Pousada de Angra do Heroismo Castelo de S. Sebastiao
What Guests Say
Excellent room and view. Very quiet (our major requirement). Very good breakfast. Very friendly - and helpful - staff. A very nice surprise: music only in the restaurant, well chosen, and not loud. (In the past, I've stayed in Pousadas with music in all spaces - and did complained about this in the evaluation. So this is a plus and other Pousadas should follow this example.) The WiFi worked perfectly.

We had a sea view which was excellent. The weather was changeable and so we could see the ocean in its different moods! The room was well appointed and thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis. All the staff we met during our stay were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a treat with a good range of hot and cold food, sweet and savoury and some interesting Azorean bits to try out. The setting was really lovely, the hotel is concealed behind the walls of a 17th century fort and we were able to walk along the walls of the fort - great for pictures. There were two small swimming pools for children and adults and access to the town was a 10-15 minute walk along the sea front. Would thoroughly recommend the experience.

View was fabulous; room was airy and comfortable; breakfast was excellent; location was amazing - not only picturesque but easy walking to town, marina, restaurants. Small swimming pool fit the bill, and walking the walls of the fort was something truly exceptional. We went on a boat trip with the hotel's recommended tour operator to the Goat Islands - a small but safe open boat, marvelous visit inside a cave on the island and swimming in the blue sea.

Unique hotel for history fans like our group. It was really neat to stay in a historic fort. We loved the pool and swam in it every day to cool off in the August heat. Be aware that you have to walk up a large hill to get from town to this hotel. Being on high ground is to be expected when you’re staying at an old military fortification that looked out over the town.

Nicely converted old Fort overlooking the ocean. Bedroom was comfortable and clean. Beautiful views of ocean and over parts of the old city. Easy to get around and walk in town, but be ready for hills and uneven cobblestone. Staff were friendly and the buffet breakfast offered lots of variety and no shortage of food.

Reception was excellent and facilities within the complex were really good. The ambience (in a fort!) was delightfully quirky. Sunrise was brilliant, as was the outdoor swimming pool. Breakfast was plentiful and enjoyable. The room was really quiet. TV had a wide range of channels, incl. English-language BBC and Sky.

Wonderful and helpful staff, room air conditioning was great and quiet, loved the view from the room, room was cozy and clean, great look in the bathroom. Flavio and Fernanda were wonderful and welcoming. Booked here after 2 of 3 nights at another hotel were awful. Even had dinner at the restaurant which was great. Highly recommend. And loved that it was in the old fortress.

It is stunningly beautiful, the views are dream-worthy, and it’s really meaningful to stay in this type of historic property. The staff is also great, as is the breakfast. The pool is really nice too.
