The property was very clean, comfortable and close to a lot of facilities/restaurants. The owner was very nice, he made a reservation for us at a restaurant as we did not have a phone to call. We struggled to have a taxi take us back to the airport, but he offered us a ride. Very nice and understanding, would 100% recommend. Also, being able to do laundry is a huge plus!

Alma do Pico - Nature Residence, hotel in Madalena

Alma do Pico - Nature Residence has an outdoor swimming pool with stunning views over Faial Island and the surroundings. The unit is in Pico Island and has views over the famed Pico Mountain.

We arrived very late because out flight from Terceira island was delayed 3 hours. We were able to communicate with the staff at Almo do Pico via WhatsApp and email (we didn't have SIM cards that supported cell service on the island). They were very helpful and understanding. They just left the door key in the door lock for us. We completed the official check in the next morning. We asked if there was a store nearby where we could buy some hiking poles for our trek up Pico Mountain. They loaned us two sets of poles for free that had been left by prior guests. Excellent service. Nice private cabins. Beautiful setting. Great breakfast.

Casas do Verdelho, hotel in Madalena

Featuring free WiFi and air conditioning, Casas do Verdelho is set in Madalena, 5.6 mi from Pico Airport. Free private parking is available on site.

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.

O Farrobo, hotel in Madalena

Providing inner courtyard views, O Farrobo in Madalena offers accommodations and a garden. With sea views, this accommodation features a patio.

We loved the beautiful apartments at O Farrobo. The apartments are fantastic renovations of old lava stone houses. The interiors are modern, sleek and comfortable. We felt as though we were hidden in an Azorean forest. There is even air-conditioning and the beds are big and very comfortable (not typical for the Azores!) The owners are sweet, accomodating and helpful. Andrea called us a cab to the airport and allowed us to check in earlier than we expected. We also had lunch at the on-site restaurant which serves delicious steaks and excellent fries. We will miss the kitty I played with all evening. We hope to come back next year.

Atlantic Heritage Luxury Villa, hotel in Madalena

With mountain views, this accommodation provides a balcony and a swimming pool. The villa also offers free Wifi, free private parking, and facilities for disabled guests.

I don't even know where to start. Anticipating changing corona measures, we made use of the private dinner services. Every day, we could schedule breakfast and dinner at a time of our choice, and the quality of the meals was exquisite, among the best food we had in Portugal. Carolina, the host, was absolutely brilliant and made our stay perfect - some of the best services we enjoyed. An example: weather changed rapidly on a whale watching trip. With wind, waves and rain, even waterproof wear got soaked. Carolina offered to wash our clothing, and we were able to wear it again when climbing Pico mountain. The villa itself is fantastic, and luxurious. Small details and facilities complete the experience: bluetooth speakers, a playstation (you don't need this), firewood, etc. We very much enjoyed the hot jacuzzi and cooling down in the pool outside. The view is amazing, changing every day. This was probably one of our best ever holiday experiences in terms of accommodation.

    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.

    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!

    A great little hotel just off the centre of Madalena. Everything in town is within a short stroll and the rooms overlook the ocean and the island of Faial. The host Maria is very hospitable and knowledgeable and her pineapple cake is delicious. The place is exceptionally clean, the breakfast more than adequate and the area is quiet. It was my second stay there.
