The property was clean and well maintained. The owners have made every effort to ensure that you have everything that you need—reading lights on the headboard of the bed, hangers, plenty of dishes for our family. They live next door and are accessible but are respectful of your privacy. The view from the ftont porch is beautiful and the chickens come to visit!

We were welcomed by Stephie and Toni who live onsite with their pets which our children loved. They cottage was well equipped and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. Toni even booked our whale watching trip at a discounted price. Lots of leaflets and information about the area provided and two excellent local restaurants (Faia and Ponta de Ilha) within a short drive. Beautiful views down to the coast from the terrace too.

Toni and Steffi have built this space with love, and it shows in the attention to detail. What sets this place really apart from others is the presence of lots of information on Pico island and Piedade (hiking, wild life, flora, trips, shopping). The place is clean, and very complete. Due to the design, with careful airing and closing of curtains the place stays surprisingly cool. Toni and Steffi can offer excellent suggestions and reductions for local trips, such as whale watching and sailing from Lajes. A BBQ with home-made Bratwurst and bread was a very nice experience. The views are great, looking out over Calhau harbor and over to São Jorge Island. One thing to note: the owners have animals, including a quite social dog (Ronja) and cat (Mickey). Ronja loves to be patted and though our kids are not too fond of animals at the end fo the stay they could not wait to be greeted by Ronja. Mickey is clearly used to get food and will be waiting at food times. If you dont take care he will steal food from your plate. Both will enter the house if you leave the door open and unattended. We highly recommend this place, as well as Pico island.
