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.

Kleines Hotel in sehr guter Lage

Das Pocinho Bay Hotel hat nur 6 Zimmer, die sehr sauber sind, genauso wie die gesamte Anlage. Es gibt einen schönen Pool, wo jeder Gast einebequeme Liege findet. Die Zimmer sind gross und geräumig. Die Lage ist sehr schön: ruhig, etwa 10 min (Auto) von Madalena entfernt, direkt am Meer mit einer wenig besuchten Badebucht. In wenigen Schritten kommt man also vom Pool zum Baden im Meer. Das ist auf Pico wohl einmalig. Auch die Aussicht auf die Insel Faial ist wunderschön.

Exclusive and Charming stay in Pico Island

What a wonderful surprise finding Pocinhobay! The second you step into the property you can see that the owners run it with passion and love. From the amazing breakfast, to the wonderful stories and photos from the owner’s trips around the world, the tasteful decoration and very spacious rooms, we enjoyed every second we stayed here.

1 dia no Pico

Foi uma estadia muito boa, o nosso quarto estava logo disponivel quando chegámos, todos foram muito atenciosos, e indicaram-nos tudo o que podíamos visitar no pouco tempo que tínhamos. As instalacões são excelentes, as áreas comuns muito confortáveis e decoradas com muito bom gosto. A zona da piscina e o acesso à praia convidam a estadias mais prolongadas que infelizmente não foi possivel aproveitar na totalidade. Voltaremos de certeza a explorar o resto da ilha e ficaremos alojados no pocinho bay

Very unique with excellent staff with nice breakfast. The only draw back is everything else is a short drive away. We used taxi to get around for 3 days but recommend renting a car.
