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.

Thelma and Carlos were very helpful
Thelma and Carlos were very helpful
The accommodation was spotless. Thelma brought us fruit and tomatoes from her garden. The room was large and kitchen well equipped. There was a lot of rain when we visited and it was cold but Thelma provided thick blankets.
Casa BuonVento was a wonderful find in Horta, Faial. Elena and Jerry are the most amazing hosts and did everything possible to make my stay with them perfect! The guest house is well appointed and they have thought of everything in setting up the kitchen facilities and rooms for their guests. 🙏
The location is great and within walking distance to the center, restaurants and marina. The room was quiet and very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying at Casa BuonVento when visiting this beautiful town of Horta. ❣️❣️
We had room nr 5 at the front of the building. As H18 is a little up the hill, we had gorgeous views of Horta and the ocean and the island opposite Pico and its majestic mountain.
H18 is modern and fresh. Our room was spacious and bright and very quiet at night, with a tiny terrace with sea views. Bed was good and shower strong.
Breakfast was nice in the morning, with good nespresso coffee and a selection of bread, cheese and ham, marmelade and yoghurt.
Parking is easy in front of the building.
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.
Beautiful 3-bedroom apartment in an exciting location with views of Porto Pim Bay. Convenient to walk into town and to various activities and restaurants. Comfortable living space and bedrooms. Excellent kitchen and bathrooms. Very responsive booking office and onsite staff, always proactive and ready to help with anything we needed. Wifi and TV were great. We loved our stay and highly recommend this apartment.
Very good location in center of Horta.
Swimming pool area is perfect for refreshing/relaxing/sunbathing.
The staff (reception, housekeeping, breakfast) is very helpful.
Very nice view on the harbor and Pico mountain from the shaded large balcony.
Parking places just in front of the hotel. Not a lot and not 'reserved' for guests, but we were always lucky to find an available place.
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
The staff is really helpful and nice. In kitchen there is always some cake, fruits, tea and some spices. Everything is clean and fresh. We really enjoyed the stay. The big plus is air-conditioning in rooms, as we were during winter time, we could heat the room, as normally it is too cold in houses in winter on Azores.
The view from window is georgous!
A very nice resort just at the harbor and Horta center for great money. Everything in walking distance. No problem with parking in May. Outstanding breakfast. Nice swimming pools, jacuzzi, sauna, etc. We stayed in one of the villas there. The room was very comfortable with a small terrace.
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.
Beautiful home with everything you would need for a stay. Felipa was so helpful and wonderful with any questions. The home was warm and was in a very good location close to town and restaurants!! The garden view was beautiful to watch the sunset and sunrise :)
The house is tidy and clean. Very close to horta. The host left in the house a number of tour guides and books with tips and ideas to visit the island. There is plenty of space in the house. The kitchen has everything you might need. Good job Tiago!
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.
This hotel is absolutely excellent. Architecture and design is great. I enjoyed my time there very much. The staff is friendly and cooperative and does always its best to make the vacationers happy.
