An exclusive luxury experience surrounded by the lush verdure of São Miguel Island.

By Elite Traveler

Botania Hall by Terra Nostra is an exclusive villa located in Furnas Valley, inserted in the iconic Terra Nostra Garden, one of the most emblematic gardens in the Azores Islands and Portugal.

In the heart of São Miguel Island, inside of Furnas Valley, Terra Nostra Garden dates back to 1775, when American merchant Thomas Hickling fell in love with Furnas and decided to create the perfect relaxation haven which still seduces every visitor today.

Aside from its large Camellia Collection (over 800 species, some of which are unique in the World) and other rare species, Terra Nostra Garden is known worldwide for its thermal pool, filled with volcanic water from the hot springs at a steady 40°C (104°F), rich in iron and other minerals highly beneficial for the skin and creating complete and unparalleled relaxation.
