The Hotel Pousada da Horta is located on the beautiful island of Faial in the centre group of islands in the Azores, Portugal.

The island is 21 kilometres long and 14 kilometers wide and there are good views of the other islands of the central group.

The position of Faial made the Port of Horta a secure stop during the days when ships were under sail.

This contributed to the growth of the island's economy as the demand for agriculture, fishing and commerce increased. 

The Pousada of Horta is situated in a 16th Century fortress built over Horta Bay and, in 1947 it was classified as a National Monument.

From the Horta Pousada there are magnificent views to the famous sailing harbour and its yachts and across to the magnificent Pico Island.

The Pousada has 8 standard bedrooms, 18 superior rooms and 2 suites, all with private bathroom, air conditioning, Cable television, hair dryer, safe, bathing gowns, telephone, internet (for PC) and minibar.

Facilities include air conditioning, lift, bar, restaurant, free wireless internet access in the public areas, family games, facilities for disabled persons and swimming pool.

The Horta Pousada of Portugal also has conference facilities.

Dining in Portugal is usually very good. This restaurant offers international cuisine and a variety of local and regional specialities.

Popular with tourists are boat trips to watch dolphins and whales and also a visit to the "lunar" landscape of the Capelinhos Island which emerged from the Atlantic in 1957.

On Faial is the Caldeira do Cabeco Gordo which is a crater of volcanic origin with a diameter of nearly 1450 metres and a depth reaching 400 metres.

A very popular wine is produced on the Island of Pico from grapes grown in the volcanic soil. The distinctive flavour made it popular with the Russian Tzars.

Other activities on the island include horse riding, scuba diving, country walks and bicycle tours.

The airport of Horta is approximately 10 kms from the Pousada.

Ein sehr schönes gepflegtes Hotel mit toller Aussicht auf den Hafen und die Nachbarinsel Pico. Die Lage ist perfekt. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Preis für die Pousada ist in der Nebensaison akzeptabel. Können das Hotel sehr empfehlen

A fine hotel,I found it a pity that I had a room at the side of the hotel with no view of the sea, as the hotel was absolutely not full I found this a bit strange. The resturant staff were excellent. I had the feeling that there were not so many guests and that the reception staff were a bit bored . However it was a good place to stay for the start of my holiday in the Azores although expensive. maybe an idea to introduce better packages especially for the over 60,s as we seem to be the group travelleling a lot.
