Ribeira Seca Hotels, Calheta

"The Casa do Ze is very well equipped with all utensils and essentials for cooking your own meals. The coffee maker is a moka pot, (first time using one) that makes great espresso. Bathroom supplies are also provided. The Casa is located at the end of a street and is a renovated old home, so it's more authentic than some other stays. The communication with the owner was excelent. WiFi was OK but sometimes cut out. Also, hot water supply was finicky as sometimes there would be plenty and other times none."

"Perfect place to have a peaceful & enjoyable vacation😊"

"This was a no-frills, simple hotel. It was a great value, and was clean, quiet, and relaxing. The staff were so kind, and laid back. The view from the patio in our room was lovely. The shared kitchen area was a nice place to cook a meal, and there were three adorable cats around the property who we loved petting. The location was great for exploring various parts of Pico. "

"Quiet, beautiful comfortable space. Piedade is a gem, and the house was modern, cozy and provided all we needed for our stay. Isa is great, accomodating and kind and I appreciated her knowledge and warm personality. Pico deserves extra time to explore, it has hidden surprises and I'll definitely visit again and book the same place. Thank you Isa! "

"Exceeded expirations. Owner is beautiful, staff very helpful and customer oriented. On main hwy which is convenient but can be noisy. View is exceptional. Highly recommend!"

"Great location in Velas, beautiful property with pool, sitting deck with ocean view, sunsets and Morro Grande view and hiking within 10 minutes walk. Close to supermarket and restaurants, ideal location in Velas. Good buffet breakfast. Beds were a little too firm for me but great for my partner...highly recommended for location, cleanliness and great staff! "

"Excellent house! Second time staying here and it was just as great as the first stay. Amazing view!"

"Adega Velha is a wonderful place to escape to and enjoy the island of Pico. Hosts Fátima and Helio were so welcoming and helpful. Morning coffee on the patio with great ocean views, swimming in the ocean, hiking….lasting memories. Thank you!"

"Place is pretty beat up and could use some maintenence for sure. Oh, and the fire alarm was going off for a solid 3 hours in the middle of the night which made it pretty tough to sleep. Otherwise not too shabby. "
