The peace and quiet and space. Even in indifferent weather it was a joy to sit outside watching the clouds and the sunsets. The staff went the extra mile when we panicked over a mislaid passport.

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"

Calma do Mar, hotel in Madalena

Located in the edge of the village of Madalena, 100 metres from the sea, Calma do Mar B&B offers cosy accommodations with free WiFi.

The breakfast was wonderful! There was a selection of fruit, overnight oats, muesli with different things to add (nuts etc) and a wide selection of delicious jams, plus eggs cooked to order. The breakfast room is also a shared sitting area with views towards the ocean one way, and the Pico volcano the other. The room was large and bright, and very comfortable.

Very nicely decorated two-floor apartment, friendly staff (especially Anna) who explained us everything and gave us a lot of recommendations what to do on Pico Island.

    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.

    Comfortable and well designed hostel in walking distance to the ferry terminal. We had quite a big room on the first floor with a HUGE bed and a pretty view over the harbor and to Faial. The whole place is still quite new and has a hotel feel. There were at least 2 places to find breakfast in walking distance, and facilities to eat your own food inside in the loungy common area. Perfect place to explore Pico from. We arrived rather late and the checkin process was well organized, staff very friendly and accommodating.

    My stay was a pleasure from a beginning to end. Federica and her team do their very best to make you feel like you are at home. The accommodation is very spacious and although in nature it is very close to Madalena city (15 min walk). But what makes this a great stay is the offering of the staff - yoga classes and Hugo's trekking tour are a must-do! Would come back again, and hopefully for longer.

    The studio I had was spacious, beautifully decorated, very well-equipped, and very comfortable. And PicoStudios is located right in the centre of Madalena, 2 minutes' walk from the sea, and 5 minutes from cafes, restaurants, places to book activities and the ferry terminal. There's even a good pizza place right next door.

    The location was fantastic, right in the middle of Madalena, right in front of the harbour where you can ride a boat to Faial Island, also 5 minute away from a large supermarket with everything you need to make your stay more pleasent. Amazing view from the terrace, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Faial island.

    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.
