The Portuguese Pousadas are a network of hotel locations partially owned by the State that offer modern and luxury comfort in historic castles, monasteries, or purpose-built buildings. Each is decorated to reflect to the guests the culture and heritage of the region in which they are located.

 

Pousada Santa Cruz (Town: Horta, Faial Island)

This is the only Pousada at present in the Azores Islands and it was opened in 2004. A 16th century fortress has been rebuilt to provide comfortable accommodation for guests. From its rooms visitors have a magnificent view of the impressive peak on nearby Pico Island. The town of Horta has been famous in history for its port facility and as far back as 1775 the explorer Captain Cook commented on its fine houses and gardens. The harbour is normally full of yachts and boats travelling between Europe and the Americas. There are twenty six rooms and two suites supported with a restaurant and bar.

YEAR 2007/8
 The normal Rates per night for a Pousada range from € 84.00 until € 169.00, depending on the season, the day of the week, the length of stay, and the chosen Pousada. However, we also have many special promotions and discounts to offer the visitor which can lower the cost per night per room.
