Holiday Rentals in Terra Alta

A renovated old village in the middle of lush nature. A truly enchanting place. Ana is a great host, always ready to share tips and help.

Albina the host was very welcoming. Accommodation is directly on the seaside.

You have a little house just for yourself in a very calm neighborhood. There is a terrace with an amazing view and in case it rains inside there is a big window where you can sit with the same beautiful view. They have everything you need to stay for a short or long time.

Location

It was a lovely stay. We had a room with a terrace. The washing machine was free and every room had a laundry rack. Naoemi was always available for questions. The kitchen was well organized. We would recommend staying here and would come back :)

Breakfast with typical products from Açores and a fascinating spot with vineyards and quiet.

Our Background We come from the beautiful city of Munich and enjoy traveling the world. Given our demanding jobs, we tend to indulge in more extravagant vacations and are willing to pay above-average prices for high-quality accommodations. This does not mean we are spoiled, but cleanliness and proper maintenance are crucial for us to enjoy our limited vacation time. About the Accommodation and Host Unfortunately, this accommodation and its host do not belong to the types of places we would consider revisiting. To be honest, we fled the place after just one night. Luckily, we found refuge for the remaining three nights at the Azores Wine Company, which we highly recommend. We traveled during the peak season, specifically at the end of August. Knowing that Pico offers limited accommodations and everything gets booked months in advance, we secured our booking early. The host was well aware of this scarcity and exploited it shamelessly. Four weeks before our trip, we received a message in Portuguese (which looked like a standard confirmation at first glance) informing us the air conditioning was broken. We could cancel without penalty but would not receive any discount. Realizing we had no alternative by then, we bit the bullet. On-site Experience Upon arrival, we realized that the small windows did not allow for any airflow, forcing us to keep the doors open to maintain a temperature below 30 degrees celsius. This, unfortunately, invited all sorts of pests, including mice, into the accommodation at night. Although we had four weeks to brace ourselves for such conditions, a bigger issue arose. (please see next field)

The house is very well situated and has the basic amenities. Easy to reach by car / taxi. We were very well received by the hosts and the checkout was very simple.

Incredibly nice room, large bathroom, located close to local swimming pool and furnas

Very cute, rustic house with nice outside terrace. Nice location, close to Madalena, the airport and Sao Roque do Pico. Very private and generally quiet. The house was quite clean Ana was very responsive. Always got a nice breeze when the windows were open and bedroom AC was very effective.
