This apartment exceeded all expectations. Not only is it beautiful and spacious, but it's also thoughtfully equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating, always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests. And let's not forget about the charming garden, where you can enjoy the company of adorable rabbits while taking in the breathtaking view of the Pico mountain. Highly recommended!

A wonderful hidden island for people who like the silence, the hiking and the mountains. Beware that the supermarkets have few things.
Azores are expensive to live, because of few available homes and the prices raise up.

Loved the old city...however, construction was taking place which made getting around by car a little confusing. Loved walking around the waterfront and seeing the famous marina as well as the artwork created by mariners. Shopping in the local stores was a good experience with prices that you don't feel taken advantage of. Shopping in the city's Mercado was also a nice experience. Trying new restaurants around the city was also a good experience. While there, rent a car...best way to get around as public transportation is not regular or abundant. Also, try to visit the neighboring island of Pico on the ferry and spend a few days there...lots to see.

Island more quiet than Sao Miguel, felt more centered around the sea. A good mix of sea and land. A few good walks along the shore or around a caldera or inland. Unusual landscapes. The roads are very good compared to Sao Miguel.

We have now visited Horta 13 times in eight years, and will continue to visit in coming months/years. For a small city in the middle of the North Atlantic, Horta has a very welcoming feel, and is an ideal base for people wanting to visit the central group of Azorean Islands.
It's easy to walk around, and the rest of the island of Faial is accessible through day tours, e.g. with Azores Experiences who we would highly recommend. There are whale and dolphin watching trips from March - October, together with walking tours, Caldeira descent (which requires a formal guide and cannot be done alone), and a visit to the volcano and interpretation centre at Capelinhos is a must.
There are a good number of excellent restaurants (Atletico, Medalhas, Genuino, Taberna do Pim, etc.) and the Oceanic bar and restaurant (their barbecue is superb) to try locally caught fish and local beef. For a good value breakfast or lunch, there are plenty of small cafes (e.g. Cafe Silva, behind Peter's Cafe) which offer great hospitality.
If the weather is good and you fancy a relaxing day, there is also the beach at Porto Pim, which is used regularly by visitors and locals alike.

The best of 3 islands I have visited during this trip: San MIguel, Pico and Horta.
Horta has good vibes, nature and is very alive and beautiful city and the island is pretty.

Nice little layd back town with astounding views of the islands Faial and Pico with their different and mystifying volcanoes, over the ever present calming ocean sights and sounds. Friendly locals serve all kinds of traditional and popular dishes and snacks, and offer quality lodging depending on your wishes and wallet. With a rental car, taxi or public transport it's easy to visit interesting geological, natural and cultural locations spread around the island. There is a lot of time and space there to come to yourself or interact with the local community.
It's a great flat very near the centre, you can easily walk to the marina. The place is spacious and has a private parking which was great. Sarah is a super great host and helped us with everything. Check in was really easy. The place was clean and light up. Just next to the beach of Pim. The place is modern and refurbished. We also had some coffee pods there which was great and washing machine pods as well which was handy. A great place to stay if you are in Horta.
Filipa and Victorio were very helpful and welcoming. Victorio took the time to show us the apartment and the property. The property is big and very well maintained with great view of Pico with a roof top terrace. The apartment is clean and well decorated (on a modern stype), the 2 bedrooms have private bathrooms and that is very useful. The location is not far from Horta and very quiet. The Portuguese bread is a nice touch.
I stayed there for the second time and hope to return in the future. The apartment has everything you need and is very clean. The location is excellent - two minutes to the beautiful Porto Pim beach. There's a nice bakery around the corner and a local snack bar. Peace and quiet. Close to the marina of Horta and the Entre Montes touristic trail.
Cosy, well equipped appartment in a very good location close to the sea promenade, marina and ferry to Pico. Friendly host. The interiors were fine as well as the kitchen. Free car park nearby. Padaria, minimarket and some restaurants within 3 minutes walk. Best solution for Horta stay.
Clean, spacious apartment with great view. Excellent location and value for money. The best beds we had during our 2 weeks Azores island hopping holiday.
Special thanks to Sandra for pre ordering us a taxi from the port to airport when we missed our ferry back to Faial from Pico!
Staff was great, very professional and welcoming. The rooms were quite big, modern (with AC) and clean. Shared rooms (kitchen, living room) were also very nice. The hotel has a modern look and is located only 5mns away from the city center (walking). You can see the ocean.
Excellent hotel with friendly staff very conveniently located near the main harbor in Horta. Very good breakfast with a vast collection, good bar, good and quick room service, excellent staff at the reception who took care of all questions we had.
A beautiful hotel in a historical house located in front of Horta's marina, so you have easy access to all the main sights and places of the city. A very spacious room, comfy beds, a clean and modern bathroom. Views over the bay are great.
Very nice accommodation, Elena and Jerry made all their possible to render our stay really comfortable. In their hands, our 3-day stay has been wonderful, wish we could stay longer. Horta worth a 4-7 day sojourn - no less!
The welcome by the hostess was very warm and friendly by Maria. The breakfast was delicious and sufficient. Every day my room was fresh and cleaned. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay carefree in the Azores.
Everything about the hotel and location was perfect. It was exciting to be in a "former" fort with walls and cannons around. I would definitely recommend staying here.
