Terrantai Lodge

The property was beautiful. Very well designed. The log fires were to die for. The team were out of this world. Their hospitality and attention to details like remembering your name was something else. The range of events during the day was something else. Breakfast, snacks, tea tasting, wine tasting…. A huge thank you to Christian too - a few of us had such a lovely chat with him over wine tasting.

Terrantai is a wonderful oasis of calm and hospitality. It’s beautifully designed with cosy rooms and plenty of communal space which they have thoughtfully laid out and decorated to give a very unique experience. We chilled by the pool and sat in the candlelight in the veranda area. We had superb breakfasts even on mornings when we needed to leave very early for a trip . The staff are so kind and helpful from the moment you arrive . They provide a wine tasting and lots of nibbles available in the afternoon. And chilled drinking water on tap. It’s just amazing . It’s in a great location you walk out of the door and you are in the hustle and bustle of the little town but once inside Terrantai it’s cosy and peaceful. We wouldn’t hesitate to return . Thank you .

the hotel location is simply perfect, because it is just steps away from rua Caracoles, and all little shops and restaurants. Breakfast is great, although we had to skip a few breakfasts because the tours usually begin really early in the morning - but you have the option to have breakfast prior to tours, as some of the items will be available, like yogurt, coffee, cheese, bread etc. We stayed in a room with garden view and it was really nice, the beds are super comfortable. Things that make the hotel super special: they offer tea all day, a snack time in the afternoon available with nuts and dried fruits, and they also offer a happy hour with wine in the evening, where the hotel guests get together to have some free wine and chat!

The staff are the highlight of this hotel. When I was struck down with altitude sickness, they were very helpful to my husband in advising him where the pharmacy was, giving me snacks, and keeping an eye on how I was feeling. The location is great, in the middle of town, on a quiet road only 50m from many bars and restaurants. Our room (21) was very hot (no air-conditioning, just a ceiling fan), and at times became unbearable, particularly if you're ill in bed recovering from dehydration, and sickness! The bathroom was also unbearably hot, with no natural ventilation, so not particularly pleasant to spend much time in. The hotel has a swimming pool and a small outdoor deck, which is very pleasant (especially when trying to escape the heat of the room), and the breakfast area and outdoor dining areas are also pleasant for the free afternoon tea and free wine tasting. We didn't really get the full benefit of the breakfast with the egg station as we were out on tours early each day, but the other breakfast items were quite basic, but perfectly adequate.

Excellent location. Lovely staff. Great bedrooms. Very comfy bed. Delicious breakfast. Lovely personal touches like wine tasting in the evenings.
