Definitely exceeded my expectations. Inexpensive but very good. Large room with queen bed and sofa. Good sized bathroom. Good wifi. Opposite the marina and in easy walking distance of most of the town. Very clean. I was concerned about street noise but everything quietened down early and there was no noise that I noticed during the night.
Porto Pim Guest House is a recently renovated guest house in Horta where guests can make the most of its barbecue facilities and shared lounge.

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.

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.
The house is located on a hill and has a beautiful small garden, overlooking the city of Horta and the ocean. It is big and spacious, has all the amenities one might need for a pleasant stay and gives a home feeling. The host Marco was very nice and helpful and helped us even with small inconveniences. I definitely recommend the Family house to anyone who would like to feel the hospitality and comfort of staying in an island in the Atlantic Ocean.
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.
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.
Everything was perfect, the lady at the reception which was very sweet, the super modern and comfortable room, the common and fully equipped kitchen and living room with an amazing view on Porto Pim and Monte da Guia, the nice touch with the free coffee all day long.
Really, the best stay in the Azores for us ! With a great price for value.
A very nice resort just at the harbor and Horta center for great money. Everything in walking distance. No problem with parking in May. Outstanding breakfast. Nice swimming pools, jacuzzi, sauna, etc. We stayed in one of the villas there. The room was very comfortable with a small terrace.
The apartment’s location couldn’t be better. It was near cafés, restaurants, and all the places you might visit in Horta. You would only need a rental car if visiting outside Horta. However, there’s a good bus system. The host was available and flexible. We plan to stay there again.
Staff was great, very professional and welcoming. The rooms were quite big, modern (with AC) and clean. Shared rooms (kitchen, living room) were also very nice. The hotel has a modern look and is located only 5mns away from the city center (walking). You can see the ocean.
The hotel is located inside Horta fortress, an amazing location. It is right in the city centre on the main street overlooking the harbour and Pico island with the volcano. It has a nice swimming pool with the same view. There are some parking spots in front of the hotel.
- flat was really comftprtable and brand new, it looks in reality even better than on pictures
- owner is really nice and it was very easy to contact him
- flat was really clean
- 15 mins walk to port in Horta, there is big shop close by
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!
The view from the balcony of our room was stunning! The staff at the hotel was extremely friendly and even helped finding restaurants and booking them. Will be back
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.
