The property has a beachfront location with stunning view to Faial and the coastline. Typical island property with many details in wood perfectly crafted by the hosts. Absolutely clean and cozy, making our stay a memorable experience in Pico. Monique was our host, always very helpful and kind. Having a coffee early in the morning or a sunset drink at the main balcony is a rare and exquisite experience. We will be back!

Casa do mar is a brand new guest house build with a lot of local wood and lava rocks. So it is a great mixture between the traditional lava rock and a the classic austrian houses. The house is equipped with modern sustainable technolgy such as solar water heating and floor heating to increase the comfort and decrease the enviromental impact. The house is build 50m from the ocean in an nature reserve which is less than one kilometer from the town centre of Madalena (the largest village of Pico) . Every room offers a great sea view and some an additional view of the Pico volcano. We have build the house on our own and have therefore tried to carry out every detail the best way possible. The house also offers a multipurpose room with full sea view that can eather be used for yoga, light training or meetings and so on. A large garden with a terrace platform just about 20m to shore another terrace also with great sea view, a lounge a community kitchen with sea view and somewhat more will hopefully offer you a great stay on this beautiful island.
We, Mogli, Noah, Stella and Victor hope to welcome you in our guesthouse Casa do mar. We are a young family with german roots but our two sons have spend most of their life on Pico. I (Victor) came to Pico in 2007 to work on a prototype wave energy power plant. As it took some more time to harvest some energy from the ocean as expected I stayed much longer than expected. Later on first my wife than the kids followed. To build the guesthouse was a dream but also an opportunity because the land was of a friend who could not find someone who wanted to buy it at that time. As I had to be present on Pico due to the power plant it appeared a good idea to use the free time to build this house. However the power pland collapsed in 2018 and we continued to build the house. It was a fun but also demanding time, living offgrid in a small hut some meters from shore with two small kids building a large house on our own. We went back home to earn money in winter and spend it on the construction during the rest of the year. Now the kids are in school already and we are happy to have finally finished the construction and be able to welcome you here.
