The location of this guesthouse is right center in the city, and it has both a reading lounge, pantry and balcony for those looking to relax or work. The staff were also friendly. We had luck in having the available room at the highest floor, overlooking the marina and Pico. Definitely would return and stay here again.

Very nicely designed house. Has everything you need if you want to cook. There is a little bakery around the corner. Kayaks to use if you wish. Tiago walked us to the accommodation from the Naturalist base and gave us loads of recommendations for things to do in Faial which was extremely helpful and allowed us to get the most from our short stay.

I loved everything about my stay. Lucia and her husband are the sweetest people ever with the biggest hearts. Lucia shared a wealth of information regarding the island, the history, and the wonderful shops and restaurants in town. I had eggs from their chickens, the best honey ever from their bees, fresh bread daily, various fruits from their garden, and so much more. The house is so beautiful, comfy, and cozy.. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to hike and explore the countryside as I planned because of the extensive rain, so I was so glad I was in a place I truly enjoyed being. I wish I had booked more days there but will definitely return.

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.

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.
This is a great property up on a hill near everything in Horta. I had a spacious room on the second floor with a lovely balcony and view of the harbor. I was going to pay 40 euros for a sea view of Pico island but I'm glad I didn't. It was overcast and Pico wasn't visible at all during the three days I stayed. The hotel grounds are spacious and parking was free. The location is amazing. Breakfast was included and I loved the selection of food. The hotel staff were nice.
I cook. I cook tasty (It is not just my opinion:). Usually I do not like hotel meal. I am a little evil snob when I speak about meals. But... Steaks, burgers, sandwiches, salads - absolutely all I ate was great. Yes there is more snacks than meals but it is tasty. Big confortable apartments, amazing ocean view, superb Owner (with the capital letter), a lot of scenic views near, about 20 min to Horta on foot. It is very local place. Islanders love it, and I can see why.
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 really recommend to stay at Internacional Azores Boutique when in Horta. Our stay in this hotel exeeded our expectations. Room had a great view, small balcony opening to the bay comfortable bed and fancy atmosphere. And the price for our stay was really reasonable. Plus it was one of the rare accommodations where you don't feel the humidity inside the room, which was superb. Only good words!
This b&b is lovely. It has a beautiful garden and has one of the best views of the island, thanks to its location up on a hill overlooking the island Pico and Horta. It also has a wonderful host, Yvette who will welcome you warmly ! Also, breakfast is great and abundant. We really loved the stay here and recommend it for a perfect experience in Faial.
The location of this hotel could not be beat! Right on the main street in Horta with easy access to cafes and restaurants. Overall we enjoyed the room, it was very spacious with great windows to let in natural light. I'd recommend booking the bed and breakfast package because the breakfast was fairly substantial and kept us full until the afternoon.
This is a great place to stay in Horta. The location couldn't be more central to all the nice places. Always found parking right under the apartment. The check-in process was smooth. The room was spacious and stocked. I would highly recommend asking for a sea facing room on the 2nd level from which you can see the ocean and Pico on a clear day.
Elena and Gerry are amazing hosts. They are very friendly and gave us so many good tips about food, places to visit, experiences and more. They also helped us to find the best time for whale and dolphin watching and made the reservation for us. AMAZING. thank you so much for hosting us. It was the best stay in Azores!
There was fresh fruit in our room, the staff were very kind and hospitable in every aspect! As we did not like the regular filter coffee at breakfast, so we were served quality coffee with no additional change. We stayed in the hotel for just one night but would like to come back for longer.
The best place to stay not only in Horta but in the entire Azores, trust me on this one. Super nice, comfortable, modern, extremely clean... Great central location. Staff is wonderful, helpful, kind and friendly. I'm definitely returning soon!
Very unique, lovely and comfortable stay with incredibly friendly hosts! Rooms are nicely decorated, well maintained and very clean. Location is in very short walking distance to everything you want to visit in Horta.
Perfect location - you can reach all you need in Horta walking, appartment is well equiped and Paul was always helpful in case of any problem or question. The house has small garden and it is on quiet spot.
The rooms were modern and spacious. The whole facility has a maritime charm about it. There are excellent restaurants very close to the hotel and downtown Horta is an easy few minute walk.
This hotel is right on the harbour in a great location. Everything about it was good for us. Great breakfast, comfortable room and pleasant staff. Secure parking.
