Avo House

What a great host and the setting was absolutely heavenly. We came so my wife and daughters experience Pico as it was the home of my Avo and Ava who where from Lages do Pico and they get to know there heritage. We will return again for a much longer stay and the people of the Pico are warm and friendly will to assist. The food was spectacular and it brought me back to my childhood growing up in a Azorean Portuguese family in California. Thank you and my Gods Blessings be with all in the Pico.

5 Stars Accomodations

We spent 4 days at CASA DO AVÔ FAIDOCA and CASA DO CANTO and had a wonderful time. The views are superb, rooms clean, services excellent (e.g., internet), parking ample, and Adelina is a gracious host. This is 5-star living in a memorable setting. I highly recommend staying here!

Obrigada Adelina! Tolles Ferienhaus mit Meerblick

Aufgrund unserer sehr guten Erfahrungen im letzten Jahr haben wir dieses Jahr nochmals 11 Tage im Casa do Avo Faidoca verbracht. Das Haus liegt in einem kleinen ruhigen Dorf an der Südostküste von Pico, abseits der Touristenströme. Von hier aus kann man herrliche Wanderungen unternehmen. Mit der Poca das Mujas steht ganz in der Nähe auch eine wunderschöne Felsbadebucht zur Verfügung. Gegenüber können in einem kleinen Laden die notwendigsten Lebensmittel eingekauft werden. Ein gutes Fischrestaurant ist in Mahenha (ca 10 Minuten mit dem Auto) erreichbar. Wir hatten die größere Wohnung gemietet. Sie verfügt über eine große, vollständig ausgestattete Küche, 2 Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbetten, 1 Schlafzimmer mit Einzelbett und weitere Schlafgelegenheiten (zwei Einzelbetten) auf einer großen Empore über der Küche, 2 Badezimmer mit Dusche und WC und 1 Wohnzimmer mit TV etc. Waschmaschine sowie verschiedene Möglichkeiten zum Trocknen der Wäsche (auch überdachter Bereich) sind vorhanden. Im Außenbereich gibt es 2 Terrassen mit direktem Meerblick, einen gemauerten Grillplatz, einen Gasgrill sowie eine Außenspüle. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Zum Anwesen gehört ein großer Garten, aus dem sich die Feriengäste mit Tomaten, Kartoffeln, etc. bedienen können. Die Besitzerin versorgte uns darüber hinaus mit Feigen, Trauben, Bananen aus eigenem Anbau, selbstgemachter Marmelade, Wein und nützlichen Informationen. Adelina ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit und hat immer ein offenes Ohr für die Anliegen der Feriengäste. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und werden, falls es uns nochmals nach Pico verschlägt, wieder die Casa do Avo Faidoca mieten. Due to our excellent experience last year we have spent another 11 days at Casa do Avo Faidoca. The house is located in a small quiet village on the southeast coast of Pico. From here you can make nice walking tours. The Poca das Mujas – a beautiful natural pool - is very close. Approximately 30m from the house there is a small shop, where the most necessary food can be purchased. A good fish restaurant is available in Manhenha (about 10 minutes with the car). The rooms were very clean. There are 2 terraces with sea view, a brick barbecue, a gas grill and an outdoor sink. From the large garden the vacationers can pick tomatoes, potatoes, etc.. Adelina provided us with homegrown fruits, homemade jam, wine and useful information. She is very nice and helpful and always has an open ear for the concerns of vacationers. We felt very comfo

Perfeita!

Uma casa muito bem localizada, espaçosa (2 quartos duplos, 1 individual e 1 c/ 2 camas, cozinha enorme, sala e 2 casas de banho) e impecavelmente limpa. Jardim e horta com ervas aromáticas. Vista de mar muito bonita numa aldeia encantadora. A D. Adelina é uma anfitriã excepcionalmente simpática, apaixonada por animais e pela Ilha do Pico. Adorámos tudo!
