The location of this guesthouse is right center in the city, and it has both a reading lounge, pantry and balcony for those looking to relax or work. The staff were also friendly. We had luck in having the available room at the highest floor, overlooking the marina and Pico. Definitely would return and stay here again.

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.

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.
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.
Great apartment having everything you need for your stay. After hotels it was nice being able to cook for myself when I wanted and have access to a kettle!
Huge bed...king size and super comfortable, except for...(see below).
Great bathroom.
Quiet location.
Well equipped kitchen.
Comfortable sofa.
Extra blankets.
Radiators of needed.
Fans in room.
Lovely garden space and terrace so you can sit out.
Staff were excellent, really helpful and very communicative.
Very clean
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
A lovely home with many little supplies like coffee, sugar, napkins which are often not available. Marie was very helpful and the view over Horta was great. Highly recommend. A little hard to find, might want to use a nav app in addition to info provided.
The best place to stay not only in Horta but in the entire Azores, trust me on this one. Super nice, comfortable, modern, extremely clean... Great central location. Staff is wonderful, helpful, kind and friendly. I'm definitely returning soon!
Fantastic view to Horta marina and an incredible large terrace to our room. Breakfast was more than good and also nice a la carte restaurant. Close to the bars and restaurants but also quiet and relaxing.
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.
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 hotel has a great view of Pico Mountain from the terrace and the rooms which was a great bonus. It has spacious rooms with small balconies. Breakfast was really good.
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!
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.
