Guest Reviews

• ANNA (10/5): Genial - Muy tranquilo,por la noche se escuchaban los cagarraos cantar La atención y conversacion de señor Jose
• Inês (10/5): -
• Marie (8/5): RAS - L’accueil et le souci d’être serviable
• Jose (10/5): -
• catarina (8/5): -
• Silva (10/5): Sentir que estou em casa - Nem tenho palavras para descrever,a simpatia do sr. Senti me em casa
• sarah (6/5): Belle vue mais équipements à revoir - Une belle vue sur l'océan et São Jorge. Endroit avec un gros potentiel. Douche qui fuit, robinet du lavabo abîmé ( mal fixé). Très mauvaise insonorisation avec les chambres mitoyenne. Chambre pas très grande quand vous avez plusieurs valises..
• Markus (7/5): pretty and quiet location - very quiet location rather basic beds, matress
• Bianca Ladina (7/5): - Our room was very nice with high ceilings and the beds were really comfy. Altough the father of the owner seems really nice, there is a significant language barrier as he didn't speak english. We could make it work with french, but beware of misunderstandings.
• Astrid (9/5): - La disponibilité de l'hôte, la situation pittoresque de l'hébergement. Une petite bouilloire pour faire chauffer un thé où un café serait un petit plus.
• Pablo (7/5): - Zona tranquila. La limpieza se puede mejorar.
• Antonio (5/5): -
• jaglezchus (9/5): Atrapados en Pico - Reservamos el alojamiento sobre la marcha porque nos habían cancelado el vuelo de retorno. El anfitrión nos atendió estupendamente y nos dió todas las facilidades para que disfrutáramos de la estancia. La casa es pintoresca con decoración clásica pero con todos los detalles de un hotel moderno. La lejanía respecto al centro del pueblo. Aunque está ubicada en un sitio tranquilo y con unas preciosas vistas.
• Carlos (8/5): - Bien El agua caliente
• Sandrine (8/5): Bel endroit mais trop cher. 150€ par nuit serait correct. - Le charme et l’authenticité du lieu Le prix, bien trop élevé pour le service. Il manquait des verres à dents, un distributeur de gel douche. Les protections de matelas, plastifiées sur un côté, sont très désagréables durant la nuit. Pour 250€/nuit!!!
• Mardi (1/5): Not up to the standards of the ratings - The view was really the only good thing about this place The smell in the bedoom - mouldy, rising damp. The smell in the bathroom was even worse. There were visible signs of mould and damp in the room and on the broken blind in the bathroom. There were no windows apart from one in the door, so no airflow and NO air-conditioning. The beds were very uncomfortable, and sheets were stained. We sat outside for most of the time we were there, but even the outdoor furniture was in a state of disrepair and falling apart. Overall this was nothing like the reviews I had read but we booked it last minute, so maybe the back house is the overflow.
• Lorenz (10/5): Exceptional - Charming bed and breakfast, we had room number 9 with a beautiful view of the sea. The room was airy, clean, comfortabel and well equipped, there was also a mini fridge and a space outside we could use. It‘s a calm place, you mostly only hear the chirping of the birds. Its a great location to explore Pico with a nice piscina naturalis within a 5 minute drive (we had a rental car). Breakfast is optional for 10€ per person, we found it to be well worth it with fresh fruit, avocados, fresh bread, pastries etc. The host gave us tips about a Festa nearby in Sao Roque which took place when we were there, he also is the director at a local news paper. Really happy with our stay with Jorge!
• Gerda (4/5): Disappointing - Nice Location, friendly Host No housekeeping for three days
• George (9/5): Amazing location… About 3 km from town. You need a car or it’s a good walk to get to and from. The host and management w - First off the staff… And Rodrigo were incredible. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay… It was very kind and helpful and even gave us a ride here and there. He and his father are doing a great job with the property. Great property.… It’s a older restored home with a lot of history. Great value.
• Gerald (9/5): Superb -
• Evi (4/5): Disappointing stay - The only thing we liked were the Cagarros-Azores night bird we could hear at night. The room had a smell of mold that made you cough and it was full of humidity and ants. There was no internet connection. My messages were not answered while we stayed there and the oldest French owner that answered the phone was very impolite.
• Andre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hana (8/5): Very good - The location was fine and the price for the service was reasonable. The stuff was very friendly It was very wet inside. The room didn't really correspond to the pictures.
• Hilah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Grassetti (8/5): Very good - location, room, bathroom no air conditioning
• Edny (10/5): Beautiful and authentic - Amazing views from the top house, very clean, autentic and the owner was really nice!
• Jane (10/5): Charming & peaceful place to stay. - Old world charm It's a bit isolated we had to drive 10 minutes to the only nearby restaurant
• Maximilian (10/5): Exceptional - Owner is Always willing to Help. Always a nice stay there. Amazing View onto the "Dragon" Sao Jorge
• Jakub (9/5): Superb -
• Neda (7/5): Good - Old fashioned house with a touch of history. Our room has his own exit. We didn't order breakfast, but we can use a kettle for making our own coffee The room has smell, and was cold.
• Gomes76 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pieter (4/5): Damp and moldy - The air was very damp and smelled like mold. There was indeed some black mold on the shower curtain and on the window curtain. Everything felt slightly damp in the room including our pillows. It was therefore extremely uncomfortable and hard to sleep. We woke up in the morning feeling nausea presumably because of the disgusting air. There was also a door to the outside that rattled loudly every time a gust of wind blew which also made it hard to sleep. Overall I would recommend finding different accommodations if you can. It may have just been a problem with this one room though
• Camerra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kateřina (9/5): A peaceful stay in a Portuguese style - I enjoyed the lovely Portuguese style of accomodation in a very calm and quiet area. Everything was superclean and very well maintained. I loved the dining room and its view to the patio. The view to Atlantico was breathtaking as well. I liked everything in this accomodation
• Jana (4/5): Book other accomodation - Internet and beds. Musty and damp room, which is located in a detached old building apart of the main building. The access is via irregular stairs, with no lighting and slippery when raining. Definitely not easy to access, moreover if you have to take your luggage with. The view which is so highlighted by the owner by other reviews is definitely not worth it - you will find much better spots on the island where you will be willing to spend time watching the ocean/Pico. Very bad light in the room and because there is also some old door with no insulation, you meet a number of insects/beetles in your room. There is a separate fridge in a “cellar” which we haven’t used (see photo). @booking.com - correct the description: 1. When booking this accomodation, you sent an email that they do not accept cash -> I assumed they accept cards then. But they don’t accept cards and push for a cash payment already during check-in. 2. Mention in the rooms offer, that people can be put in a detached building which is not easy to access. It would be fair to let people know this fact.
• Diana (7/5): Good - The property is nice, with nice view and in a very calm area. I think for this price, it needs some improvements, some things are old.
• Maud (9/5): Paradise! - The location of the hotel is like paradise! It is nice, clean and quiet. Also is the staff very helpfull! Without a car it is difficult to reach.
• Jim (9/5): A great spot to explore the island of Pico from. - On a quiet side street.
• Stephen (9/5): Superb - Owner was very helpful
• Fernando (10/5): perfect place to relax - free shuttle service from local town, transport hub.
• Arfruu (7/5): Good -
• Emil (7/5): Good -
• Anton (8/5): Nice accomondation in Pico - + Rodrigo and his family were always very helpful. + Room was comfortable - It was hard for us to communicate as no one can speak English very well. - If you want to go for dinner, the next Restaurants are more than 3 km away
• Andrej (9/5): Superb -
• Eglė (6/5): Pleasant -
• romain (10/5): Allez-y, c’est top! - Super séjour! Super accueil et supers attentions. Nous avions étendu notre linge le matin, le soir il était dans notre chambre! Nous avons aussi eu un petit cadeau en partant, super attention! La vue sur Sao Roque est super aussi!
• Ami (8/5): - 中心地から離れた小さな集落の中にあるので移動はタクシーかレンタカーに限られます。バスは１日2往復。でも日常の喧騒を忘れ、ゆっくり静養したい方にはおすすめです。素敵な設え、目の前に広がる大西洋。心身ともにリラックスしたい方に。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Casa con mucho encanto y vistas magnificas. Propietarios amabilísimos que se desviven por los huéspedes.
• Matt (8/5): Nice hotel - It is a very nice hotel decorated very tastefully. Also has an excellent sea view. The only issue we had was the room was a bit musty and mildewy smelling probably because it is on the coast and the ventilation isn't very good. They were also very nice to let use check in at 10 AM.
• Maarit (6/5): Eating fasilities - The room was a little dump, wonder that maybe we were rhe first visitors after wintertime. In the first night the bed feel dump and cold. The breakfast was okei. The commodation was far a way from anu restaurants or so. Could it be possible have information about nearest restaurants, snack bars and so on. There are not so many places to eat in Pico and the accommodation only have the br eakfast. Also it has to be said in advotising that guest have to have a car to get in there and to anywhere from there. Luckily we have rented a car, which we normally don' t have. Is it possible to have a grill in the garden or something?
• marc (6/5): Hôtel fantôme!!! - L'hôtel est assez éloigné de Sao Roque ,situé dans un village assez peu animé.La chambre au sous-sol est très humide.Il y a une porte d'accès direct à l'extérieur sur le parking.La déco de la chambre est "cosy" comme tout l'immeuble qui ressemble à une "maison de maître". Le petit déjeuner est convenable. Seul problème,l'hôtel est vide de personnel et on ne sait pas à qui demander des renseignements.De plus comme nous avions des questions relatives au "meilleur prix garanti / Hotels.com" l'affaire risque de prendre du temps... Avis très mitigé mais peut-être que nous n'avons pas fréquenté l'endroit à la bonne période.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff muito simpático, pequeno-almoço excelente, quarto muito bonito, limpo e agradável, ambiente familiar, boa casa de banho. Televisão com muitos canais. Difícil acesso para quem não tem carro.
• jm et m (8/5): Agréable, calme, trés bon Bien, propre et calme - Agréable, calme, propre, spacieux, excellent petit déjeuner, excellent accueil, pas simple à trouver, il faut se rendre dans le hameau de São Miguel Arcangio. Quelques odeurs d'humidité dues au climat extrêmement humide des Açores, demander d'aérer avant votre venue. Excellente adresse, on recommande.
• Krister (8/5): Pico - Mycket bra, lite utanför m härlig utsikt.
• Rasmus S (8/5): Godt hotel med meget rart personale. - Godt hotel. Meget venligt og hjælpsomt personale. Eneste kritikpunkt var morgenmaden, hvor det kunne være rart med frisk brød hver dag og en knap så kunstig appelsinjuice.
• David (10/5): Lovely Stay! - Roomed in the master bedroom with an ocean view for four nights. The room was enormous for two people! Washroom is freshly renovated and the breakfast served every morning was satisfying. You'll need to rent a car to get around. The closest town is two minutes away by car with a grocery being five minutes away.
• Andrew (8/5): Quiet coastal retreat - We wanted a quiet retreat for a short stay on Pico island. The shuttle from and to the airport helped us make the choice, as the hotel was on the edge of town, on the hillside overlooking the coast and Sao Roque harbour. Conditions were very quiet, essentially out of season, but we were very well treated by friendly staff.
• Chita (8/5): A las afueras de S. Roque, tranquilo y buena vista - Trato agradable, buena atención, cómodo,bonito, tranquilo,sin ruidos de coches,buenas vistas.
• William (10/5): Fantastic B&B - An exemplary experience. This family run B&B is immaculate and the helpfulness of the owners and staff is fantastic. I could not recommend this place more highly.
• Stefano (10/5): Confortevole e tranquillo - Si tratta di una vecchia casa signorile ristrutturata ed estremamente elegant. Anche la dependance in cui abbiamo dormito è comoda e tenuta ben pulita. La prima colazione è abbondante e varia. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Insomma un ottimo posto in cui riposare e da cui partire per esplorare l'isola di Pico.
• Anthony (10/5): Service navette et confitures maison ! - Très bonne qualité de service. Nous avons été accueilli dès notre arrivée en bateau par Rodrigo qui nous a ramené à l'hôtel. Les confitures maison du petit déjeuné sont à tomber!!!
• Barattini (4/5): rural - Nous y avons dormi deux nuits. Maison mal insonorisée, on entendait tout ce que disaient les voisins. Les chiens aboient durant la soirée et la nuit,  vraiment prévoir des boules quies.  La maison est belle mais vieille, meublée avec goût.  Très difficile a trouver et loin de tout. Le premier restaurant digne de ce nom est à 12 km. San Roque (le village le plus proche) est sans charme. A refaire nous aurons dormi ailleurs (Lajes p.ex.). En conclusion,  cette maison d hôtes ne vaut pas du tout le prix que nous l avions payée (plus de 130 euro la nuit) et nous avons été déçu.  Nous n y retournerons pas,  même si le monsieur responsable a été adorable.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely restored guest house - We had a very nice stay at Casa Do Comendador. The house is beautifully restored. The room was lovely and modern. The beds were very hard but that seems to be the style in the Azores. The location of the house is not very convenient if you do not have a car. You have to drive to get meals and for activities. The breakfast that was included was really terrific. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We were able to use the wifi and they have a computer for guest use. Overall a great stay.
• Marina (10/5): Un B&B da consigliare - Un B&B da consigliare per la cortesia dei proprietari e le buone colazioni. Le camere sono ampie, pulite.
