Pocinhobay

If you are looking for a place to really feel like you are on vacation and out of the "rat race", I would honestly recommend this beautiful place. The only request that I made was for feather pillows, which I really need to sleep well. And I got them. However there is so much more to appreciate here. Daily healthy breakfast buffets for starters. A relaxing pool that never seemed to be busy when we used it. Oceanside views and the call of their famous Shearwater birds, which might freak out some people, but I found their calls to be quite unique and charming. You are also steps away from an ocean swimming area, which is nice, but note that the water is pretty cold. Very nice hosts of this expansive property, which also is home to their own vineyard, which you can walk around and see. BTW, it's stunning. The room was comfortable, although mind you, the bed is quite firm. You can also schedule a massage with a little notice, but we did not have time to do that on this trip. We would definitely stay here again.

The best hotel in all the Azores. The a**osphere 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.

Nice and unique location next to the ocean. A bit secluded, but ok for a few days. Big, comfortable room, but lighting should be improved.

Amazing stay, very helpful hosts, hotel based on very fancy villa, beach is 10 meters , 10 min by car to the enter, location is perfect to go to other parts of island. Hosts Luisa and Jose help us a lot. Highly recommended.

Unique luxury.

This is undoubtedly a premium location in Pico Island. If you are looking for over the ocean personalised genuine yet modern accomodation this is it. However like in many pjaces around Pico to eat in house or have food service may be a struggle. So that all you get is breakfast and a honesty bar. If you are hungry you will have to leave the location and get to a somewhat nearby restaurant. This seems to be the pattern at most accomodations in Pico Island.? You will have breakfast maybe dinner and in between? Especially if you do not rent a car or are unwilling to drive it can prove to be a small challenge. Why not provide at least a bread and cheese fruit basket from this beautiful island?
