Just south of Madalena on Pico Island is the Criação Velha wine region. We turned off the main road onto a narrow road with dry basalt stone walls guarding vines on either side. It led out to the coastline where old lava patches meet the ocean and overlook Faial Island. The late afternoon sun rays made the landscape glisten and I had a strong urge to work on a (my own?!) vineyard here some day.

Similar to a few other areas of the island, the land is divided up into small rectangular plots by piles of volcanic rock (basalt). It's a centuries-old practice to protect the vines from the strong ocean winds and salt water spray as well as warm the grapes.

"A estadia coreu bem, no entanto notamos que os lençóis das camas são ásperos e que a limpeza não estava a 100%, nomeadamente armários e gavetas com pó e restos de baratas. Todos os dias tivemos de matar várias baratas."

Azoris Faial Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, we had a nice room with a beautiful view!"

Pico Vineyards

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful property that opened 10 days before we stayed, so they were still working out little issues. The staff was very solicitous and the wine tasting in the cave was a really nice experience. The pool for the main rooms is indoor and lovely. The VIP rooms have their own small pools. The breakfast on the terrace was lovely. There is no outdoor pool, bar or restaurant. "

Pico Dreams - Sportfish

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and check-in experience. We enjoyed the individual rooms with a common kitchen. Nice comfortable rooms with kitchen and large seating area inside and out with a view. Each room had a refrigerator area and cabinet shelf assigned for their use. Guests were respectful and kind and it was great to meet people from other countries in this unique hotel experience. We highly recommend Pico Dreams. "

Sara Village

8/10 Good

"We were warmly welcomed by Miguel, the owner/manager of the place. We experienced a slight inconvenience with our room at arrival, but Miguel quickly offered us a solution, which was suitable and much appreciated. The view from the terrace was incredible! This is related to the town and not to the lodging, but for dining options, at the time of the year that we went (early June) there were not much choices. But overall, a good experience! :)"

Ocean View Pico

10/10 Excellent

"Nico and Eunice's property is as shown on the listing. The view is spectacular and the location if perfect for walking to town, restaurants, ferry and the wine museum. Nico was incredibly helpful with suggestions ahead of time and while we were there. He was also very responsive to any questions or left us a nice welcome gift of local items upon our arrival. Our family had a great time at this property and found it to be a perfect location to explore the Madalena end of the island as well as the rest of the island via car. The island is a wonderful place with great hiking, a vineyard to walk through and many other sites/experiences. We would strongly recommend staying at this property."
