Adegas do Pico

We spent 3 nights ar Casa da Vinha. It is a chrming old wine house that has been converted into a rental property. It has all the amenities you require. Great for 2 people. The management are lovely and supplied basket with bread, jam and tea Being a stone house it does get chilly but they supply a heater for the kitchen and there is some type of wood pellet burning stove in the bedroom upstairs. We did not use that. There is also an air conditioner in the bedroom. We had a lovely time there but I must advise the the house does have a musty smell I suspect that there is nothing that can be done about that. The views from the back yard are amazing

My family and I stayed at Adegas do Porto for two nights this August, and were excited about the chance to stay at such a charming, authentic home in the heart of Pico. The house had the basics and necessities needed for our stay, and the staff were readily available by phone or email. A welcome basket of local bread, jam, coffee and tea was prepared and set out on the table for our arrival. This, however, was the extent of the positive experiences we had at Adegas do Porto. Soon after arriving, we began to notice bugs covering the walls of the bedrooms downstairs. One room, had over 10 spiders on the ceiling, and the other had multiple house centipedes running across the walls, into the floor, and even onto the bed. We also noticed that the en-suite bathroom toilet appeared to be leaking. When wiping up some of the water, we were shocked to find a lizard in the trash bin. The lizards were also in the walls of the kitchen, and a bat flew into the outside stone of the house while we were on the patio. The final issue before reaching out to the host was the fact that none of the outlets in the bedrooms were working... An email was sent to inform the host of these issues, to which the response was: "Thank you so much for your email and information! It was a pleasure to welcome you and we look forward to your next visit 😊 Have a nice evening." We do understand that this is an authentic lava home within the wild nature of the Azores, however, did not appreciate the toilet paper stuffed between the bottom edges of the wall and the floorboards, signaling that the host was well-aware of the issue prior to us reaching out. Suffice it to say, we did not sleep well during the two nights we spent here.

Süsse und traditionelles Lavasteinhaus, es gibt verschiedene die vereinzelt stehen. Unseres war oberhalb der Ortschaft am steilen Hang mit tollem Blick aufs Meer und Sao Jorge. Dir Ausstattung und top, jedoch sollte man auch ein Naturmensch sein! Es wimmelt überall ums Haus von Eidechsen, die Vögel und Fledermäuse haben in den Spalte der Mauern aussen Ihre Nester. Wir fanden das toll! Nachteile: die Matratze war sehr hart ☹️ Und da es keine Heizung gibt, die Luftfeuchtigkeit sehr hoch ist, die Häuser nicht viel gelüftet werden (wenn unbewohnt) richt es ziemlich muffig, wände im Erdgeschoss sind feucht. Für 3 Nächte war es ein tolles Erlebnis.

Sehr gemütliches Haus über zwei Etagen. Unten ist Küche und Bad mit Dusche. Küche komplett eingerichtet. Oben ist das Schlafzimmer mit einer Couch. Wir waren im Weinhaus. Etwas abseits gelegen, circa 15 Minuten zu Fuß zur Kirche. Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend. Ein kleiner Garten mit Stühlen und Tisch ist vor dem Haus. Dort sind auch einige Katzen. Das Haus ist insgesamt eher kalt. Unten ist eine Elektroheizung, im Schlafzimmer eine Klimaanlage, die natürlich auch heizt. Dadurch kann man es einigermaßen warm bekommen. Kaffee für die Kaffeemaschine, etwas Brot und Marmelade stehen bereit. Ein sehr typisches Haus mit viel Charme.

Nous avions louer une des maisons “casa da Montanha” pour 3 nuits… Après la première nuit, nous avons décidé de partir car l’humidité de la maison était insupportable. Toutes nos affaires étaient humides et la chambre du bas avait une odeur terrible d’humidité. Les draps de lits semblaient même mouillés et l’air était vraiment irrespirable même avec les fenêtres ouvertes. Peut-être que les autres maisons n’ont pas ce problème. Nous regrettons beaucoup ce désagrément. A déconseiller !

Muito agradável, pequeno mas acolhedor. Bom serviço e simpático, numa paisagem magnífica. O banho na poça branca foi divinal, culminando com uma agradável degustação. O funcionários muito simpáticos. Recomendo a experiência
