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.
Surrounded by lush greenery, epicenter PICO is located in Azores’ Pico Island. The house has scenic views over the lush green areas and also over neighboring Faial Island.

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.

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.

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 perfect location in the heart of Madalena. Easy walk to restaurants, grocery, etc. Parking easy to find near by (April). Our room was the top floor apartment, which was more spacious than anticipated. The kitchen was well supplied and the couch plus sitting area allowed for space to relax. Our host was very welcoming and provided good recommendations for our time on the island. Wifi worked well for video calls. We would stay again!
- Maria is such a wonderful host and I felt very welcomed during my stay.
- Short walk to the supermarket next door and to the city center of Madalena.
- Delicious breakfast with a variety of foods.
- The villa is located on a hill and gives a gorgeous view over the ocean from the balcony of the room.
- I really enjoyed having a small kitchen and a bathtub in my room.
Perfect spot zu explore the island. Between Madalena and Lajes, the natural pool nearby is really nice and the view from the terrasse extraordinary with the pico at the back. We could watch dolphins from the terrasse.
The father of the host who was taking care of the house was really nice and helpful.
There was Coffee, tea, water and milk waiting for us.
We chose this hotel in the heart of Madalena just because we had no car for our first day in Pico. The hotel location is excellent, right next to the ferry terminal. The other characteristics are very correct: big room, comfortable bad, nice bathroom, tasty breakfast.
We were very pleased to find a basket with fruits in our room!
The host is amazing. Very kind and generous. (We even forgot something and he drove to look for us at the fairy!)
The house has a private beach. Amazing sunsets!
Everything is just right.
The back of the house is Pico mountain.
Spacious beautiful. Has everything you need.
More than a 5 star hotel.

Perfect Location in the center, restaurants, shops, car rentals and everything one might need within walking distance. Debora was very welcoming and did everything to make me feel at home and offered even a late check out which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend this place when in Madalena.
The host allowed us to check in early and had prepared a welcome basket of bread, cheese, fruit and coffee for us. The apartment was clean and is located just outside of Madalena town centre - about a 15 minute walk. All kitchen appliances worked well and the washing machine was a bonus.
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
The hotel is new with a good bed and bathroom. it is one of the few places on the island with a bathtub. The breakfast is also very good. The staff is attentive and the hotel makes some small actions to surprise clients positively.
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.
Brand new structure, large and equipped rooms, strategic location 15 minutes walk from the center and the port of Madalena. The reception ladies very nice and helpful. We couldn't find any flaws!
The hotel was beautiful and in a great location. The views were amazing. The breakfast was excellent, and I liked that we could eat outside on the deck. The staff were friendly and helpful.
