My Bed in Pico

We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Pico! We were on the very top floor — be aware there are stairs, so carrying luggage up and down can be a bit of a workout. We had requested the room with the washing machine, which was perfect for us as we were traveling light throughout the islands. There’s no dryer, but it was manageable. The linens, towels, and bathrobes were of luxury quality and beautifully presented on our double bed. There’s also a lovely seating area where you can relax, read a book, or simply enjoy the view. The kitchen is fully equipped. We enjoyed our morning coffee inside before heading out to a nearby bakery for breakfast. There are also two local supermarkets with great cafeterias serving clean, local food at very reasonable prices. The living area has a good-quality TV with access to many American shows as well as local channels. The bathroom was modern, with a powerful hair dryer (better than most hotels!). When we needed extra towels, it was no problem. Housekeeping is done every two days, though we opted out. Deborah was a super host — incredibly accommodating and kind. She even allowed us a late checkout on Sunday, which we were beyond grateful for. Don’t miss the nearby local wine-tasting spots within walking distance, natural pools, scenic lookout bar, and the wine museum — all worth visiting! Whether you drive around the island or hire a guide, you’ll discover unbelievable views and hidden gems. A side note: there’s a great restaurant downstairs where we ate twice (and others nearby). The host can recommend local eateries. Lastly, if you’re catching a ferry, double-check the location and schedule. Ours was changed from São Roque to Madalena due to weather, and with no taxis available, we were at the mercy of anyone who could drive us there. Overall, an excellent stay — comfortable, well-appointed, and hosted by someone who truly cares about her guests

Wonderful studio that overcame our expectations. Perfectly situated one step to the church and the ferry terminal. Madalena as such isn‘t spectacular, but a lovely little community. Very kind manager, easy to reach, no probs! Very pleased that it gave the possibility not to change towels every day and not to clean every day - eco responsible!

This has been our favorite place we stayed during our ten days in the Azores. We stayed in the suite on the top floor, which has a fantastic view of the church and Faial Island. They were so accommodating, our flight didn't leave until 7 PM, and they let us leave our luggage for the day and came back to have it waiting for us curbside. So charming!

We stayed in the Soul Patterns room and although it was small it was nicely decorated. This room is directly above the kitchen of the restaurant below and that created a lot of noise with pots and pans clanging and smells from the kitchen every night until midnight. Also the double bed was incredibly hard and uncomfortable which is disappointing considering how much work was done to make the room look so nice. I'm sure the other rooms here don't likely have the issues we had as they are not above the kitchen below and hopefully have better beds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at My Bed In Pico. It was such a quaint and affordable hotel and so close to the Pier and downtown shops. The little restaurant was always busy and the food exceptional. Our host Debra was so kind and helpful with all our needs. Our room was spotless and we had everything we needed. We definitely will stay there again on our next vacation to Pico! FRED AND CHARLENE CORMIER NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA
