peter (10/5): Neobvyklé ale veľmi pekné - Štýlové a originálne ubytovanie s tradičnými prvkami a zariadením.
- Diana Salgueiro (10/5): - A simpatia de todos, desde o dono, a todos os colaboradores. Sempre disponíveis e atenciosos
- Fernando (7/5): Muito boa -
- Rosa (8/5): -
- Roman (7/5): Wunderschöne Hotelanlage aber zu wenig Informationen zur Ausstattung erhalten - Naturnahe, alte schöne Gebäude, stilvolle alte Möbel Sehr viel Feuchtigkeit im Zimmer, sehr ringhörig,
Schöner Swimimgpool aber keine Liegen oder Pooltücher. Keine Informationen beim einchecken erhalten zur Ausstattung des Hotels (Sauna, Gym usw.)
- Bert - Belgie (8/5): origineel - Bijzondere plek. Ontbijt in het mooie centrale gebouw ...
- Diane (8/5): -
- Marta (7/5): Esperienza bizzarra - Posizione comoda per angra e per girare l’isola, parcheggio per l’auto. Atmosfera del passato perfettamente ricreata: le case sono tutte diverse e c’è un ingresso comune in cui sembra di essere in una vecchia casa; al di sotto poi ci sono una serie di stanze (almeno la nostra era così). Colazione buona ma non fornitissima. Pulizia quotidiana con cambio salviette. Proprietario gentile e disponibile. Atmosfera del passato così tanto ricreata che le chiavi della porta della stanza sono enormi, di ferro, difficili da portare in borsa e anche difficili da usare (abbiamo sempre lasciato la porta esterna aperta perché non siamo riusciti a usare una delle due chiavi). Altro problema è stato avere solo una presa di corrente in camera!!! Anche il phon era assente, l’abbiamo ottenuto su richiesta. Reception non presente, il proprietario era molto disponibile ma non sempre reperibile rapidamente. Altra nota dolente, la piscina! Difficile da trovare nonostante la mappa fornita, e’ bella e pulita ma non ci sono lettino o sdraio (solo 2 rotti) pertanto è non utilizzabile.
- valerio (6/5): -
- Julie (8/5): -
- Kathleen (10/5): Magnifique!! - Cet endroit rustique est un pur bonheur. Oui c’est rustique mais il y a tout le confort d’un grand hôtel. On y dort paisiblement dans un lit et des draps très confortables. Le petit-déjeuner est savoureux et nos soupers (2) au restaurant étaient délicieux. L’accueil et le service des hôtes très chaleureux. On a adoré!
- Thomas (8/5): -
- Gilles (9/5): - Un lieu un peu hors du temps, mi hotel mi musée de la vie rurale il y a un siècle. Belle piscine. Restaurant de cuisine traditionnelle à tester absolument. Emplacement proche d'Angra de Heroismo. Rien.
- Enrique (9/5): Experiencia auténtica y trato excepcional - La limpieza y la amabilidad de todo el personal fueron impecables. El dueño, Gilberto, nos recibió personalmente y nos condujo hasta la habitación, explicando con todo detalle la experiencia única que íbamos a vivir, el significado de cada elemento y la construcción del complejo siguiendo la forma de vida tradicional de Terceira. En el restaurante, el trato del camarero Paulo fue extraordinario: muy amable, atento y cercano, haciendo que nuestra cena fuera fantástica. La comida estuvo deliciosa, con platos tradicionales como la alcatra casera y la sopa del día. El desayuno también fue espectacular y el lugar donde se sirve es muy especial. Nada, todo fue excelente.
- jean-pierre (9/5): Nous avons été bien accueilli par le gérant. La petite maison est authentique et il est agréable de se promener dans la - L’originalité du projet et du lieu. L’authenticité. Le calme. Il y a une piscine mais son accès est difficile à comprendre.
- Franziska (9/5): Rustikale, charmante Unterkunft - Die Unterkunft ist sehr charmant und man fühlt sich ein bisschen wie ein Gast im Bauern-Museum. Rustikal aber sauber und komfortabel. Der Gastgeber waren sehr bemüht und hilfreich. Alles war mit Liebe eingerichtet.
Wir wurden dort außerdem bei Ankunft (nach selbstverschuldet viel zu langer Zeit ohne Essen) durch leckere Suppe gerettet, als das Restaurant eigentlich schon zu hatte.
- PBNeves (10/5): - Da simpatia e disponibilidade do dino e dos funcionários, do upgrade gratuito de quarto e do pequeno almoço colocado na casa onde ficamos alojados para podermos comer quando nos fosse mais conveniente.
Gostei especialmente da variedade de produtos disponíveis para o pequeno almoço e de fornecerem água purificada, ionizana e alcalinizada. Não havia secador disponível no quarto, mas foi prontamente disponibilizado.
- Vytautas (9/5): Autentiška patirtis istorijos mylėtojams - Viešnagė Quinta do Martelo paliko gilų įspūdį – tai tarsi grįžimas į praeitį. Kiekviena detalė – nuo kambario baldų iki patiekalų – perteikia tikrąją Terceiros kaimo gyvenimo dvasią. Kaip porai, kuri mėgsta istoriją, mums tai buvo labai įdomi ir prasminga patirtis. Labai vertinome nuoširdų šeimininko bendravimą, kaimišką ramybę ir vietą. Jeigu ko nors prireiktų - netoli yra parduotuvė. Kasdien palaikoma ideali švara. Reikia žinoti, kad tai ne modernus viešbutis – nėra oro sausintuvo, tad jaučiasi drėgmės poveikis, stiprus senų daiktų kvapas, o kai kur gali pasirodyti tamsoka ar senoviška. Tai vieta, kur atsijungi nuo šiuolaikinio komforto ir pasineri į išskirtinį salos paveldą. Jei ieškote prabangos – gali ne visai tikti, bet jei autentiškumo – tobula.
- Alexandre (9/5): Excelente local onde ficar e conhecer, é hotel e museu ao mesmo tempo. - Gostei de tudo e ainda mais de todos os animais! As duas burras são um espetáculo!
- Anne (7/5): Une belle expérience avec quelques inconvénients - L’idée de l’éco-musée, l’aménagement de la maison à l’ancienne, le super petit déjeuner avec de bons produits locaux et variés Le manque d’aération dans la salle de bain (la contrepartie de l’habitation à l’ancienne) qui est utile dans ces îles si humides, le bruit extérieur lié à des manifestations festives dans le village pendant notre séjour
- MariaCarlos (8/5): Regresso ao passado - Têm de vir com tempo para apreciar um regresso aos anos 60 e mente aberta para passar uns dias com essa realidade.
Gostamos de tudo. O pequeno almoço deixado na cozinha para ser preparado por nós, a casa antiga e muito bem conservada. O quarto confortável a retratar o antigo.
O proprietário sempre disponível para satisfazer os nossos pedidos (um secador de cabelo e um ferro de engomar). Os empregados do restaurante 5*. Nada
- MªDolores (10/5): - La quinta es preciosa. Un lugar mágico. Hemos disfrutado muchísimo del entorno, de la comida y de la amabilidad del personal
- Luis (7/5): - Tranquil·litat, neteja, autenticitat, amabilitat del personal Estat de les instal.lacions millorable. Il.luminació pobre. L'esmorzar és justet amb poca varietat.
- Minh Tue (10/5): -
- Timothy (10/5): Lovely - Beautiful traditional genuine
- Cornelis (10/5): -
- Adi (9/5): - Grate experience at a farm house. Gilberto is so friendly and helpful, really recommended.
- MARIANI (9/5): - It was an interesting and great experience. It helped us understand and learn about farm life in the Azores. Gilberto, the owner is very passionate about his concept and we enjoyed being there. The food was excellent and very filling.
- Christophe (9/5): - lle decor de ferme et le calme
la situation proche d'Angra le peu de variétés au restaurant et petit dejeuner
- Joris (9/5): heel sfeervol huisje, ontbijtruimte, restaurant en terrein met heerlijk eten - Het was alsof je verbleef in een openlucht museum: het huisje, het restaurant, de ontbijtzaal en het hele terrein was zoveel mogelijk in de oude stijl gehouden zodat je een erg goed beeld kreeg hoe men vroeger leefde, het was een bijzondere ervaring! Tip: Als je in het restaurant wilt eten op de dag van aankomst, maak dan een reservering omdat het restaurant erg snel vol zit in het hoogseizoen (juli-augustus).
- Fernando (9/5): - Décoration très sympa. Lit confortable et beaucoup de place. Très authentique et à l'ancienne Délicat pour les gens qui n'aime pas les petites bestioles car il y en a ! Isolation inexistante donc les chiens, coques et autres sont parfaitement audibles à l'intérieur
- Gomes (9/5): -
- gerard (6/5): - Rien avoir avec description booking pas de frigo, sèche cheveu, salon, n accepte pas american express, le personnel plus tôt buisnees ou commercial, accueil pas sympa. Première fois decu restaurant vous conseil son plat toujours le meme. Très déçu.
. Rien
- Nuno (8/5): - Pequeno almoço tradicional e farto O quarto podia ser mais confortável , ainda que mantendo as linhas do antigamente
- Tiziana (9/5): Un soggiorno che ti fa immergere nel passato - Quinta Do Martelo è una vecchia farm ristrutturata, dotata di tutti i comfort necessari al giorno d’oggi (anche aria condizionata e televisione) ma che mantiene viva l’esperienza d’epoca. Abbiamo passato una mezz’ora ad esplorare, visitando il mulino, le capanne, il bananeto… ci siamo sentiti parte della cultura.
Il ristorante e la colazione ti fanno immergere nel passato e nelle delizie di queste isole (assolutamente da prendere l’Alcatra!!).
Un particolare ringraziamento al cameriere del ristorante che è stato cordiale e simpatico, facendoci sentire parte della famiglia. Essendo in una fattoria bisogna essere consapevoli che si è circondati da animali e campi. La prima notte mi sono spaventata quando il gallo ha iniziato a cantare (e non ha smesso per due ore), ma è stato comunque un risveglio, per quanto spiacevole, degno del posto in cui eravamo
- Harald (7/5): - - historisches Ambiente, teilweise im Charakter eines Freilichtmuseums mit zahlreichen Beispielen zum ländlichen Leben und Wirtschaften in vergangenen Zeiten
- großer, weitläufiger Swimmingpool
- historisches Restaurant mit regionaler Küche
- freundlicher Empfang, freundliche Bedienung, guter Zimmerservice
- Davide Beddini (10/5): -
- M Almudena (10/5): - Experiencia interesante. A repetir.
- Jo (10/5): - Tolle Unterkunft in authentisch historischen Stil.
Ruhige Lage. Frühstück und Abendessen sehr lecker.
- László (10/5): szuper - Olyan mint egy XIX. századi település, de a komfortja tökéletes. Csodás úszómedence és tökéletes étterem. nincs olyan.
- Elisa (9/5): Autentica atmosfera di campagna a Terceira - La struttura si propone di rappresentare la cultura contadina Azzorriana e lo fa mettendo a disposizione degli ospiti nelle aree comuni ricostruzioni fedeli. È immerso nella campagna pur essendo a pochi km da Angra do Eroismo. Lo staff è fatto di ragazzi giovani e volenterosi, ci hanno consentito di fare una lavatrice pur non avendo un servizio lavanderia. Il ristorante propone piatti tipici molto buoni. La camera da letto aveva dimensioni buone, vari punti di appoggio. Il bagno piccolo ma dotato di tutto, perfino di bidet. La nostra camera aveva il condizionatore puntato sul letto e non poteva essere utilizzato (essendo installato quasi a terra, anche regolando gli split, l'aria arrivava diretta in faccia). La presenza di una sola finestra non consentiva il ricambio d'aria. L'armadio odorava davvero troppo di umidità. Il materasso e i cuscini non erano abbastanza comodi. Le ultime due cose si possono risolvere con un piccolo investimento che renderebbe il soggiorno perfetto! :)
- Isabel (10/5): -
- Paulien (7/5): Unieke prachtige lokatie - Zeer vriendelijke gastheer en personeel, verzorgd ontbijt en een mooie lokatie. Goed restaurant bij de lokatie, gastheer regelde lastminute nog een tafel voor ons, terwijl het eigenlijk volgeboekt was. Heerlijk gegeten. Het appartement heel charmant en authentiek ingericht, echter voor het comfort, je bent toch op vakantie is een lekker stoel wel prettig en/of buitenmeubilair iets comfortabeler dan een gammel houten bankje. Vermelden waard, prachtige omgeving en tuin, mooi zwembad, maar ook daar waren ligbedjes en wat parasols best prettig geweest. Aandachtspunt hierboven al meegenomen
- chantal (10/5): Súper recomendable - Original, cómodo limpio y personal muy amable. El desayuno riquísimo en un ambiente súper especial. Nada
- Alexandru (9/5): - Staff was very friendly
And food tasty and traditional Neighbours taking up early (either 4-5 or 8) and we could hear anything
- Valentina (8/5): Atmosfera tipica in posizione comodissima - Ambiente rurale tipico
Piscina molto grande
Camera spaziosa
Colazione con prodotti di qualità
Host gentile Leggero odore di umidità nella camera
- squidzoid_yuki (8/5): -
- DankaMi (10/5): - Amazing place
- Nicole (9/5): Es lohnt sich hier ein paar Urlaubstage zu verbringen. - Der Gastgeber ist super freundlich, dazu absolut hilfsbereit und unterstützend! Das Frühstück ist hervorragend. Das Restaurant, das zum Gut gehört, ist großartig!
Wir haben unseren Terceira-Urlaub in zwei Unterkünften verbracht: 8 Tage im Norden, 5 Tage hier, das war eine sinnvolle Aufteilung. Wir hätten uns eine Sitzmöglichkeit um unser Steinhaus herum gewünscht, so war das Gelände nicht besonders einladend sich tagsüber dort mal länger aufzuhalten.
- Tomasz (8/5): -
- Rita (10/5): - Maior variedade de fruta ao pequeno almoço, de resto tudo excelente
- Ana (8/5): Bela viagem ao passado - Do ambiente, envolvência e decoração da quinta, da simpatia de todos os colaboradores, da piscina quase vazia. Limpeza do quarto excelente. Também gostei muito do restaurante nos dias de semana, durante o fim de semana o atendimento e a confeção da comida ficam a perder, devido a estar muito cheio e a capacidade de resposta ai falhar um pouco. Aconselho a ir durante a semana e sempre com reserva. Dada serem casas reaproveitadas e com o objetivo de manter o ambiente tradicional, existe muita madeira pelo que o chão faz muito barulho e ouvem-se os hóspedes dos outros quartos, o que é complicado para quem tem o sono leve. Tivemos sorte não serem pessoas barulhentas, se não seria muito complicado. É uma pena, pois de resto o silêncio e sossego de toda a quinta são maravilhosos. Penso que se o alojamento for numa casa inteira não existirá esse problema.
- Freitas (10/5): INCRÍVEL! - Todas as pessoas que lá estão são incríveis!
O espaço é lindo e vale a pena explorar!
A comida é da melhor que já comi!
Que espaço tranquilo e acolhedor
- Maurizio (8/5): - Caratteristico
- Isabelle (9/5): - Le site dans un environnement superbement entretenu .
Le service hôtelier
Le petit déjeuner très copieux
L’accueil et la gentillesse de Gilberto .
- Didier (9/5): - La différence avec les hébergements habituels. Une authenticité des lieux et le calme Rien
- Alissa (8/5): Unique chance to experience life in the olden days - The houses are set-up like in the olden days and you feel like you are stepping back in time. Definitely a unique experience! There is a bathroom with running water and a kitchen downstairs from the bedroom that are more modern, so you aren't completely roughing it. But in the main sleeping room, the ambience feels very rustic. It feels like you are living in a different era, although there is electricity (though most outlets are downstairs) and an air conditioner (though it isn't very powerful and can't fully keep up with the heat). The breakfast is also amazing and has a full range of local cheeses, breads, meats, and jams with lots of good, strong coffee. :-) It's a memorable experience and worth spending a night! I don't think I would recommend dinner at the restaurant, or at least I would recommend skipping the alcatra, which is their specialty dish. It's essentially a lot of stewed meat (no veggies), with bread. It was around 30 euro (2 people) for a massive vat of meat, but it's impossible to eat all of it. If you can find someplace that serves this in smaller portions for a cheaper price, I would recommend that. (Or just skipping it all together. Every island in the Azores seems to have their own version of a stewed meat dish, and they all taste very similar.) We enjoyed the appetizers at the restaurant, and they had some soup options which we didn't try. If you do eat at the restaurant, I would recommend ordering these lighter options unless you really enjoy stewed meat.
- Patrice (8/5): -
- Angel (9/5): - Experiencia única y diferente
- juliana (8/5): - Gostei da envolvência da Quinta, muito natural e muito pura. Um projeto muito bonito!!!! Nada a mencionar
- Federico (8/5): - Ottima pulizia e ordine, ambienti ricreati con cura maniacale e precisione dalla proprietà, titolari e personale gentilissimi e disponibili ad ogni domanda e richiesta; Letto e biancheria fantastici.
Ristorante con cucina tipica e a km zero, sapori autentici e genuini
- Fernandez (3/5): -
- Raquel (8/5): - A quinta é muito bonita! Dá para passear.
O espaço está decorado de uma forma que nos faz viajar ao passado. Para quem viaja com crianças é como dormir num museu.
Todos os funcionários são simpáticos e prestáveis.
- Caroline (10/5): - Das ist kein Hotel. Das ist eine Zeitreise. Aber eine mit Notbremse. Also keine Angst.
Ganz tolles einzigartiges Erlebnis. Bitte mehrere Tage und dringend essen und zwar immer alles laut Empfehlung!
Bitte nicht mit der Erwartungshaltung an ein modernes Luxusresort hierher kommen, das geht schief
"Diffrent" um Gilberto zu zitieren.
Und Paul, die "Restaurantrakete" ist eine Show für sich!
- Linda (10/5): - The facilities were authentic Portugese. They were rustic. Not the most comfortable. The bed was great. No cushioned chairs or couches
- Fátima (9/5): Estadia calma. Ouvem-se os passarinhos de manhã, e os galos também. - A quinta do Martelo está situada em zona rural muito calma. Há todo um cuidado em preservar as tradições.
A cama é confortável e o pequeno almoço excelente. Correu tudo bem, mas tive pena de não visitar as instalações dos ofícios tradicionais, não por impedimento dos proprietários mas porque choveu.
- Nathan (10/5): Expérience à part entière ! - Un séjour merveilleux dans cet hôtel unique, au coeur de l’immanquable île de Terceira. La casa do Martelo est une expérience ethnographique formidable à laquelle se mêle le confort d’un agréable hébergement et la gentillesse du gérant, Gilberto, qui a su nous accueillir avec générosité !
- Francesca (7/5): Interesting place! - very authentic Azorean stay, the concept of the Quinta
and the reconstruction of historic houses and
restaurant are very interesting and a rare find.
Quite clean. The humidity in the room(but can be expected given
the peculiar accommodation!)
Not good value for money given that the restaurant was closed (the owner informed us the previous day that the restaurant was not available and that all other facilities were closed). Without the whole experience
of the restaurant and the Quinta, it's not worth it…
- João (10/5): - Boa e real excelente anfintria
Jantar fabuloso
- olivier (9/5): Charmant et confortable - Dispositions de la ferme village et les explications passionnées de Gilberto.
Chambre confortable avec un petit dejeuner copieux mis à disposition la veille .
Le restaurant sur place qui propose une cuisine traditionnelle à base des produits de la ferme
- Sérgio (8/5): - Estadia comida e a ilha em si Gostei de tudo
- Maike (8/5): Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit auf Terceira und in der Unterkunft. - Wir haben in direkter Nachbarschaft zum Pool gewohnt. Es war toll, morgens und abends hineinzuhüpfen oder am Poolrand den Sternenhimmel zu betrachten. Genuss pur! Am Anfang fanden wir den musealen Charakter des Hauses witzig, mit der Zeit wurde das Öffnen der alten Schlösser etc. etwas nervig.
Wir haben fußläufig keine anderen Restaurants entdeckt.
- Juliette (9/5): -
- Silvia (9/5): Excelente! Ficará na nossa memória da visita a esta terra tão bonita - A decoração, a limpeza impecável, hospitalidade e excelente pequeno almoço. Um lugar a voltar brevemente e a recomendar a amigos.
Ambiente genuíno. Casa agrícola antiga com todas as comodidades.
- Dina (9/5): - very authentic and one of a kind stay and location. true experience of the Azores
- Ileana (10/5): Authentic, unique, clean and beautiful! An amazing place, offering a journey back to the past with all modern comforts. - Authentic, unique, clean and beautiful! An amazing place, offering a journey back to the past with all modern comforts.
- robert (8/5): Très calme et agréable - Copieux...ça manque un peu de fruits
Le resto vaut la peine aussi Rien de particulier
- José (9/5): Excelente conexão com a ilha e as suas gentes. - Uma forma diferente de ficar hospedado, numa ilha tão bela como a Terceira. Foi uma viagem ao passado, em que tivemos a possibilidade de mostrar aos nossos filhos, como viveram os seus bisavós e avós. Toda a quinta é um museu. Para quem aprecia arquitetura e história, e estiver atento, pode avaliar e valorizar os imensos pormenores e detalhes que refletem a enorme paixão, tempo e investimento que o Sr. Gilberto dedicou a este espaço ao longo dos último 40 anos. Bem haja.
- anne (8/5): Une expérience originale - C’est une expérience interessante à vivre! On sent que Gilberto (le propriétaire y a mis toute sa vie)
- Bart (6/5): -
- Judy (7/5): - Was surprised with the uniqueness of the resort. Breakfast was traditional Portuguese/ Azores fare.
- Claudia (8/5): Een belevenis - Je verblijft in een soort van openluchtmuseum zo ervaar je het leven van vroeger op de eilanden.
De kamer was zeer groot met verrassende details.
Het typische diner is een must.
Ontbijten in een mooie setting.
Het is een belevenis. Bij het ontbijt hadden we graag meer vers fruit, groenten en een eitje.
Zeker omdat ze zo een grote biologische tuin hebben en veel kippen.
Het filter systeem van het zwembad was niet in werking tijdens ons verblijf.
- Harold (10/5): Perfect stay at a unique property, I would highly recomend anyone to stay here. - A perfect stay at a unique property that allows one to experience the early island life, but still have modern conveniences. The property is very clean and well kept. The owner takes pride in his island heritage and this property allows you an immersive and educational experience without sacrificing amenities. Do not miss having some meals at the restaurant. I would highly recommend this property to all travelers. Nothing. Perfect stay.

- Julien (9/5): Une magnifique découverte d'un concept original et très enrichissant pour le client. - L'emplacement et la situation géographique de l'établissement sont idéals. Il se trouve à 5 km d'Angra et à 2 km de San Matheus ce qui est très pratique. L'hôte est d'une gentillesse incroyable et le petit déjeuner est très garni. Nous sommes globalement totalement satisfait. Nous ne comprenons juste pas pourquoi l'âne est accroché avec une chaîne aussi courte dans un si grand enclos. Cela se voit qu'il en souffre et ne peut pas jouir de toute la mobilité dont il a besoin. Peut-être une raison nous échappe.

- Valentina (6/5): - Η φύση και η πισίνα. Το δωμάτιο έχει πολλή υγρασία και μόνο ένα μικρό παράθυρο.
Δεν έχει χώρο για άπλωμα ρούχων, οπότε αφήναμε κάποια στο κάτω ξύλο του κρεβατιού. Το άτομο που καθάριζε το δωμάτιο μετακίνησε την πρώτη μέρα τα ρούχα μας. Έγραψα ένα σημείωμα, για να αφήσουν τα ρούχα στη θέση τους, και πάλι όμως τα μετακίνησαν. Π.χ. άπλωσαν την καθαρή πετσέτα μου επάνω στη βρώμικη βαλίτσα.
Ο ιδιοκτήτης ήρθε το τελευταίο βράδυ να μας μιλήσει από το παράθυρο για την πληρωμή του δωματίου, ενώ θα μπορούσε να πάρει τηλέφωνο ή να χτυπήσει την κανονική πόρτα. Όση ώρα μιλούσε, είχε τα χέρια του πάνω στο μαγιό μου, το οποίο είχα τοποθετήσει στο μικρό χώρο που είχε κάτω από το παράθυρο για να στεγνώσει.
- Bérénice (9/5): Jolie parenthèse à Terceira - L’ensemble de maisonnettes que forme Quinta do Martelo est un lieu beau et apaisant. L’hôte a pris le temps de nous présenter le projet et a su nous aider pour commander un taxi. La soupe aux légumes du restaurant le soir était délicieuse (non inclus).
- Rosemarie (10/5): - They very very nice and accommodated all our needs it was just for one night and we were in and out fast hopefully next time we came we’ll make time to do the tour and end it a little more besides that it was wonderful we all them the whole house the wood work it was just beautiful thank you very much Nothing everything was wonderful
- Masa (10/5): Must visit on Terceira! The best place!!! - This is an amazing place, you must stay here if visiting Terceira! Whole village, including architectural, gastronomic, ethnographic and cultural evolution of the island of Terceira. You can see different handcraft workshops as they used to be, you can se farming, orchards, chicken, you sleep in different houses. At arrival you get a map and then you explore the village. It is amazing how every detail is made with affort. You are transported back in time, but keeping all the luxury of the modern times. Amazing breakfast and great traditional restaurant on site. Kind staff, nice rooms and pool. Top stay!!!! Everything was amazing!
- Helena (7/5): - Es war eine besondere Erfahrung, die wir zwar nicht missen, jedoch auch nicht wiederholen möchten. Der Pool ist wunderbar! Das Essen im Restaurant am Abend — sehr empfehlenswert.
- Alexandre (9/5): For a different experience - Like old small houses, recreate old way of living but with modern facilities.
The restaurante is amazing and we had the best diner in the island. A bit like sleeping in a museum…
