Vila Gale Collection S.Miguel 

Historical charm

An unbeatable location, great dining and beautiful outdoor pool make this historical hotel a must-stay.

History lovers will be in their element here. This former 19th-Century hospital and convent turned hotel is pretty special. Despite its recent transformation, the iconic building manages to retain its old-world charm. Its pastel pink façade draws you into a grand entrance, setting the scene for the rest of the hotel. Once you’re inside, geometric porcelain tiles guide you to your room where historical figures grace the walls. There’s a restaurant serving up delicious local delicacies, a pool with a picturesque courtyard setting and a spa complete with a sauna and Turkish bath. The location is hard to beat too, just a stone’s throw from the centre of Ponta Delgada.
