The room has little natural ventilation, there is always a musty odor. They must make some reformulations in order to solve this problem. Also in terms of breakfast service, they should use tablecloths on the tables and not serve breakfast directly on the glass tables.

Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits en famille dans cet établissement Nous avions une suite familiale. Elles sont de grande taille mais le mobilier et la salle de bain sont vieillots et nécessiteraient une rénovation (il y avait d'ailleurs une fuite des toilettes) La proprete est améliorable. Il y avait un insecte mort dans le salon de la chambre, il y est resté tout le séjour ! De plus le tapis de la chambre était tâché et d'une propreté douteuse. Enfin, une mauvaise odeur régnait dans la chambre. Même si le petit déjeuner est vraiment excellent avec une mise à l'honneur des produits locaux et un personnel très serviable et à l'écoute et sue le bâtiment est historique, cela ne vaut clairement pas le prix payé au mois de juillet !

Unser Aufenthalt in der Pousada war einfach wunderbar. Das Personal war außergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit – wir fühlten uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Frühstück: eine große Auswahl an frischen, regionalen Produkten, liebevoll angerichtet und mit Blick auf die Natur serviert. Die Zimmer waren sauber, gemütlich und sehr ruhig. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

È un bel locale all'interno di una fortezza del XVI secolo sul porto di Horta. Il servizio buono, il cibo ottimo, i prezzi di fascia medio alta. Noi abbiamo solo pranzato, ma le camere, solo doppie, affacciano sul porto ed hanno vista Pico. C'è anche la piscina.

Excelente experiencia na Pousada da Horta. O pequeno almoço foi o ponto alto da minha estadia, fresco e muito variado. O Sr. Fernado Pacheco foi sempre muito cuidadoso com uma simpatia excecional. Depois desta viagem fico cheio de vontade de regressar.

Great stay in Pousada da Horta, the staff are great, very professional The reception gives you a lot of information, if you are planning to go to another island or maybe to have a tour around Faial, they simply make it happen easily. I also used the restaurant. They have a breakfast with a lot of options, the staff is very nice, and I also had lunch, the food was very good and well served. That was a wonderfull stay!!!!

We loved our stay here. The reception staff are so helpful. They put us in touch with a lovely family (Miriam and family) who provide a wonderful taxi service all over the island. They are the best place to go for any advice. Food was very good. But the best part was the amazing views from the dining room which looks out across the swimming pool to Mt Pico. The clouds change by the minute and the sunsets are fabulous. Take your camera. You can sit inside or out. You get the same view from rooms facing the harbour. Highly recommended!
