Pousada Forte da Horta – Historic Hotel

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!

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!!!!

Superb staff, plentiful high quality breakfast, unbeatable location.

Very good location in the middle of the town and Harbour. The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and had a great view towards Pico and the Harbour. You felt the old Pousada but in a positive way, combined with airconditioned rooms and an outdoor pool Wochenende enjoyed.

Comfortable hotel. Restaurant just ok

After a sailing trip from Nova Scotia to Faial the crew and their wives reunited in the Poussada do Fort in Horta. Very nice place to recuperate! Nice hotel, good pool, nice view but only from a superior room!
