Nice large rental property in rural Prainha de Cima. Host was very nice and accommodating. Clean apartment with everything you need for comfortable stay. Day trips are easy to Horta or Velas on the ferries. Recommended. Great value.

Fantástico!
Alojamento com muito boas condições, num local fantástico e com uma vista sobre o canal entre Pico e São Jorge de cortar a respiração! Fomos muito bem recebidos pela D. Salomé, a nossa anfitriã, que é muito simpática e que fez sempre todo o possível para que nos fizéssemos sentir em casa. Uma experiência a repetir!
Wonderful accommodation in a great setting, with breathtaking view over the channel between Pico and São Jorge! We were very well received by our host, Salomé, who is very kind and made everything possible so we would feel at home. An experience to repeat, for sure!
