An excellent introduction to Pico by the owner.

The breakfast was wonderful! There was a selection of fruit, overnight oats, muesli with different things to add (nuts etc) and a wide selection of delicious jams, plus eggs cooked to order. The breakfast room is also a shared sitting area with views towards the ocean one way, and the Pico volcano the other. The room was large and bright, and very comfortable.

The entire experience from the first to the last minute was absolutely incredible. The house is beautiful and with a super cosy decor. Not to mention the huge garden that brings us peace and takes us into the middle of nature (you can even relax in a hammock!!). During our stay, we had a 30th anniversary and the accommodation offered us a (huge) cake and sparkling wine. All these treats make a difference and raise our expectations compared to other places.
Carolina (Reservation Manager) is lovely, super available and made us "feel at home"
This eco-friendly resort offers modern and spacious accommodation with a private terrace and views of the Atlantic ocean.

The peace and quiet and space.
Even in indifferent weather it was a joy to sit outside watching the clouds and the sunsets.
The staff went the extra mile when we panicked over a mislaid passport.

The position is absolutely amazing, just in front of the ocean, looking towards Faial.

I had not been back to Pico Island since 1998 during the year of the earthquake in the Azores. Since that time the Azores has certainly become quite different but in a positive way. This is a small quaint village that offers you all of the modern comforts to explore the beauty that is The Azores. Despite the modern amenities it still keeps it's old world charm. Lest we forget, the wine and the food. Magnificent!

Good place to stay when traveling to Pico Island - relatively close to the airport, has all the necessary facilities (taxi, banks, supermarkets, restaurants), and there are also year-round ferries to go to neighboring islands from there.

Central to everything that is required. We rented a car and drove by the whole island. (110 km.). We stopped in a few villages for a coffee, or beer, or just to drive through. Madalena is definitely our favorite.

Madalena is a nice small town suitable to serve as a "base" for exploring Pico and Faial islands. The ferry port is in the city so it is easy to commute and includes several rental cars companies as well as tour guides for climbing mount Pico.
The nearby natural pools has served us to refresh after a day long trail.
We recommend checking out the local wine museum where you can find the oldest dragon tree as well as trekking in the wine trail that starts just near Madalena.
In the town we enjoyed eating at the Mercado Bio restaurant that serves a nice variety of dishes suitable for all taste and preferences.

Small town with a few restaurants and church.
Small town with a few restaurants and church. There are some nice fish restaurants. Wine museum is worth a visit.
There are a few whale watching, snorkelling, and diving companies, also companies that can arrange land tours and trekking. It is close to the Pico mountain. The problem I had was, it was off season and the tour companies did not seem very interested to arrange activities for tourists. You really have to make an effort yourself to find and arrange any activity. My initial intention was to do some scuba diving with sharks or snorkelling with dolphins. But due to weather conditions (however I have to say that on at least 3 days I was there the weather was very calm, but perhaps there was a bit of surge) and lack of engagement of tour operators it was not possible. I only was able to go on a single whale watching trip (where we did see a couple of whales).
The best part of my holiday was when I rented a car and drove around the island myself. The island (Pico) is very lush and green, very scenic.

This must have been quite the hotel in its day but is quite dated now. Some of the staff were helpful while some were not helpful at all. We were here in the off season so maybe that had to do with it.
Comfortable and well designed hostel in walking distance to the ferry terminal. We had quite a big room on the first floor with a HUGE bed and a pretty view over the harbor and to Faial. The whole place is still quite new and has a hotel feel. There were at least 2 places to find breakfast in walking distance, and facilities to eat your own food inside in the loungy common area. Perfect place to explore Pico from.
We arrived rather late and the checkin process was well organized, staff very friendly and accommodating.
The perfect location in the heart of Madalena. Easy walk to restaurants, grocery, etc. Parking easy to find near by (April). Our room was the top floor apartment, which was more spacious than anticipated. The kitchen was well supplied and the couch plus sitting area allowed for space to relax. Our host was very welcoming and provided good recommendations for our time on the island. Wifi worked well for video calls. We would stay again!
Beautiful little cottage tucked away just outside of Madalena - about a 15 minute walk from the centre, but only about 5 minutes from the wonderful Cella Bar. Interestingly decorated and comfy beds, with almost everything we could want in terms of kitchen utensils etc. Apparently has very nice views - if it wasn't so cloudy the three days we were there, I would confirm. Really good value for money, and a cute place to stay in Pico.
The rooms are really big and spacious, and just opposite a really nice restaurant called Cella bar. There's also a sea spot you can swim in across the street. While it's not in Madalena itself, it's close enough to walk to it (there's no real point staying in Madalena anyway as it basically consists of 2 streets). We had views over looking the ocean and a really spacious balcony.
Fabulous place in Madalena. Large, clean, beautiful room with view of sea and town. Free parking; supermarket next door; and short walk into CBD. Woman running the place could not be more accommodating. I rented a car, but if you were taking a taxi, everybody knows this place. The grounds are beautiful, too, despite construction going on next door.
The house is very well located, right in the center of Madalena. 2 minutes walk from the Harbor.
The owner lives in the house next door and is very helpful.
In the kitchen is everything you need and we had a view of mount pico from our room.
Overall the beds are comfortable and the interior design is well picked.
The view from the front door was an impressive view of Pico mountain. The location was great. It was close to swimming and the town of Madalena, and quiet. Lots of good restaurants and easy to get around. Shopping for groceries was convenient, as was using this location as a starting point to visit Pico.
Great location by the ocean in Madalena. Lovely terrace set into vineyards. Spectacular view of Faial and fun to see ferries go back and forth. Loved having bathtub and house had everything we needed for wonderful stay. Bed was King+ and very comfortable. Very clean and would happily have stayed longer.
Federica and her star are so kind and always helpful sort out anything related with your stay on the island.
The views from the hotel are stunning and the rooms super cozy and clean.
Definite recommendation for your stay on pico Island
Lovely apartment in the heart of Madalena. Patricia is very welcoming and treated us kindly, we had a great stay here. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom was good too. It's a perfect base for exploring both Pico and Horta.
The location was excellent, pretty close to the ferry and main areas in Madalena. There were only tow people in my room which makes it more private. The bed was confortable and it is close to a pretty nice natural pool.
Spacious, clean and well equipped apartment. Airconditioned. Private parking available.
Conveniently in close proximity to the harbour (and Madalena centre) which allowed us to catch an early ferry.
The view of the city from the balcony was amazing. The breakfast was classic as in most European hotels. I would easily add the local bread from the island of Pico, which is excellent.
Proximity to the airport, to the ferry, to Madalena and to the supermarket.
Very friendly and helpful hosts, both before the travel and during the stay.
Very nice and cozy rooms. Great location above a nice restaurant and place to have breakfast. Also very central in Madalena. Very nice and helpful host.
