We had a fantastic stay here, it was our favourite place to be, on our two week trip to 5 Azores islands. It was so nice to return to the large rooms at the end of the day of exploring Sao Jorge, and would eagerly await for diner at the restaurant. We had two days of clear weather where the view of Pico were amazing, and haven't felt anywhere this peaceful in a long time, with only the sounds of the pool waterfall, birds, and frogs. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Michael Canada

Great breakfast with local ingredients and homemade bread. Also, fabulous dinner available. Very friendly host. Great views on vulcano Pico.

Jennifer Germany

Exceptional Breakfast, very kind and friendly personell

Sebastian Germany

Beautiful boutique hotel with large and confortable rooms. Great breakfast and the restaurant Fornos de Lava is the best in the island. Breathtaking views to Pico. Super host with very good communication. Highly recommended.

Francisco Spain

The environment is great, view is exceptional on Pico Island. The food is very nice. Easy to stay in and have dinner on site because you would need a car to move around. There is no frequent public transport.

Coralie Belgium

Absolute charming place, with outstanding view on Pico volcano. Perfect place to disconnect and relax.

Delphine France

View, rural feel with pristine clear air, very friendly and extremely helpful hosts when in need, tasty breakfast, premium restaurant for the evening. Big parking.

Jan Poland

Amazing breakfast with all the traditional, local, handmade breakfast items. The owners and entire staff are absolutely amazing! We were well accomodated :)

Elisabete Portugal

From my experience, family owned hotels are always very nice. You can engage with the persons in a more deeper level. The fact that the hotel uses traditional lava houses as rooms, makes you fill a nice warmth. The nature sounds are all around us, and it can be overwhelming in the beginning, but after some time you fill more and more in tune with the nature. Amazing restaurant with a chef that cares about the food that is serving!

Nuno Portugal

I had a really nice two night stay at this lovely place. The room was spacious and equipped with everything you needed. Bed was comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic with lots of good homemade food! The view from up there was amazing. And you also have most likely the best restaurant in Sao Jorge in the hotel! I absolutely recommend to stay there! Thank you Leticia and team!
