Vale Verde
About
Vale Verde, on São Miguel (Azores), stands at R. Das Caldeiras 3, 9675-045 Furnas, Portugal. First-time visitors arrive in Furnas, a village in the island's eastern interior known for its volcanic landscape, with Ponta Delgada, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação all within driving distance.
A 4.2 out of 5 average across 180 reviews gives a clear sense of how guests regard the place. The property's own site at http://hotelvaleverde.com/ carries the details of what is on offer.
Furnas sits inland from the main coastal resorts, so a car or a taxi is the usual way to reach it from Ponta Delgada and the southern towns. The village's setting in the island's green interior places it away from the coast, among the hills and hot springs that draw visitors east.
Portugal's islands have a mild oceanic climate, with green landscapes through the year and most rain in winter, so Furnas stays verdant in almost any month. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Island cooking is built around fresh seafood, local cheeses and volcanic-soil wines, and the Furnas area is well placed for trying them.
