Lovely property with furnishings like from a comfortable old fashioned home. Bed was very nice, room was spacious with a/c, bathroom nice. Shower/bathtub has one of those plastic shields wh we n showering but water gets all over the floor anyway. 🙂
The restaurant and its staff are is good focusing on Italian dishes. Staff at front desk are efficient but not friendly, except for one woman who was nice. You can leave your luggage if you arrive before the 2pm checkin time.
There’s a lovely rooftop pool but it was closed for repairs during my visit.
Great location to historic area and the water including whale watching boats.

Parking was available onsite with a grocery store across the street.
It should be noted the property is not directly on the beach, it looks out on to the water but is a 5 min walk to it (if planning on coming with young kids).

Hotel Talisman is in a central location in Ponta Delgada. A free parking lot is nearby. Staff is responsive, pleasant and efficient. Breakfast was plentiful and served in a lovely space overlooking public flower garden. Pool was delightful. Mattresses were a bit hard but otherwise room was well-furnished and authentic. Only negatives were thin walls and the street noise from outdoors of cars screeching around a curve.

ALLES am Hotel war wirklich hervorragend! Einzig die Parkmöglichkeit für das Mietauto waren nicht so optimal. Parkplatz sehr begrenzt und kostenpflichtig. Etwa 7 Minuten Gehweg bis zu den kostenlosen Parkplätzen.

This is a great hotel in the centre of everything. I would class it as a boutique hotel with a lot of character including an open landing with seating area and library.
I used the top pool area quite a bit in the mornings and it was generally quiet. The gym is there too and was being upgraded with new equipment when I was there.
Breakfast was the usual tasty fair and a good way to set up the day. I also ate there twice in the evening and really enjoyed the food both times. The restaurant always seemed to be busy in the evenings and was part of the food tasting tour but I didn't need to book in advance.
The staff were also great, from helping me fix my safe to generally looking after my needs and ensuring I was ok.
As a slight aside, they do a couple of things differently to other hotels which I found refreshing as they cut out seemingly unnecessary admin. They didn't need my credit card on check in but I was still able to charge to the room. Also, pool towels were available anytime from reception with no need for deposits, etc and two drop off points for returning them.
On a final point, I emailed them in the spring before my trip and asked if I could have a room with a balcony overlooking the public garden and they managed to sort that out for me. It was great leaving the doors/windows open and/or sitting on the balcony at different times during the day just to chill for a bit as the room sometimes got a little warm/humid.

Beautiful hotel, rooftop pool was very nice. Would have liked the beds to be softer. Outside on the garden side it was noisy at night.
