Difficult to get there but otherwise - nice

Wish we could have stayed longer! A sweet, quiet little house right on the sea that's still walkable to anywhere in Madalena. Very friendly and helpful welcome, with a great room and lovely little terrace/sitting area with views of both the sea and Mt. Pico. Breakfast in the morning was amazing, with a wide selection of quality options.

In hot days air con is missing (but this is correctly referred in room description)

Location right on the coast, shared kitchen area with a fridge

Beds weren't the best - lumpy pillows, matress didn't breathe much so a little bit sticky. Noisy.

WOW Mona who runs this place is an outstanding host. She was super helpful and nice to chat with. She and her partner helped us book whale watching even though the weather was tricky and few boats went out during our stay. The location is perfect - walking distance to central Madalena but several good restaurants nearby. The view of the ocean and (weather permitting) Faial was gorgeous. We spent some time each day with a cup of tea just enjoying the view from the main lounge. So happy we booked this place rather than a more central one! Plenty space to park the car. Good value!

the mosquitos in my room.

After exploring the island during the day, it was such a delight to come back to Casa do mar and enjoy the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from the terrace. Mona, the house manager, is very hospitable and can offer suggestions on things to do in the area. I would definitely stay here again if I'm so fortunate to visit Pico again. Breakfast included a nice spread including fresh bread.

Wifi did not work more than 10% of time. Room was small.

great location across from ocean with views of Faial. Breakfast was very good with options for healthy and other foods. Staff was courteous and helpful. This location served our needs as a quiet B&B like destination.

It can be noisy given the layout of how the breakfast area/kitchen/common area are adjacent to the main floor bedrooms. The yoga room was gorgeous, but I feel like the space would have better used as a guest room and having the yoga room a separate structure on the property. I was glad we weren’t on the main floor. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Being able to use the kitchen to make dinner and eat outside with the gorgeous view was a bonus!

The location is amazing! The views are gorgeous!

Casa do Mar stole our hearts! We loved everything about our stay. The view at sea and Faial is mesmerizing. The facilities in the house are superb, we cooked some lovely diners in the kitchen and enjoyed eating them on the shared terrace while enjoying the sunset. In the morning you are welcomed with a lovely breakfast and hot coffee. The bed and shower is good. There is osmosis tap water, therefore you do not have to buy big bottles of water. A huge supermarket is only 10min walking. The walk into town (Madalena) is only a few minutes where you can jump into the natural swimming pools, go for a nice diner or walk to the harbour to go for a whale watching tour. The interior of the house is very scandinavian and light, with lots of wood. As said… we loved it and if we ever visit Pico again we would definetely stay here again.

This was my favourite place to stay whilst travelling in the Azores. Fantastic views of Pico and Faial and several outdoor areas to relax in. Lovely calm atmosphere.

A very new and modern guesthouse right at the sea. The beds were super comfortable and it was super clean! I also wanted to mention the excellent breakfast, which is included.

Stayed in August 2024

The lack of soundproofing was a bit of an issue for me. The building is made of wood which is very beautiful but means that you hear everything from the rooms around. At the start of my stay there were quite a few families and lots of children running about. Not very peaceful! It’s a great location for a family holiday of course but you can hear every footstep and voice which meant that there was quite a lot of noise throughout the day. The weather was hot when I was there - I understand that air-conditioning is not very ecological but a fan in the room would make all the difference.

The location is amazing - the view from my balcony was stunning. The room was clean and the building and grounds are very nicely presented. Hosts were very welcoming. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. They will also organise an early breakfast for guests if required. The property is located a 10-15 minute walk from the centre of Madalena.

Just as an idea: Some deck chair in the garden would be great to enyou the nice view.

Casa do mar is a peaceful place with a nice sea view, where you are just minutes (by foot) away from a nature pool to bath. The rooms are very clean, you can cook in the shared kitchen and make friends with other guests. Mona who runs Casa do Mar is very friendly and helpful. If your looking for that, Casa do Mar is the perfect place to be. If you‘re looking for the luxury of a five star hotel, you better go somewhere else.

The rooms in this house are not all alike. We occupied the lower rooms looking out onto the ocean with our own little patios, and this was wonderful. The rooms are comfortable and clean with ample room, table with chairs and storage. The bathroom layout is efficient. We had access to the kitchen and common area and outdoor patio and yoga room, and we enjoyed all of them. The breakfast was wonderful: breads, eggs, meats, cheeses, fruit. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Just a walk to the edge of the property and one can walk along the shoreline promenade into town. The biggest challenge was finding how to drive to the property as Google maps didn't quite get us to the right spot.

Great 4 night stay for 2 couples spending 3 weeks in the Azores. A little tricky to find using Google maps. Ample parking, once we found it!! Easy walk to town along the ocean. Large grocery store and tasty restaurants all within walking distance. We enjoyed use of the kitchen for a couple simple dinners.

Big rooms and comfy beds, great location at oceanfront, good outside seating area, perfectly equiped kitchen, high ecological standards. Our host Mona was very friendly, helpful and even early breakfast was no problem.

On booking should be better described the accommodation. Like i.e., there is a time schedule for the hot water, the rooms are not tidy up during the stay and you have to take care of the plates and cutlery after breakfast... All of these things are absolutely ok, but it would be better knowing them in advance.

The position is absolutely amazing, just in front of the ocean, looking towards Faial.

The property has a beachfront location with stunning view to Faial and the coastline. Typical island property with many details in wood perfectly crafted by the hosts. Absolutely clean and cozy, making our stay a memorable experience in Pico. Monique was our host, always very helpful and kind. Having a coffee early in the morning or a sunset drink at the main balcony is a rare and exquisite experience. We will be back!

The employee asked us to clean our breakfast dishes (even though it's included) while she was sitting around looking at her phone. We didn't mind so much but it felt a little cheeky.

Location and house is fantastic. Closer to the water and you'd be in the ocean. Very friendly owner and friendly cat 😊 very comfortable living room, and yoga room with view on the ocean.

Beds were a little uncomfortable and minimal bedding (one blanket and one pillow per person)

Victor was very kind and accommodating! Breakfast was great, location was great and property was very nice
