Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Horta

We lucked out in renting Roberto's home as a base to explore Pico Island - gorgeous private spacious setting, not too far from restaurants and trailheads, with sounds of the waves and the sheep in the background. We hope to return!

Absolutely amazing place for a couple of days of relaxation. The top balcony is great as you can see the sun set and enjoy the sea view while having dinner. Comfortable bed and plenty of pillows and even gives you coffee capsules and a water just in case. 5 stars

We very much enjoyed our stay in this Airbnb above Madelena. It was a great choice to stay on the outskirts. Stunning view from the house: lovely to spend time outside with a book or just watching the sun set over the ocean and island. The house itself is very comfortable and had everything we needed.

This vacation home was exactly as described. It was clean, organized and comfortable, with additional amenities to enjoy your stay. The hosts went above board providing delicious food, coffee and water when you first arrive. An addition, there’s a pool, sauna and beautiful grounds to explore. It was one of my all time favorite Airbnb’s. Beautiful hosts, lovely accommodations, and incredible location.

We felt incredibly lucky to stumble upon (& get to book) Jorge’s summer family home: there is not a better view of Horta in the entire area! We loved having our mornings & evenings overlooking the gorgeous bay & town. There were many evenings we had dinner at home instead of out because we knew we could not beat that front yard! We never met Jorge, but he was so warm & responsive we felt like we knew him. His recommendations were terrific (do go to Peter’s Sport Cafe- the food is excellent & the Gin & Tonic, per their & Jorge’s recommendation, is so smooth & to die for ((& we aren’t even cocktail people)). The house was great; we only had one minor issue, & Marco & Carla, the caretakers, (who are such kind, wonderful people), handled it perfectly. We loved Faial so much! Definitely hike the volcanoes, & go to O Moro Quijeria for the best cheese in the world (seriously!). We certainly recommend this house to others & plan to rent it again ourselves :)

We spent some very nice days in Zilda's wonderful big house. The location is fantastic with a wide view over the sea. On the large terrace you have sun all day. The house is very tastefully decorated and very clean, in the kitchen everything you need was available. In the area there are many very beautiful landscapes and a very nice beach for swimming, the most beautiful on the island, as we find, the Praia da Faja. Having a car is, however, a prerequisite. In summary, Zilda's house is highly recommended.

Loved Madalena's place! It was about a 20minute walk to meet-up spots for the tours we had scheduled. The place itself is very spacious and well appointed! Madalena was very friendly. Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic stay - great location, great communication with Beatriz, beautiful apartment! Beatriz stocked the fridge, and the lovely chocolates and local wine were a lovely personal touch. The apartment has everything that you will need. Parking outside and a great porch to sit out on in the evenings. Beatriz also made many restaurant recommendations and couldn't help enough. Would definitely return - thank you, Beatriz!

Very spacious and well-equipped accommodation in Madalena. The hosts are very nice, welcoming, flexible. The view from the terrace of the sea and Faial Island is exceptional!

Very helpful and responsive hosts, aided us booking taxi and airport transport. Lovely place in Madalena

Very good hospitality from Paula and Joao who were accommodating regarding our arrival time and helped us to collect our vehicle. The house is in a good location, accessible by car from the port of Madalena and close to the airport. We had a lovely stay! I would highly recommend it.

great location and friendly hosts

This place is magical! We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the great views, the cozy apartment and the nature surrounding the place. Can highly recommend - we would always come back.

Andreia was a great host and gave me many useful information for my stay in Pico. The location is a perfect starting point to explore the island.

Very nice, spacious accommodation with an optimal living room, bright and very functional. We also highlight the ease of check-in and check-out, and the friendliness of the host.

Ola Agostina! We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious, and perfectly located—just a short walk from everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the accommodation looked exactly like the photos, if not better. Agostinha Maria was a truly exceptional host—kind, generous, and attentive. She welcomed us with everything we could possibly need for breakfast: fresh eggs, bread, jam, butter, fruit, cheese, coffee, and even two bottles of wine as a delightful bonus. Her thoughtful hospitality made us feel right at home. She also shared fantastic local dining recommendations and gave us access to a fully equipped summer kitchen, which added to the charm of our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed getaway. Thank you, Agostinha Maria, for everything—you made our stay unforgettable!

Perfect location in the heart of Horta. Easy to walk to the marina and all the restaurants and bars. The apartment was spotless and extremely spacious. Host is very responsive and extremely helpful. Excellent home for your visit to Faial.

Lovely, modern and well equipped apartment in the heart of Horta. Great, very comfortable place to stay.

Eunice was an amazing host. She was always responsive, helpful and very kind. We had issues with the lock box and within 10 min she had the matter solved. We would definitely recommend Eunice as a host!

Thanks for a lovely stay in Madelana. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. The garden was a big bonus. Easy to walk to restaurants in town and very close to ferry terminal if you’re travelling to or from Faial.

Great stay on Failal! The accommodation has everything you need, it is clean and is nicely located in ‘Varadouro‘; you can even walk to the natural pool by the sea. The host will give you a lot of information and tips and is easily accessible! Recommended!!

We had a great stay on Pico in Paula’s apartment. It is modern, well equipped and free parking on the street in front of it always available. The communication with Paula was convenient and the self check in worked smoothly.

Stunning place in Pico. I think the best in terms of location (beautiful house on the ocean where you can enjoy sunset and sunrise). Very comfortable flats with everything at your disposal. Location is also perfect to visit the island. But the most important thing is the kindness of Ines and her mother Paula, two incredible hosts that will make you feel at home ❤️
