Miradouro do Facho Tours and Activities

Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Town of Angra is very pretty, plenty to do for a week on the island.

The Angra Marina Hotel has an amazing view of the harbour, and easy access off of one of the main roads and is a short walk down to the harbour and nearby shops and restaurants. Although be aware that the only entrance to the hotel is at the top of a steep hill and there is no access to/from town from the lower levels. However, the hotel itself is dated and poorly maintained - the elevators say they're going down but go up, the roof paint was peeling in the pool area, the bathrooms in the room smelled and the beds are past needing to be replaced. Additionally, several of the lights in our room (the junior suite) were controlled by a remote control, and there were no switches - so if you needed to use the bathroom in the night you needed to find the remote and remember which buttons did which lights. Lastly, we were expecting parking to be available at the hotel, however the hotel parkade looked abandoned and the exit was blocked off and chained close. When we asked about the parking, the staff told us the parkade was terrible, and it would be much better to use the street parking - which is primarily on the steep hill, or at the bottom of the hill.
