Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Faial Island

We felt completely comfortable in the accommodation. We didn't miss anything. The furnishings leave nothing to be desired, the communication was smooth and the view of the Pico and the Atlantic was simply breathtaking.

Laura’s Cottage is a fantastic base for exploring São Jorge Island. The house is thoughtfully designed, highly functional, and exceptionally well-equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The beds and mattresses were particularly noteworthy — very comfortable and clearly chosen with care. One of the highlights was waking up in the main bedroom to a breathtaking, unobstructed view of Pico Island (weather permitting) — a truly memorable experience. Germano was an outstanding host: proactive, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive. He reached out well in advance with a wealth of useful tips about what to see and do on the island, which made a real difference in shaping our trip. Throughout our stay, he remained attentive and helpful without ever being intrusive. I honestly couldn't recommend Laura’s Cottage more — it was a perfect stay in a magical place.

We had a pleasant stay at Liz’s house. We enjoyed the sunset and dining in the patio with views on Faial, Sao Jorge & the Pico mountain !

We had an amazing few day's at Jorge's place. Horta is a fantastic location and the house is nestled into the hillside with fabulous views over the town and harbour. Perfectly located just a few minutes walk into town. We loved to sit eating our breakfast in the morning enjoying the wonderful view and star gazing at night after enjoying the island of Faial. Not to be missed! Hiking around the Caldeira, Capelinhos & Whale watching were all highlights for us! We would love to come back for a few more days....maybe next year :)

Very nice Espaco. Second time we stayed in this space and not desiludio. 5*

There were six of us in Casa Comprida for a week. The house is a bit off the beaten track and therefore very quiet. From the airport, it was still only 20 minutes by car. The house was just right for our needs. There was a nice, impeccable equipment and we also had enough space for six. The view from the terrace is especially beautiful. Upon arrival, we noticed that the coffee maker was not working properly. Our host Zilda was always easily accessible and responded in no time. So, we had a new, working coffee maker the very next day. In addition, Zilda was very keen to ensure that we had a pleasant stay and always thought of our well-being. We were completely satisfied and can highly recommend the house, especially for a family vacation!

The house is very tastefully decorated. It really has everything. In the morning, enjoy a cup of tea in front of the door and the view of the sea. Breakfast overlooking the Pico and falling asleep with the sound of the sea. It is very clean. Anabela welcomed us in a very friendly way and took us to the city in the evening and showed us everything. We had wonderful Christmas days with a fireplace etc. It was lovely and quiet. The Cela Bar was closed.

Lovely home is a great spot close to the main town of Madelana and number of good walks nearby. The pool was perfect for a sunny day and many friendly cats! Wifi was a bit in and out but the whole island seems to be like that. Plenty to do offline anyway.

Nice personal welcome and farewell by Andreia. She was always available. Parking right outside the door. Apartment equipped with everything you need. We felt very comfortable.

Monica was flexible when we had to twice ask to change our dates. The apartment is intriguing, a mix between 150-year-old building, but with a very modern, spotless interior. The location is beyond brilliant, steps away from Porto Pim beach and restaurants and a three-minute walk from the marina and downtown. We'll be back next year!

great location and friendly hosts

There are three separate apartments in the accommodation house. All are in top condition, with a great view and well equipped. Unfortunately, the kitchen is missing the essentials like oil and spices, which would have been nice. Otherwise, there is little to complain about, especially if you like cats you enjoy the daily visit of the walkers. And of course the hot tub is not to be forgotten as a highlight 👏

It was our 3rd stay at Agostinhas place, very good location 2 mins from the main Street, very quiet, beautiful garden, nicely decorated flat with lots of history of Faial. The host family is fantastic all around. We will be back next year!

Beautiful ground-level apartment that had everything I needed for my 4-day stay. As nice as the accommodation is, the best thing about the place might be the host Florencio who lives upstairs. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet Florencio, as he was called out of town to help with a friend’s medical emergency. However, he was very attentive to making sure I had good directions, local information, etc. before I arrived and was easily reachable for my questions and responded quickly during my stay. Five stars for the place, ten stars for Florencio —- highly recommended !

Incredible view of Pico peak from the balcony. The interior is modern and cozy. We are happy that we stayed in these apartments, so I recommend

There were four of us in the apartment and everything was a perfect fit! Highly recommend!

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!!

If you’re searching for an apartment with a façade that blends harmoniously with the surrounding buildings, features a modern interior with updated appliances and appropriate furniture ideal for a family of four people, look no further. You’ll also have a communicative and flexible host (Paula).

Beautiful small apartment with good kitchen. Just outside of the city. Would have stayed longer if I had more vacation days.
