    Location is perfect, landscape is very interesting. We travelled the island but I recommend walking around the accommodation as well. Bar for drinks and food is nearby. Communication with host was easy and pleasant. Host left for us some food...

    Spacious house in a wonderful location on Pico. We both loved staying here on our honeymoon. The host was very helpful and even gave us a lift into town.

Norberto Maciel
Adega do Xelica is a typical Azorean cottage built out of black lava rock. It is located adjacent to the ocean in Arcos de Santa Luzia, Pico Island. The cottage features several private terraces, as well as a barbeque and outdoor patio. This is an ideal space for enjoying the fresh fish and other culinary delights of the Island with a nice glass of Pico wine. Adega do Xelica is ideal for couples and families who love walks along the ocean, and swimming in natural pools.
Perfect for a nice relaxing holiday. Idyllic location situated harmoniously between the mountain and the ocean. From the cottage, there is a 100 metre walk to a natural ocean pool for all day swimming and lounging, and a café is open seasonally to provide beverages and small local delicacies (pastries, sandwiches, etc.). From the cottage, you can take in splendid scenic views of Sao Jorge island and Pico Mountain. The cottage is a 5 minute drive from Pico Island Airport, 15 minutes drive to Sao Roque municipality, 20 minute drive to Madelana municipality. From here, you are within 30 minutes drive of all major attractions on the island, including whale watching, hiking the mountain, snorkelling, caving, and ferries to Sao Jorge Island and Faial Island. With its unique location in the heart of vineyards classified as World Hertiage by Unesco, the cottage is only 2 km away from the headquarters of Pico's Natural Park, the Wine and Vineyard Interpretive Centre and the newly opened House of the Volcanoes.
