Quinta da Magnólia

This was a great place to stay for 2 nights while we visited São Jorge. The staff was nice, the room was super clean, and the breakfast was very good.

This small hotel has a beautiful setting with a view of the ocean and Pico island in the distance. We were in one of the little “house” rooms away from the main building. Our large room was modern, with plenty of space to place our luggage. The bathroom was nice and also had plenty of room. We had a small deck with chairs in front of our room. The only drawback is the remoteness of the location. If you don’t have a car, it is a quite a walk to restaurants, grocery stores etc. The front desk helped us arrange taxis for us. Breakfasts were probably the least interesting of the 15 hotels we have had so far on this trip..

Beautiful buildings and an incredible setting, with unbeatable views out towards Pico. The hotel is thoughtfully decorated, very comfortable and immaculately clean, with friendly and helpful staff. We opted for an ocean view room, which actually meant we had an individual room in its own building just a very short walk from the main building, the main bonus being we had our own veranda and seating with which to enjoy the stunning views. A very good selection of sweet and savoury hot and cold foods for the buffet breakfast, which was regularly replenished. Happy to recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again next time we visit Sao Jorge.

Perfect stay. We loved everything about it- ambience, the killer views, the bed, comfortable bathroom, ease of parking, simple walk to one of the best walking paths we have been on, hot tub (our unit only), quietness and the list goes on. Really good choice.

By far in my top 3 hotels. Family owned newly renovated boutique style hotel. I stayed in the Jr suite so I can only speak on that room. It was literally a cottage off the hotel building. Spacious, quiet, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Check in was a pleasant experience with Pedro who greeted me with a special local treat and what tasted like freshly squeezed orange juice. I arrived early and he was able to check me in, which I greatly appreciated after traveling for 12 hours. The infinity pool was clean and relaxing. I stood there in relaxation mode as I listened to the birds chirping and zoomed in on Pico mountain straight ahead. The hotel has a decent breakfast spread which I treated myself to one day. There is a small bar for cocktails and hot beverages. There is no restaurant. However, there are three restaurants in walking distance and several more in neighboring towns by car. Pedro will assist with reservations and taxis as needed. My experience was truly magical. The hospitality and attention grabbed my attention. This will absolutely be my hotel of choice of I'm ever on the island again.

Beautifully renovated former mansion with stunning views of sea and island of Pico
