It was right in the middle of the city. You could walk to half a dozen restaurants. One restaurant across the street another next-door.

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.

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.
The hotel is a resort composed of a main building and small buildings. We stayed in the main building, our room was good, with a small balcony. The location is perfect, it is on a small hill right on top of Horta main street, you can easily walk down and in 2 minutes you are on the main street. The swimming pool and the restaurant have an amazing view over Pico island and the volcano. We had dinner in the restaurant with that view, but also the food was really good. Definitely recommended to have dinner there.
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.
The room was clean and tidy, with a daily room cleaning service. The grounds were very nice as well; we really enjoyed the pool and gardens. A sauna and Turkish bath were available as well, but we didn't use these services. We were also able to get some laundry done for a small fee, which we really appreciated. It was easy to get in and out of the hotel with the room and gate keys provided.
It was an amazing place with a great view and the hotel was clean and nice to stay upto 4 beds but we were only 3 ppl and it was equipped with everything we needed like for the kitchen, we had oven, microwave oven, stove, cups, plates dining area, etc. More than expected. Nice shower area as well. Really loved the whole vibe around me. The açores islands are amazing and worth a visit.
We loved casa da Japoneira! Such a beautiful place with an amazing garden. And the staff were amazing! We accidentally left something in the room and they were so kind helping us get it back. During our stay we used the bikes. It was a nice ride along the beautiful south coast, to Horta. (A bit up and down but doable). We would definitely stay here again!
The quiet location, just two minutes walk from the beach and close to bars and restaurants.
The terrace outside with a view. The beautiful garden
The hospitality details like the welcome beers and water, and some coffee pods available for the expresso machine.
The soft comfortable beds.
We enjoyed our stay in this double room and we recommend.
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.
I stayed there for the second time and hope to return in the future. The apartment has everything you need and is very clean. The location is excellent - two minutes to the beautiful Porto Pim beach. There's a nice bakery around the corner and a local snack bar. Peace and quiet. Close to the marina of Horta and the Entre Montes touristic trail.
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!
The second of our Azorean honeymoon accommodations - Hotel do Canal is wonderful, with an ideal location, friendly and helpful staff, amazing and comfortable rooms and their preparation of our honeymoon surprise in our room was lovely and much appreciated! A must stay for anyone staying in Horta!
Cosy, well equipped appartment in a very good location close to the sea promenade, marina and ferry to Pico. Friendly host. The interiors were fine as well as the kitchen. Free car park nearby. Padaria, minimarket and some restaurants within 3 minutes walk. Best solution for Horta stay.
Everything, convenient location, just a few minutes from the Ferry terminal and close to the center of Horta. The host, Paula, is super nice and helpful for whatever is needed. If I was you reading this, I would definitely book asap and enjoy the stay as much as possible!!
Very clean classic hotel with large rooms. Nice garden with swimming pool. Other activities such as billard, sauna, board games included. Breakfast was good. Kids welcomed
Close from the botanical garden and on the way to the caldeira.
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!
Centrally located in Horta, a walk away from harbor and ferry terminal. Great views to Pico.
Most comfortable beds of the Açores.
No need to rent a car, you can take a guided Taxi Tour for 80 €
It was a wonderful time in this amazing Villa. I had the most amazing breakfast of the Azores prepared by Ivette. A breathtaking view from the room. I wist all the best to Ivett for the future!
Enjoyed my stay at Kosmos...Location is optimal for exploring Horta...The View from the Apartment is Amazing...The Studio had everything I needed...The Staff are friendly and helpful!
Charming house with a lovely garden in a quiet neighborhood. Great resting sleep, tasty breakfast. Thoughtful hosts that care about their guests. Will come again for sure.
