"A True Gem with Exceptional Hospitality!! My stay at Palácio Santa Catarina was nothing short of fantastic. The property is charming and serene, but the incredible staff truly makes it special. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and even stepped in to help resolve issues caused by a local tour company, with kindness, patience, and efficiency. Their genuine care turned a potential headache into a positive memory. This is the place to be if you’re looking for a peaceful stay with people who genuinely look after you. I can’t recommend it highly enough!"

"Great location and the staff were very helpful "

"Bed was not firm and shower water was running outside onto the floor.Overall everything else was outstanding. "

"Wanted to stay in a place other than a cookie cutter hotel and more like one with local charm."

"My cousin & I chose this hotel as a base camp for hiking on Terceira because of its close location to Monte Brasil, the harbour & lots of restaurants. All the staff were very kind, thoughtful & helpful. We were checked in by Fluberto, who gave us good advice for our 1st hike & Lisandra connected us with an amazing taxi driver (Vasco) who was bilingual, and assisted us with our late check out request. We met Jeff, the owner & his lovely dog (Whiskey)- you can tell he has put a lot of thought into the place. The lobby is clean, minimalist, with a nice decor. The elevator runs smoothly, albeit on the smaller side (typical of European hotel elevators though), and the floors are also accessible via stairs. There were a couple of steps up from the entrance to the lobby- not sure if there is an accessible option they can provide (like a ramp). Our room was well decorated- the furniture, the colours, and decor were tasteful. Everything was clean, the bed was firm (maybe too firm for me, but other may enjoy it more). The soaps/shampoos were all local/Azorean products. The tap water is drinkable, but they still provided a bottle and glasses. The room contained a working safe, and plug-points with USB type A and C outlets as well- perfect for travellers from outside EU. The hotel is close to many amenities including pharmacies, shops & restaurants- it is also attached to its own delicious bakery, as well as an American-themed restaurant (busy with locals!). Would stay again!"

"We liked the suite room with the loft bedroom and two bathrooms, one up and one downstairs. The town also had a beautiful garden area behind the property. The location was also very convenient. Very nice staff."

"The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing and the rooms were very clean. The beds were also incredibly comfortable! If we ever venture back to Terceira, we will for sure be staying at The Shipyard!"

"Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Close to the ocean and walking distance to the town of Praia Di Vitoria. Restaurants close by as well."

"Room had fantastic view. Professional service."
