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.
Nice apartments located near Horta. The apartment that we had was very spacious, had its own kitchen and a good view over the ocean.
Rui (The host) welcomed us, showed us around and also gave us some great tips for places to visit around the island and for places to eat.
Breakfast is left in the room the day before, but with the toaster that is available, the bread was still fine to eat. Private parking to the side of the house also has enough space for all guests cars.
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.
The house is beautiful, with a huge garden, terrace, big common kitchen and positioned near Horta.
But especially the owners are amazing people, very professional and super kind. Especially Afonso was amazing with us and helped us a lot solving some problems with extreme kindness and efficiency. If we can come back to Faial, we’ll definitely stay with them again. Thanks for everything!
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.
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.
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 hotel is in a strategic position at Horta.
Highlight of the structure is the swimming pool with a panoramic view on Pico volcano, very nice during sunrise and Sunset.
Everything in the hotel works well, especially the rich and diversified breakfast.
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 €
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!
Amazing view over Horta and Pico. Half about walk to the city at the Marina and 5 minute taxi drive. Yvette is very friendly and adaptive to your needs. We had a wonderful stay here.
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.
The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel was located near the harbor and many restaurants. The breakfast at the ground floor cafe was convenient and tasty.
