Pousada de Angra do Heroísmo Castelo de São Sebastião

Historic fort hotel above the bay in UNESCO-listed Angra

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star pousada built into the 16th-century São Sebastião fort on the edge of Angra do Heroísmo, with an outdoor pool inside the fort walls and views over the bay. Pousadas are run by the Pestana group and this one is listed as dogs allowed. It suits a Terceira stay where you walk the old town and the Monte Brasil headland.

Why it's in the collection

The Monte Brasil forest reserve and its trails start about 1 km west across the bay, and the old-town streets of Angra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a short walk away.

One small dog up to 15 kg, on a lead, and never left alone.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
