Alluar Lodge

The owner was super kind and helpful, not only while we stayed there but also before hand. He went over and beyond making us feel comfortable and happy during our stay and gave us recommendations of events happening in the area which we were very greatful for being able to participate in. The service, the location, the property and the villa all exceeded our expectations. This is truly a hidden gem and a must stay when visiting the Terceira island.

Alberto ensured we felt welcome and enjoyed our stay he took the time to do introduce us to the room, and how to effectively communicate requests. Our room was clean, beds comfy, pillows plenty and extra comforter if you wanted them. The kitchenette had all you would need to enjoy your stay. The breakfast picnic basket was a delight in the morning and included continental breakfast options, good coffee and fresh juice. The grounds are beautiful clean and kept well, with lots of seating options. Although the weather didn’t cooperate the pool was clean and would have been a great option if the weather permitted. There’s a nice paved walking trail along the ocean front giving you no excuse not to get your steps in. The resident cat often found us for a cuddle and a scratch behind the ear. Thanks for a wonderful experience, we’d return here without any hesitation.

We had a pleasant two night stay in Alluar Lodge in southern part of Terceira Island. It has a great location on the outskirts of the village Porto Judeu and short distance to Lajes airport and the capital Angra. Parking was easy just in front of the property next to the viewpoint. From the parking lot we could take the scenic path to the village. Our bungalow had a small bedroom, sitting area with kitchenette and bathroom. Everything was very clean. The accommodation was smaller, but comfortable for two people. We could also use large shared lounge. Outside the door there was small terrace with another seating. We liked the view of the ocean and Cabras Islets. The breakfast was brought in the picnic baskets. It offered a good variety- fresh orange juice, coffee, bread, ham, cheese, granola and yogurt. Our favorite place for our morning meal was the covered barbecue area. Our host Alberto was friendly and welcoming and took a good care of our comfort. He also had a helpful recommendation about restaurants and sightseeing. When using Google navigation use the longer, wider road when approaching accommodation, not the narrow, steep lane (Google’s choice).
