A pousada where comfort meets style in the restored Azorean fortress
History and nature converge at Pousada Forte Angra do Heroísmo, housed in a 16th-century fort that once fought off pirates and witnessed the defeat of navies in the mid-Atlantic Ocean.
Charming and panoramic
Come and immerse yourself in the rich, formidable history of Terceira Island and the mythical town that will spark your imagination: Angra do Heroísmo.
Pousada Forte Angra do Heroísmo, located in the Fort of São Sebastião, which was once the scene of resounding victories against pirates and corsairs, is now a venue where you can enjoy the best the Azores have to offer: nature in its purest state.
The Pousada Forte Angra do Heroísmo invites you to stay overnight in a historic location where the walls once kept out invaders such as Sir Francis Drake.
Situated on top of a cliff in the heart of the historic centre of Angra do Heroísmo, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Pousada occupies the Fort of São Sebastião, built in the 16th century to protect the trade routes between Brazil and India.
You can enjoy panoramic views over the ocean, take a dip in the swimming pool and stroll along the ancient walls. Explore the city centre and learn about the rich history that has shaped this island in the Azores.

With references to the various Portuguese regions on the wine list, the menu draws all its inspiration from the sea and the Azorean pastures.
In an elegant and modern setting, enjoy the influence of nature on the menu to the full. The beef rump, from the cows that graze freely in the fields, is a treatise on softness and flavor. As for the fish, the breaded forkbeard with passion fruit sauce is an original and irresistible proposal.
