What we loved: the view from our room, our balcony, the location, the staff, and the breakfast especially! I don’t know if the showers and sinks are as small in all the rooms as in ours, but if you are not a slender person, you may have difficulty with the shower. It was the smallest shower I have encountered. And the sink is very small and the counter very low. But I knew the bath size was on the small side and have no regrets. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff are wonderful, as is the breakfast. Would wish for coffee maker of some type in the room, but I adjusted :)
Staying at Pousada Forte da Horta—inside a centuries-old fortress—was an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for authenticity, this is it. The views of Pico are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is steeped in history and charm. The restaurant was a pleasant surprise: cozy, with standout service and a proper Portuguese meal that exceeded expectations. It’s a bit of a splurge, but absolutely worth it for the setting and experience.
Nice hotel with very good location near marina and restaurants. Our room was small, but clean. Breakfast is pretty good, but very small options for desserts and vegetables. WiFi is fast and stable. Hotel is pet friendly. It’s pity that there is no bathrobes and slippers. Sometimes we’ve heard noise from the hall.
