Walking in the Azores

During our week in the Azores, we split our time between a trio of three- and four-star hotels. Below are the accommodations typically used on this walking adventure.



Pico: Hotel Caravelas (nights 1-3)







Begin the adventure at Hotel Caravelas, in the heart of Madalena town. This 137-room accommodation is a short walk from the bustling marina, but also has a lounger-lined outdoor pool should you wish to relax. There’s also a bar, which serves the local Pico wine, plus a sauna and gym.



São Jorge: Hotel São Jorge Garden (nights 4-5)







Spend two nights in this seafront property, which has spectacular views over the Atlantic to Mount Pico. It also has a swimming pool with sun loungers and is just a five-minute walk from the town centre, where you will find a selection of restaurants.



Faial: Hotel Faial Garden (nights 6-7)







Hotel Faial Garden is a tranquil haven in the coastal city of Horta. Head to the outdoor pool for a dip with mountain views. There’s also a comprehensive wellness hub with a Jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath and gym.



Worth knowing



Standard double rooms at Hotel Caravelas and Hotel São Jorge Garden have twin beds pushed together. There is a limited number of ‘true’ double rooms available for a supplement. Please speak to your sales representative if you wish to secure a true double room.
