My Bed in Pico

We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Pico! We were on the very top floor — be aware there are stairs, so carrying luggage up and down can be a bit of a workout. We had requested the room with the washing machine, which was perfect for us as we were traveling light throughout the islands. There’s no dryer, but it was manageable. The linens, towels, and bathrobes were of luxury quality and beautifully presented on our double bed. There’s also a lovely seating area where you can relax, read a book, or simply enjoy the view. The kitchen is fully equipped. We enjoyed our morning coffee inside before heading out to a nearby bakery for breakfast. There are also two local supermarkets with great cafeterias serving clean, local food at very reasonable prices. The living area has a good-quality TV with access to many American shows as well as local channels. The bathroom was modern, with a powerful hair dryer (better than most hotels!). When we needed extra towels, it was no problem. Housekeeping is done every two days, though we opted out. Deborah was a super host — incredibly accommodating and kind. She even allowed us a late checkout on Sunday, which we were beyond grateful for. Don’t miss the nearby local wine-tasting spots within walking distance, natural pools, scenic lookout bar, and the wine museum — all worth visiting! Whether you drive around the island or hire a guide, you’ll discover unbelievable views and hidden gems. A side note: there’s a great restaurant downstairs where we ate twice (and others nearby). The host can recommend local eateries. Lastly, if you’re catching a ferry, double-check the location and schedule. Ours was changed from São Roque to Madalena due to weather, and with no taxis available, we were at the mercy of anyone who could drive us there. Overall, an excellent stay — comfortable, well-appointed, and hosted by someone who truly cares about her guests

We stayed in the suite on the 3rd floor with a view over the town we could see Faial. Our host met us to make sure all was all right and in working order. She gave us guidance about the town and opportunities and worked withus to store our luggage as our flight left late. The full kitchen was great and the sitting area provided a much needed spot for reflection and watching the ocean and the evening rain over Faial.

This has been our favorite place we stayed during our ten days in the Azores. We stayed in the suite on the top floor, which has a fantastic view of the church and Faial Island. They were so accommodating, our flight didn't leave until 7 PM, and they let us leave our luggage for the day and came back to have it waiting for us curbside. So charming!

Delightfully different accommodations, above O Cinque restaurant. Staff are helpful and always available on WhatsApp. My friend in the Patterns room had no issues with the restaurant below. We enjoyed my balcony on the second floor, facing Pico. Coffee and tea station on each floor is welcome. Pastelaria is a block away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at My Bed In Pico. It was such a quaint and affordable hotel and so close to the Pier and downtown shops. The little restaurant was always busy and the food exceptional. Our host Debra was so kind and helpful with all our needs. Our room was spotless and we had everything we needed. We definitely will stay there again on our next vacation to Pico! FRED AND CHARLENE CORMIER NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA

This is a boutique hotel in the center of Medeiros, on the western end of Pico Island Azores. The entire hotel has just undergone a complete renovation. Each room is individually themed. First impressions are how clean everything is. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is modern, with a stand-up shower. Bring your220/110 converter for recharging your electronics. Coffee service is shared in each hallway. Expect European style coffee. No Starbucks here. Awesome resteraunt downstairs, but make reservations for dinner. Weather in October is humid and 23c. Finding the hotel is a challenge, especially at night. The entrance is beside the resteraunt downstairs and hard to notice with all the patrons milling around. Big sign in front. Nowhere to drop luggage off. You have to block street to do that. An awesome clerk will meet you at the door, to check in. It's imperative that you contact the hotel when you arrive at Pico Airport. We rented a car. I suggest you do not. There's very little parking nearby. It's a very small, European style town, with extremely narrow streets and aggressive local drivers.All rentals here are standard shift. Everything you need is walking distance from the hotel. Take advantage of all the tours available. There's another island a short boat ride across the channel. Highly recommend this hotel if you enjoy a smaller hotel, centrally located.
