Azores Youth Hostels - Pico ★★

"Sometimes the staff were very kind and helpful, and other times they were rigid and rude. There is no kitchenette or refrigerator for guests' convenience. The dormitories are very small and the beds are noisy. Of the six beds, the two in the middle have no power outlet or light. No towels or soap are provided. The bathrooms are far from the dormitories. The toilets were running, and there was always water on the floor. It was slippery! There is no air conditioning, no fan, and the lockers don't have locks. You have to bring your own padlock. On a positive note, it was clean, and the architecture of this old building is beautiful."

Aldeia Das Adegas ★★★★

"It was great to come “home” to our very spacious 2 bedroom cottage after a day of activities. It’s in a nice quiet area (about a 25 minute drive from Madalena). Breakfast daily is fresh bread, cheese, granola, juice and fruit (e.g., melon, kiwi, oranges), brought to the cottage by the hosts. Full kitchen. Washing machine in the unit. Must hang stuff to dry. There is a hot tub on site that I’d describe as a warm tub. Only reason not to stay here is if you want to be closer to Madalena."

Sara Village ★★★

"The room was very clean and a good size. Everything seemed new. The bed was very comfortable. There is also an outside seating area with a beautiful view. Our reception was friendly. The only thing I didn't like was that we could hear our nextdoor neighbours using the bathroom and shower."

Pico Dreams ★★★

"Pico dreams really is a dream. The photos on websites do not convey the beauty of the place. We were in room 16, super new, clean and decorated with taste, it felt like staying in a 5 star resort surrounded by lush greenery. The owners are really sweet and ever ready to help. The place is in a very quiet and relaxing area but within walking distance from Piscinas naturais and a couple of very good restaurants. If it offered breakfast it would be even more amazing, but in any case this is not a problem as they provide beautiful shared kitchens and very near the place is a mini market. Thank you for this unforgettable stay, the best on the Azores so far!"

A Casa do Ouvidor ★★★★

"The accommodation was even more beautiful than on the photos. Nicely equipped, clean house, with a pool and a stunning view! The host was very helpful and kind. The perfect place for a quiet holiday on the Azores - only a walk away from the natural pool by the sea."

Adegas do Pico ★★★★

"My family and I stayed at Adegas do Porto for two nights this August, and were excited about the chance to stay at such a charming, authentic home in the heart of Pico. The house had the basics and necessities needed for our stay, and the staff were readily available by phone or email. A welcome basket of local bread, jam, coffee and tea was prepared and set out on the table for our arrival. This, however, was the extent of the positive experiences we had at Adegas do Porto. Soon after arriving, we began to notice bugs covering the walls of the bedrooms downstairs. One room, had over 10 spiders on the ceiling, and the other had multiple house centipedes running across the walls, into the floor, and even onto the bed. We also noticed that the en-suite bathroom toilet appeared to be leaking. When wiping up some of the water, we were shocked to find a lizard in the trash bin. The lizards were also in the walls of the kitchen, and a bat flew into the outside stone of the house while we were on the patio. The final issue before reaching out to the host was the fact that none of the outlets in the bedrooms were working... An email was sent to inform the host of these issues, to which the response was: "Thank you so much for your email and information! It was a pleasure to welcome you and we look forward to your next visit 😊 Have a nice evening." We do understand that this is an authentic lava home within the wild nature of the Azores, however, did not appreciate the toilet paper stuffed between the bottom edges of the wall and the floorboards, signaling that the host was well-aware of the issue prior to us reaching out. Suffice it to say, we did not sleep well during the two nights we spent here."
