Hotel Azoris Faial Garden

This four-star hotel is set in a large rolling garden (complete with 2 cows, when we last stayed there) with a main building overlooking the town, and several villas dotted around.

The hotel has 131 rooms, 2 junior suites, 4 suites and 26 executives (overlooking the sea). The rooms are a comfortable size with spacious bathrooms, air-conditioning and fridge. There is a short cut down a cobbled street to the old town.
