Book Quinta Do Martelo in Angra do Heroismo

Quinta Do Martelo offers seven houses built with traditional Azorean architecture. Each unit includes a private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a balcony with views of the garden or mountains. The one-bedroom houses sleep families or couples amid exposed stone walls and rustic wooden beams.

The on-site restaurant has received the National Heritage Award for its Azorean cuisine. Menu items include Alcatra, a beef stew cooked for 24 hours in a wood oven, and a honey pudding dessert called Queijada da Vila. Ingredients come from the hotel's organic farm and orchard, supplying vegetables for the daily soup.

Guests have access to a tennis court, a mini-golf course, and a billiards room. The hotel provides badminton equipment, bicycles for tours, and guided walking tours of the property's cultural sites. An outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers sits in the center of the gardens.

A sauna and a fitness center are available for guest use. The spa lounge area offers a relaxation space with access to a public bath. Sun loungers and beach chairs line the outdoor pool deck.
