The hotel location is pleasantly quiet yet still in walking distance to the main waterfront promenade and restaurant area. The continental breakfast is wonderful and has many fresh seasonal fruits available. The staff are very welcoming. Nice pool area.
The boutique 4-star Hotel do Canal is located in Horta on Faial Island. It is just 328 feet from the beach and offers panoramic views of Pico Mountain and the bay.

From check-in to check-out everything went well for our stay. The staff was very friendly and addressed any issue we had very quickly (safe in room was finicky). The rooms are spacious and so comfortable. Ours had a harbor/ocean view. The beds are comfortable and luxurious. The bathrooms are roomy. (in our accommodation we had 1.5 bathrooms!). The buffet breakfast in the morning is enormous and delicious. All types of breakfast food.
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.

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.
Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Porto Pim Bay is located in Horta, just steps from the beach. All apartments include a flat-screen TV.

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.
Casinha Pim offers accommodations in Horta, one mile from Praia de Porto Pim and 1.4 miles from Praia da Conceição. This beachfront property offers access to a patio and free Wifi.

Don't just stay in Horta, specially if you have a rental car.
Purchase ferry tickets for yourself and for the car and visit two other islands of the archipelago - The Pico Island (ferry stop: Madalena) and the St. Jorge Island (ferry stop: Velas)
In Horta, visit the Caldeira do Cabeço Gordo, a volcano cone. If you're there on a clear sunny day, you can even hike around the volcano cone.
Visit the Capelinhos Volcano Museum - a real treat for geology lovers.
Our favorite beach was 'Praia do Almoxarife'

Horta offers so
Much.
Horta offers so
Much. It’s a great point to start exploring the island as well as the neighboring island. The harbor is very special to anyone with an interest of boats. The harbor full of yachts on their way across the Atlantic.
The town has several great restaurants and watering holes. The many streets are fun to explore and the neighborhood offers great hiking.
Peter Sport Cafe is a must as well as a stroll in n the marina watching all the paintings made by boaters heading home to Europe

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.
What a beautiful location with fantastic staff! We staid in the twin room Urze which was stylish and super comfortable. Located towards the back of the garden it was super quiet even though you are right in the center of Horta and only a few minutes walking distance from the ferry port. We would totally return and stay longer next time. There also is a great kitchen and laundry facilities available for all to share.
Vista do Canal is an extremely well presented apartment with every amenity that you could want. The elevated location gives outstanding views of Pico from the balcony, and the owners are the most accommodating and lovely people. The property is very close to a supermarket which is useful and the owners very generous welcome pack was fantastic.
I can perfectly understand why this is a 4 star-hotel: everything was just great, from the spacey rooms to the friendliness of the staff to the great breakfast ánd very good lunch and diner foodquality. I would go there again if I’d come back to Horta
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.
After staying in 2 hotels in Horta town before, this a bit more inland location struck me with its quiet rural atmosphere. Plenty of places to sit in the property's gardens - where the wifi is good !
