About this property

A small cottage in the center of Horta, Faial Island, Azores

Experience a rural, quiet and relaxed atmosphere while being in Horta city centre. Our small self-catering traditional house was totally rebuilt in 2011 keeping its rustic appearance but improving its comfort. It has 2 queen size beds in the upper mezannine, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, and living. It is also equipped with a washing machine, cable TV and free wireless internet. Heating is provided by an old style wood burning stove. There are two outdoor areas: the entry garden and another seating area with a beautiful view of the Ribeira da Conceição. 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.

    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.

    February in Horta

    The property was just as described, close to the town centre and beach. Very quiet and genuine Azorean feel with thick stone walls. Within easy walking distance of bakery, veg market and other town facilities. Will come again. We were probably very lucky with the weather at this time of year but it was a great holiday.

    Cutest cottage in the 4 we stayed in during our 7 weeks in azores. It is very small and efficient, cute cute cute and very unique. It is tiny, but feels big because of the high ceilings. Airflow across the cottage works well, because you can open all the doors and windows during the day. In the evening it is best to have the lights off. The location of the house is difficult to find…it runs along the river, with a very tiny alley, parallel off the end of the bridge. We did not try to drive down it. If you go be sure to pick up coffee, tea and grocery’s before you arrive. It is a good walk, partially uphill to get there. That being said it is quiet, peaceful and serene…along a tiny creek in the wet season. Cozy reading spots and books inside …or sunny/shady spots outside.Outside there is a garden area with a table chairs, outdoor fireplaces. Compared to the other 4 places this was the quietest, even though it’s central city…easy to walk to local places, restaurants and boardwalk and ferry.

    La casa è molto caratteristica e ben ristrutturata, pulita e in ordine. Si è rivelata, però, estremamente ridotta in ogni spazio. La sconsigliamo per più di due persone perché, nel soppalco molto, molto basso non c'è spazio e bisogna aprire le valige al piano terra non lasciando altro spazio per muoversi. Il bagno ha un lavandino piccolissimo. Il ruscello dietro casa a volte emana odori non piacevoli.

    Olá Maria, Infelizmente, neste ano, a Ribeira da Conceição recebeu uma alga invasora que ficou retida debaixo da pequena ponte. A Camara Municipal da Horta está a trabalhar para resolver esse problema. Obrigado

    Casa muy amplia y acogedora, cuidada. La ubicacion está muy bien ya que puedes aparcar sin problema en los alrededores y puedes llegar al centro en unos 8 min andando. Al entrar dispones de una pequeña terraza donde comer en el exterior. En la planta de abajo hay un salon, la cocina y el baño. En la parte de arriba estan las dos camas de matrimonio. Esta bastante limpia y equipada. Hay mosquiteras en todas las ventanas pero aun asi, siempre entra algun insecto. Nos ha gustado mucho.

    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.

    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.

    We had a wonderful time in "Adega do Mirante" and really enjoied our stay. Everything we needed was there. The little garden was perfect for dinner or barbecue. Patricia and her husbund provided us with lots of information about the surroundings end even brought us bicicles. Everything was perfect. We really recommend this accomodation to other guests. To stay in "Adega do Mirante" was a very nice experience and a great pleasure. Thank you so much for everything!

    Casa de fantasia

    Ficámos 4 dias e gostámos muito. Para além de uma localização muito favorável acessível a pé do centro da cidade, o local garante a privacidade de quem quer ter umas férias verdadeiramente relaxantes. O acesso à zona de dormir exige alguma perícia perfeitamente ao alcance de qualquer jovem vaidoso de sessenta anos. Depois é só dormir nas nuvens, pois o silencio é absoluto, apenas entrecortado pelo sino que nos desperta pela manhã. Para aqueles que gostam de peixe grelhado como nós, é só ir ao peixe e aproveitar o providencial barbecue para um jantar opíparo. Nunca a expressão 'small is beautiful' fez tanto sentido. Marta, Dulce, Joaquim
