Azoris Faial Garden – Resort Hotel is situated in parkland on the edge of the historical city of Horta. It features indoor and outdoor pools and stunning views over the marina and Mount Pico.
Set in a 16th century fortress overlooking Horta Bay and Pico island, this Pousada hotel features a swimming pool and regional restaurant. Most of the air-conditioned rooms have views of the marina.

We first had a normal room, but these were really a bit small. For 50 Euro a night extra we got a suite, which is like an apartment and has a separate bedroom and a big balcony. You have a spectacular view on mount Pico and the harbour. The staff are very nice, the building is an old fort and the entire feeling is one of a Spanish Parador. To be honest, I believe this is one of the few luxury hotels on Faial (but I did not visit all the others:)). When you leave, there are plenty restaurants and bars in walking distance. The restaurant of the hotel is also very good, but the menu is very very short and did not change during our stay. We got a later check out without trouble.
Located in the old Azorean town of Horta, the newly-renovated Hotel Horta offers views of Pico Island. It features rooms with balconies, a large garden and an outdoor pool.

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.
Excellent twin with an added sofa, with top-quality amentities, service-minded staff, among other things contacting you proactively to organize check-in if there's a risk you may arrive later than front desk operating times. Brochures and leaflets aplenty at the front desk for information on Horta and Faial. Good breakfast, although coffee was sometimes a bit short in supply. All in all a property that makes you feel at home at once.
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.
The view from our room was amazing! Plenty of windows to see Pico mountain, the ocean and the next door horse
Self made breakfast in peace and decent coffee in fully equipped kitchen
Size of the apartment: probably bigger than my own
Private parking and close enough to Horta center
Restaurant in situ but we didn’t try it out
Really REALLY good value for money
Very nice hotel just in the center of Horta. Walking distance to all important places.
Nice and well equipped room with perfect view, very comfy bed and big bathroom.
Wellness center 10-22 free for guests.
Very good breakfast. They prepared a surprise for us on our honeymoon, thanks for it :)
The size of the rooms and layout of the apartment made it so everyone could have quiet when they needed it. The apartment was well equipped and the location made our stay extra special. The outdoor patio and garden gave us a place to relax when at home, but still be outside.
Everything. Beautifully maintained hotel and surrounding grounds. Gracious and friendly staff. The location was great within walking distance to center of Horta. The view from the room looking across to Pico island was spectacular!
Filipa's and Vitório's place is a real gem! If you are looking for a little paradise in the Azores, stay with them! They are fantastic hosts and could not do a better job. We simply loved it and would come back any time!!!💛💛💛
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.
The property is very well located on the Horta port, with bars and restaurants around.
The property is fully equipped to cook.
The view on the port and the Pico mountain!
