We arrived very late because out flight from Terceira island was delayed 3 hours. We were able to communicate with the staff at Almo do Pico via WhatsApp and email (we didn't have SIM cards that supported cell service on the island). They were very helpful and understanding. They just left the door key in the door lock for us. We completed the official check in the next morning. We asked if there was a store nearby where we could buy some hiking poles for our trek up Pico Mountain. They loaned us two sets of poles for free that had been left by prior guests. Excellent service. Nice private cabins. Beautiful setting. Great breakfast.

Inès and Hugo welcomed us with exceptional hospitality. They paid exemplary attention to our needs through both their actions and the quality of their presence. We are grateful for the wonderful moments shared. As a conscious, smiling, and caring couple, we wish you many fantastic experiences ahead. The owners of Alma do Pico are fortunate to have you, not only when they are present, but especially in their absence. You care for the place as if it were your own, showing remarkable commitment. Thank you for making our stay on Pico unforgettable. Happy New Year 2024!

Great location, lovely little comfortable houses, with everything you might need. So green and peaceful. We were very well looked after, and when we come back to the Azores we will definitely stay here again.

At night the room got a ton of bugs in it on the floor (not flying or biting, just...eeech). I eventually found some bug spreay by the door and that helped take them out but I wish they'd prepared me for that (it was never mentioned). The wifi wasn't working well for me. And the location is challenging, you're way out away from restaurants and such.

This is kind of a "get out in nature" kind of place, a bit minimalist but with lots of nice public seating areas (indoor & out), a pool, and it has a restaurant on-site that's open a few nights a week. My room was fairly sparse but roomy and had a kitchenette in it which would be great for self-catering. They do offer a cocktail bar, which is nice. It's a few minutes' walk from a supermarket, which was convenient. There is breakfast, nothing super special but handy to have.

check-in and check-out schedules. check-out is at 10h30, which is a bit soon, I would say. But again Inês tried to make it as comfortable for us as possible.

The peace and quiet and the fact that Inês was super nice and always trying to find solutions to our issues.

Nice and super helpful staff is the biggest advantage of this place. In second place is closeness to nature and great care for it. Simple, but very good breakfast. Nice view over Faial. The best place on Pico we've been to.

We had a wonderful stay at Alma do Pico. The residence is just amazing, ist's perfectly located a bit outside of Madalena center, but not too far away. We found it perfect for starting our trips around the island. The residence itself is also so beautiful and the view to Faial ist just gorgeous! But what was even better was the friendliness and helpfulness of the people there. We felt very welcome and everyone was so considerate to make our stay as good as possible. The breakfast every day was so delicious and generous and they prepared a special vegan dish for me every morning! We also had dinner in the Atmosfera restaurant which is a part of the residence and can highly recommend it. Don't miss it! :-) Furthermore, we were helped with getting a rental car and we also booked a massage per the service, which was also amazing. In short, we cannot think of anything that would have made our stay more pleasant! A big thank you to the whole Alma do Pico Team 🥰

Breakfast was wonderful. The staff was friendly and efficient. The property was beautiful and very well maintained. It was so peaceful and relaxing.

All good, nothing to complain.

Cute little houses in the middle of the woods. Especially cosy when the rain comes. Supermarket nearby so you can use the kitchenette. Best about the accommodation is the Staff, though. Fluent English and very hearty people that can help you with everything (lots of information about the island, helping to plan day trips, grabbing you a rental car etc.). Can only recommend, very enjoyable stay. :)
