Hotels near Pico Airport - PIX, Madalena

You just can´t go wrong! When on the island it one of the most balanced and coziest places to stay. The food is home made like grandma quality with a morden twist. It’s my preferred spot with the best meat and the freshest fish and the best azorean secret “Lapas”. The wow factor is there. i’ve just come back!

The accommodation is few km's from Madelena and, to be flexible, you need a car to get there. Nice to walk over the lava boulders, enjoy the view at Failal and Sao Jorge. Go to the Terra Alto, nice quiet landscape.

I am rating PICO, not Santa Luzia. Santa Luzia is a small village and good startpoint, close to airport. If you want to go walking to the top of Pico, take walking shoos with you. Otherwise you are not allowed to do the walking. We recommend to visit Cella Bar Restaurant in Madalena. Nice view, nice food and a place to take a bath. Santa Luzia is a small place. To get around of the Pico island you need the car. The children liked the baths in the hot tubes.

The place is very small, and there was just 1 cafè and 1 snack bar. Though, consdering Pico is a 15k people islands, we found there more than strolling around the rest of the island. Just be ready and don't expect restaurants or big facilities that, on the other side, once you know it, maybe it'is also what I liked the most
