Quinta do Martelo

Best meal of our trip! Paul was amazing, the orange pudding dessert is a must, the beef stew is great but bring something for leftovers since it's a lot even for four people but makes awesome sandwiches.This just also be a 200 character review so blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah

Staying here is like stepping back into a simpler life of idyllic peace and quiet. The property is a living museum of how Azoreans lived connected to the land with their own animals, gardens and market for guests. We spent an entire afternoon exploring the grounds of Quinta do Martelo and still didn't cover it all with all the winding paths and hidden "gems". The location was central for exploring the island, close to city of Angra do Heroísmo but set off in a more secluded, quiet area. Each house is like a museum in itself, illustrating what village life was like more than a century ago. The attention to detail and authenticity is remarkable, each part of the house has been well thought out to preserve both history and tradition, while ensuring coziness and comfort to its guests. The house we stayed in had a traditional wood fired kitchen and it was great to imagine what it was like keeping a fire going all day (but then just flipping on the stove when we needed to use one, LOL). We also had a chance to light the old-fashioned kerosene lamps. We enjoyed dinner one night at the restaurant, which was very special as they serve traditional dishes and we ate appetizers we hadn't tried anywhere else on the island. The Alcatra was incredible and the staff was attentive and kind. Nearly all the food served is grown at the Quinta. For anyone who enjoys connecting to history and culture, and getting a real sense of a place Quinta do Martelo is the place to stay! Thank you, we'll be back ＜3

Cozy location, with terrace and garden. Tasty tipical food and wine, as suggested by the very friendly service. Remarkable price/quality ratio, with abundant courses (we weren’t able to finish them all!) Recommended for couples and families with children.

Mas que experiência gastronómica fantástica... Acolhimento, serviço, comida... Sem palavras para descrever. Degustação maravilhosa de comida caseira excelentemente cozinhada /preparada. Imperdivel para quem visita a Terceira. Five stars ⭐
