An outside barbecue and an inside traditional wood-fired oven are available for using. Being a small house with an interior area of 40 m2 and 70 m2 outdoor area, has all the amenities necessary for a pleasant stay. While you have the feeling of being away from everything, the house is located in the city centre within walking distance from many convenient places: the vegetable and fish market, grocery stores, bakery store, a few coffee places and restaurants, the Faial theatre, the Alagoa park and the Conceição beach.

The price varies between € 60 in low season and € 75 in high season. For stays longer than 7 days, the eighth night is free, with a weekly cleaning included. We request a minimum stay of 3 nights.

Charming bungalow a 20 min walk from Horta Marina
We enjoyed our stay - It was very clean, charming with an outdoor courtyard where we enjoyed our morning coffee and dinner once or twice. One observation and one way it could have been better. The ladder to the beds is steep and whereas we didn't have any problem climbing UP the ladder - coming down! the ladder in the middle of the night in the dark - or in the morning is slightly dangerous. So, if you are young and fit and are OK with climbing ladders - this is a sweet place for you. Also, the bed areas in the loft do not have full headroom - so you have to duck when you're up in the sleeping loft area. The only real complaint is about the bath towels. They were old and stiff and an unfortunate color of grey. Nice, new, soft bath towels would be a great addition.

Staying in the boat house
The house is well equipped and the location excellent, although one must plan to walk 200 meters to reach the house which is on a peculiar road to deive. the host is suoer helpful and polite, the kitchen fully stocked.

Découverte d Horta
Séjour très agréable, Patricia s est rendue disponible. Il manquerait peut-être un ventilateur à l 'étage si je peux faire une suggestion.

Petite maison charmante à Horta
Jolie petite maison à proximité du centre ville d'Horta. Idéal pour profiter d'Horta et pour rayonner sur Faial. La maison a du cachet, mais est de taille modeste. Nous étions 4 dont 2 enfants (8 et 10), et on aurait pu se sentir à l'étroit si la météo nous avait obligés à rester à l'intérieur. Pas de problème par contre pour les couchages, même si l'escalier d'accès est pentu. A noter le passage très étroit pour accéder en voiture à la maison, mais ça passe! Pour les procédures d'arrivée puis de départ, nous avons facilement pu communiquer avec Patricia par téléphone ou message.

Kleines Ruheparadies
Herrliche Lage, weit ab vom Trubel! Gemütliches Ferienhaus mit guter Ausstattung in fantastischer Ruhe. Zentrum und Hafen sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und die Abende über dem grünen, trockenem Bachbett genossen.

adresse de charme à recommander à Horta
Une location qui dépasse en qualité de prestations ce que l'annonce promet; un accueil en français très sympathique; une proximité du centre ville très appréciable mais au calme; bref que des compliments à faire et un hébergement à recommander sans aucune hésitation.

Schönes kleine Haus
Ein hübsches kleines Häuschen im gemütlichen Innenhof in guter Lage von Horta, alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Lediglich die "Hühnerleiter" zum Schlafbereich könnte für ältere Leute Probleme bereiten. Vermieterin Patricia spricht fließend Englisch. ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Accogliente, pulita e ben dotata.
Soggiorno piacevole in un contesto caratteristico. La casa è sicuramente consigliata, silenziosa ed accogliente. Manca purtroppo la lavastoviglie, ma per il resto è ben fornita, collegamento internet Wi-Fi compreso.

Gemütliches Häuschen am Bach
lauschiges, gemütliches Häuschen, kompltett eingerichtet, geschickt ausgebaut, sehr zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegen. Zufahrt nur mit Kleinwagen möglich. Patricia ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, hat sich sehr um uns gekümmert, ohne aufdringlich zu sein.
