Landescape Furnas — Hotel in Povoação

This has to be one of the most special and beautiful places in the world. As soon as we arrived, we were in awe of the beauty of this area. You will not find a more relaxing and beautiful place to get away. The photos on their website do not do justice to this extraordinary Location. You feel like you are in your own private hub as there are only five separate suites on the property. The rooms are spacious—there is a wonderful kitchen and bathroom that are top-notch.

The fresh bread that they bring every morning is absolutely delicious. Also, they bring eggs, yogurt, as well as meats and cheeses that are replenished in the fridge. They also provide the coffee pods for the maker. teabags are also provided.

The service here is stellar. Estevao came on our first full day to show us how to work some of these appliances. Also, when you are there, definitely booked the Turkish bath. It was our favourite thing to do each day. We also loved the Jacuzzi and the sauna. The pool is absolutely fantastic as well!

I cannot thank the owners enough for such a beautiful stay. It was way beyond our expectations and we are so appreciative to have experienced this vacation.

Housekeeping is also stellar! The two ladies are so incredibly friendly and helpful. You really feel like you are at home staying here. Thank you again for this...

We stayed at this hotel in August 2024, booking a room for 5 nights, and we were absolutely satisfied with our experience. The hotel is small and feels more like a complex of apartments than a traditional hotel, as during our entire stay, we only saw the cleaners a few times. We never met the manager or anyone from the hotel in person, as all matters were handled online, which was actually quite convenient. It really gave the impression of renting a small house with a pool, tucked away in a beautiful forest.

If you enjoy being close to nature and far from city noise, this place is perfect for you. The windows face an internal garden, and there are only a few rooms on the property, so we never encountered crowds around the pool or any noise, which we really appreciated. The pool is quite large, and while swimming, you get a lovely view of the surrounding nature. There’s also a jacuzzi and sauna near the pool that you can book and enjoy.

We also really appreciated the housekeeping service. The cleaner came every day and did an excellent job of tidying the room. It was very comfortable to return to a well-kept room after a day of exploring.

I highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful...

This is the place to stay. Close to town yet isolated. Stay here. BUT, very frustrating, due to the technology. I’m going to mention it so maybe some of it can be fixed or at least some “how to” guidance can be provided. Here goes: A six digit entry code is too hard to remember. The front door only opened a foot and then had to be forced. Many unlabeled light switches. Could not figure out how to use the cooktop, microwave wave, or dishwasher. No soap for the dishwasher, which didn’t matter since I couldn’t turn it on. Boiled the breakfast eggs in the teakettle since that worked. Breakfast was never replenished according to the schedule of every other day. Fortunately there was a grocery near by. The high intensity light in WC come on based on motion. That really sucks in the middle of the night. Flat screen has lots of features and extras (e.g., Netflix) but I just wanted TV and the news/weather. Couldn’t find it.

Never greeted by anyone who spoke English. That’s not really important, but I was surprised. Couldn’t discuss these issues. Talked with my neighbor and they didn’t know how to operate the technology either.

None of this matters. Stay here if you want isolation...
