The entire experience from the first to the last minute was absolutely incredible. The house is beautiful and with a super cosy decor. Not to mention the huge garden that brings us peace and takes us into the middle of nature (you can even relax in a hammock!!). During our stay, we had a 30th anniversary and the accommodation offered us a (huge) cake and sparkling wine. All these treats make a difference and raise our expectations compared to other places.
Carolina (Reservation Manager) is lovely, super available and made us "feel at home"
This eco-friendly resort offers modern and spacious accommodation with a private terrace and views of the Atlantic ocean.

Very cozy place with huge terrace overlooking vineyards, sea and with a magnificent sunset chance over Faial island. The bed was huge and comfortable. Kitchen well equipped, living room furnished with comfortable furniture. Two sun beds were available as well as a table with chairs in the terrace. Internet was good. The ladies in the reception provided the advice on the vineries to visit, one is super close 10-12 mins on foot. Same distance is to the town center or to big supermarket. If you will get tired from the restaurants - supermarket grills great 1/2 chicken. Also within 2 mins walk there is a public natural pools with bar, shower and changing area.

Arriving at Loving Strangers was like being welcomed into a family you never knew you had. Before I knew it, Stefan had brought me to join all the other guests at a big table in the garden, enjoying a delicious home-cooked 4-course dinner. Pedro and Stefan really succeeded at their long-held dream of creating a place where strangers can meet and part again as friends.
Dormitories and bathrooms were spotless, bunkbeds well-designed, offering both privacy and comfort. Staff are super-friendly and helpful. There are bikes for rent, one of which I took over to São Jorge for a day by ferry, where it did itself proud on the hilly roads and dirt tracks.
Last bit of advice: don't forget to ask for some of those yummy freshly prepared pancakes for breakfast!

We just spent a night here. We were satisfied with the cleaning. The facilities were also ok. We had enough room as well. The location is good, just a few corners from the aupermarket and the ferry.

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.
The apartment / house was quite comfortable and very clean - and with AC! The location was a quick walk to the main downtown area of Madalena, easy walk to lots of fine restaurants. There was also a pastry place right next door to grab coffee and breakfast. The Madalena ferry terminal is about a 5 to 10 minute walk away. Parking on the street in front of the house was no issue. Highly recommended! Note that about 7 or 8 steps were needed to access the house, in case stairs are a challenge.
Beautiful little cottage tucked away just outside of Madalena - about a 15 minute walk from the centre, but only about 5 minutes from the wonderful Cella Bar. Interestingly decorated and comfy beds, with almost everything we could want in terms of kitchen utensils etc. Apparently has very nice views - if it wasn't so cloudy the three days we were there, I would confirm. Really good value for money, and a cute place to stay in Pico.
The hotel is amazing. The room we stayed was a duplex (two floors) with on the ground floor a big living room with a kitchen and a huge terrace outside and on the first floor the sleeping room and the bathroom. The room was nicely decorated and the view over the sea and Faial island is amazing. The hotel has also a private parking which is very useful as you need to reach it by car.
Cozy house at walking distance from Madalena and the Vine yards. It is not very big but has everyhing you need and very very clean. Good bed and best walk in shower. Welcome basket tonger you started in the morning and washing machine with products(not used because of weather) Big supermarkt in the area. Very quiet. Very well communication with owner and receiving keys.
Fabulous place in Madalena. Large, clean, beautiful room with view of sea and town. Free parking; supermarket next door; and short walk into CBD. Woman running the place could not be more accommodating. I rented a car, but if you were taking a taxi, everybody knows this place. The grounds are beautiful, too, despite construction going on next door.
The house is very well located, right in the center of Madalena. 2 minutes walk from the Harbor.
The owner lives in the house next door and is very helpful.
In the kitchen is everything you need and we had a view of mount pico from our room.
Overall the beds are comfortable and the interior design is well picked.
Everything you’ll need for a short stay is available. Kitchen with most kitchenware, a stove and a microwave. A bathroom with a simple shower. There is a beach view, but you have to cross a street to get there. It’s only a very short walk to the beach, Madalena is 15 minutes away.
Great location in the heart of Madalena Pico with a cafe below us, great resturants, short walk for the grocery store, and close the to ferry. The property manager was very friendly and professional. They helped us find a taxi at the last minute.
Federica and her star are so kind and always helpful sort out anything related with your stay on the island.
The views from the hotel are stunning and the rooms super cozy and clean.
Definite recommendation for your stay on pico Island
We really enjoyed our time at Vila Barca. It is perfectly placed as you can easily reach Madalena’s city centre as well as the rest of the island. The apartment is fully furnished and the staff is nice and available
Directly in front of the main church of Madalena and on the water. Rooms are comfortable. I split a regular sized hotel room with two double beds and a private bath with another solo traveler from Italy.
Cozy little hostel in the center of Madalena. The double room was spacious with a huge bed.
There is a shared kitchen with all the necessary equipment for cooking.
The staff was friendly :)
Proximity to the airport, to the ferry, to Madalena and to the supermarket.
