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

Great location - you can walk to the ferry in minutes. Room was clean - bed was comfortable. There is a living room which I did not notice right away - with a computer for internet access with a 30 minute password you get from the desk. I had a room without a balcony - but it had a King... More

We spent 4 nights here and it's the nicest place to stay in Horta. The location is right in the centre by the famous marina. It really is worth getting a first floor room with a view, it's a stunning outloook over the walls of the old fort to the marina and beyond to Pico. These rooms have a terrace... More

We opted for a sea-view room, paying a bit more. Given the hotel layout, it was definitely worth it. The hotel is well located, very central, great for walking to/from the boat harbor, restaurants & car rental agencies. When we checked in, it was very humid (typical I think) and also low-season. The first room they gave us had not... More

Very central location; staff were very helpful but sometimes a bit elusive in the afternoon; Breakfast was ample and good; dinner was ok but not as good as we've had elsewhere. As we took advantage of a "promotion offer" we had good value for what we paid. More

We have just returned from a trip to the Azores and had a wonderful four-day stay at this pousada. The location is fantastic, particularly if you choose a room with a view of Pico. As previously described, the pousada is in an old fort at the mouth of the harbor and is conveniently located for walking around town and catching... More

from the twenty minutes it took to rouse the receptionist to the unavailable amenities, this was Pousadas do Portugal at their most typical and we wouldn't have changed a thing (except perhaps the price, but a sneaky glance at the bookings sheet showed that we had paid more than twice some of the others there that night, we booked through...
