    Comfortable & clean stay in a converted beautiful old Fort in the Azores.

    Swimming pool was not warm yet, but it was only April. Bed mattress was quite firm, which is okay if you like a harder bed.

    Nicely converted old Fort overlooking the ocean. Bedroom was comfortable and clean. Beautiful views of ocean and over parts of the old city. Easy to get around and walk in town, but be ready for hills and uneven cobblestone. Staff were friendly and the buffet breakfast offered lots of variety and no shortage of food.

    Front desk staff is amazing. Breakfast buffet is yummy and plentiful. Loved our room and the whole ambiance of the hotel. Also, how often will I have the chance to sleep in a 16th century fort that's also a historical landmark?

    Due to the exposed location close to the sea we got a lot of wind and bad weather and couldn't open the windows. But it was October, and the hotel is not reponsible for the weather of course.

    Very unique location. Great staff.

    Some might think it’s dated but I loved it.

    Wonderful and helpful staff, room air conditioning was great and quiet, loved the view from the room, room was cozy and clean, great look in the bathroom. Flavio and Fernanda were wonderful and welcoming. Booked here after 2 of 3 nights at another hotel were awful. Even had dinner at the restaurant which was great. Highly recommend. And loved that it was in the old fortress.

    The air-conditioning made the dining rooms where breakfast was served quite chilly in the morning. In our room (106) there was a metal knob in the floor right in front of the WC - big enough to hurt your toes.

    Unique position in one of the old forts; very quiet, stunning views. Excellent breakfast with a large variety of dishes.

    There are some signs of aging: a little rust on the outdoor chairs, hall carpets getting thin.

    View was fabulous; room was airy and comfortable; breakfast was excellent; location was amazing - not only picturesque but easy walking to town, marina, restaurants. Small swimming pool fit the bill, and walking the walls of the fort was something truly exceptional. We went on a boat trip with the hotel's recommended tour operator to the Goat Islands - a small but safe open boat, marvelous visit inside a cave on the island and swimming in the blue sea.

    The lounge/ bar. As a rule, Pousadas have a bar but also other common spaces where guests can relax, read or talk. In this case, there's a single space (bar/ lounge) and not comfortable for said activities. The pool is smaller than expected - but still adequate, given the (small) number of the guests that used it.

    Excellent room and view. Very quiet (our major requirement). Very good breakfast. Very friendly - and helpful - staff. A very nice surprise: music only in the restaurant, well chosen, and not loud. (In the past, I've stayed in Pousadas with music in all spaces - and did complained about this in the evaluation. So this is a plus and other Pousadas should follow this example.) The WiFi worked perfectly.
