The Pousada was very centrally located with a great view from our room of Pico on Sao Jorge. The rooms was spacious and we were upgraded to a water view room at no extra cost with an amazing terrace to sit and enjoy the gorgeous weather. The staff were professional and friendly and willing in every way to accommodate our... More

Nice place to stay for a few days to get adjusted to the peaceful life of the Azores. We enjoyed a lovely view of boats, volcano, swimming pool. We even saw the whale boats ( replicas of the Azorean whale boats) being towed by the spotter boat to the next town over. Room was nice and clean, nice porch to... More

This pousada is built is a 16-th century fort and has terrific views of the harbour and Pico island. Rooms with a view have, well, that view, and it is their biggest asset (they are nicely furnished, but small). Service is inconsistent - some receptionists are very helpful, others less. The restaurant seems always full, inexplicably, as it is overpriced... More

I have so much to say about the Pousada da Horta. First - I made a terrible mistake when booking my reservations online with this Pousada. I mistakenly booked the reservation 3 days in advance of my planned arrival. So, as is the policy of the hotel, they charged my credit card as a "no show". When I arrived (I... More

We are a couple in our early 30s who stayed here for six nights. From what we saw I think this is definitely the best hotel in Horta! The hotel is in an old fort with a beautiful pool area and garden looking out over the busy Horta harbour. The rooms were lovely, clean and modern and we had a... More

The views across the water of Pico and the harbour were lovely. The pool and grounds of the hotel surrounded by the old fortress walls gave this place a special character to remember. The breakfasts which came with the Pousada package were comprehensive and delicious. The rooms were good, especially with the balcony, and the service friendly and helpful. The... More

We stayed in a room with a view of Pico island and we recommend it. Beautiful! The room was very confortable and with a great balcony. Though we were always out for the day it was really nice to enjoy it when returning. It was our first stop in Azores, first days on vacation, and it was perfect to disconnect... More

Standard rooms do not include a sea view; you have to request a superior room for a view. The view is quite nice - you see the neighboring island of Pico, and the mountain of the same name - Portugal's highest point. Service in the restaurant is not fantastic. Front desk service was good. Rates were a bit higher than... More

Stayed a week in the room 116 on 1st floor. This "pousada" was a desilusion as I am familiar with the high standards of the "historical" pousada wich is the higer level in portuguese hotels (similar to a 5 star). I don't know other hotels in Faial island but this one is rated as number 1 (the best) and if... More
