Pocinhobay

A ten out of ten. Such a unique spot on the island of Pico! Each room feels like it is on its own. Lots of places to relax on the property. They don’t serve dinner but it is not a problem as town is a beautiful walk away. Will definitely return. And definitely come to Pico if you are coming to the Azores.

Beautiful place by an amazing bay with clear waters and great views. Luisa and José did an amazing job restoring an old, abandoned property and its vineyard. By the way, their wines are very good. Magical place, hope to be back some day.

This is a special place, truly unique. The owners are lovely and gracious.

Fantastic stay

The best hotel in all the Azores. The atmosphere and character were something special. The room was our own building, beautifully decorated - the grounds and pool areas were serene and peaceful. This hotel is located right on the coast and a short drive from the city. This experience was one of our top highlights in our 17 day trip around the Azores. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating. This is a one-of-a kind place and will always hold a special place in our travel memories.

You feel you’re inside a postcard when you stay at Pocinho Bay. We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting the island with the goal of climbing Pico. The location is absolutely unique, right by the water, near a natural pool, and with the most amazing views of Faial - the island opposite Pico. It is also located in an area that is protected and considered a world landmark - the pico vineyards, which are planted in between blocks of lava rocks and very very close to the sea. In the evening you can hear all the sea birds singing which is also a unique experience. The hotel is small and run by a super friendly and charming couple who will welcome you exceptionally well. Luisa was extremely helpful giving us tips of where to go for dinner or visit and about our hike to climb pico. The decoration is also very unique, with artefacts and photos from all over the world, collected by the owners themselves. The service is friendly and efficient. Anabela always available to help. Breakfast was excellent. The highlights for me were the eggs cooked on demand, the coffee, the homemade cake, the local cheese and the fruit salad. Overall our experience was excellent and we plant to be back when we visit pico again.
