    The restaurant at the resort was unfortunately not open

    A very warm welcome by the host who was very helpful in organizing a taxi for us the next day. We received all the information that we needed including advice for some restaurants at walking distance.

    We booked it as a hotel room, but it is organised as apartments. It turned out that breakfast is served in the apartment, which is great, but one might be disappointed if expecting a hotel buffet

    The manager, Ines, was kind and helpful. The location is beautiful, and the apartments have all the necessary space and furniture

    As it was a little way out of town It would have been perfect if the restaurant was open or if they offered a simple bar service when it was closed.

    Peaceful and eco friendly

    Pillows were not particularly comfortable. Place mats for breakfast were old and stained. Breakfast was basic, orange juice not freshly squeezed.

    Receptionist Inês was very friendly and welcoming. Gardens surrounding the property are fantastic and create an atmosphere of privacy around the houses.

    The hot water in the shower ran out very quickly, which was inconvenient. For a place surrounded by nature, it was disappointing that the juice served at breakfast wasn’t fresh. The electric kettle in the kitchenette was plastic, and after boiling, the water had a strong plastic taste — not ideal for making tea or coffee. Also, there was no “Do Not Disturb” sign to hang on the door.

    We enjoyed our stay at this residence. Although it’s not located right in the city center, the walk to downtown wasn’t too long. The place was clean and located in a lush, green area that made the whole experience feel relaxing and close to nature. The courtyard was beautifully maintained, and the overall vibe was very peaceful. The staff were polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay.

    The slight smell of Sulphur. The dryer didn't dry our clothes, but that may have been user error. The TV did not work for us either.

    Beautiful setting in the woods, bird songs, views of the sea, comfortable lodging, breakfast delivered every morning, good location, restaurant on site.

    The breakfast could be better. Perhaps most striking is to have your milk and coffee in capsules. It should not be very difficult to offer fresh coffee and milk in the Azores.

    Almo do Pico is a real find. Built under the trees, it is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is very close to the town center and other attractions. Like the rest of the Azores islands, you need a car.

    A bit of a personal preference but the mattresses were incredibly firm, probably the firmest mattress I've even slept on, which for me was a little uncomfortable.

    We stayed in the 2 bedroom villa, aptly named "the palace" by the staff. The villa was so beautiful and very spacious. It has been finished to a very high standard, with a very well stocked kitchen for all cooking needs and 2 beautiful bathrooms, one with a shower and the other a bath. The was so much outside space with stunning views out the front of Mount Pico and the back overlooking Faial island. Every member of staff were incredible and so friendly, nothing was too much to ask for. There is a pool and restaurant on site but we did not use either, it was a bit too cold (late April) to use the pool. The location of the property is pretty good, was a nice leisurely stroll of 20-30 minutes into the centre of Madalena, and there is a large supermarket just down the road (about 5 minutes walking). We did hire a car to explore the island and there was always ample parking. Overall we had a wonderful time staying here and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Azores.

    Nothing

    Lovely bungalows tucked away in nature, just outside Madalena—perfectly located. The bungalows were spot on: clean, cozy, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The team at Alma do Pico was incredibly friendly and gave us lots of great tips. Breakfast was delivered to our door each morning, always fresh and made with care.

    Room was a bit dark. Breakfast was delivered in baskets to room, it was rather poor and very limited. No eggs, vegetables. Just bread, four plasters of ham and cheese, small butter and small jam, two fruits and two glasses of juice - all for two people.

    Great location, very quiet and natural (feels like you are in the park). To the „main town” it’s around 30 mins walk. Amazing view both on Pico and Ocean. Room was clean and spacious.

    You have to press the button in the shower for it to keep running. Would be nice to change that.

    Our stay was amazing! The location of Alma do Pico is great. Just outside of Madalena and super central for all activities on Pico. The staff is amazing and they offer so many nice recommendations. At the reception they have a board with all activities and the best restaurants. The restaurant at the hotel, Atmosfera, is amazing and serves homemade pastas and beautiful wines. It’s run by a family and they also cater the breakfast at the cabins. You can adjust the breakfast to your own needs but it’s already amazing as it is. Big compliments to the entire restaurant team as they made us feel so welcome!
