I was impressed by the ocean view. The breakfast rolls and croissants were fresh and delicious. Having wine and beer and soft drinks available on the honor system was convenient since we did not have a car.

We ended up doing the Pico mountain hike at the day of our departure. The person we dealt with (father of the owner) let us take a shower and stick around in another apartment (which we were lucky wasn't rented out) after checkout at no extra cost. In general, he was super nice and attentive and the communication with him was great even though he spoke only the most rudimentary English.

Among the facilities at this property are a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space, along with free Wifi throughout the property.

This apartment was the perfect stay for us in a perfect island. To be frank photos don't give enough credit to the apartment, we were surprised at our arrival by the size and the great location near everything in Madalena. The apartment was sparkly clean and had all the amenities we needed. On top of all the host is very pleasant and made us feel extremely welcome

The location is amazing. We were able to comfortably walk to it from the ferry port with our backpacks. It has A nice, constant ocean breeze right by a coastline walking trail. The room and bathroom were large and very clean! The hosts and other tenants were extremely friendly and helpful! Unfortunately, we had to leave for our hike before the included breakfast, but it sounded amazing!

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.
We've had a wonderful stay in Ilha do Pico. The house is clean, very comfortable (lots of space), well-decorated and very well-equipped. Location is perfect, in quiet Cachorro, just a few minutes away (by car) from Madalena. Pedro (host) is extremely kind and helpful. Dear Pedro, thanks a lot, you've made our stay wonderful experience, hope to see you next year!
The house was well set up with a nice living room area, an excellent kitchen, nice bedrooms. Honestly, we didn't spend much time in the house, but what time we spent there was quite comfortable. The location was nice for us: out of town so very quiet but within easy reach of Madalena but also easy to get to other areas.
Very clean and tidy. The location is perfect, just next to the pier and the center of Madalena. The breakfast was great: a wide variety of products with great quality.
