Madalena

"The place is beautiful, in a great location, private and secluded, with nice amenities such as hot tubs, pool, wood BBQ. It looks just like the pictures and overall, we enjoyed our stay. But, - very limited hot water. Takes long to warm up and then only lasts 5 minutes. Not enough for 2 showers. We could only fill the amazing bath up a few inches before it got cold, so kind of useless. - lots of ants, and when we complained, we were told to deal with it ourselves - there was a birds nest...

Pico Vineyards

10/10 Excellent

"The boutique 12-room hotel exceeded our expectations in all respects. Large, brilliantly clean, private room with its own pool and patio. Bedroom, living room, large bathroom. Even an outdoor shower! Superb breakfast. Very helpful staff."

Hotel do Canal

8/10 Good

"Nicely located, convenient with underground parking. The breakfast buffet was a nice and complementary pastries and water bottle in the room. Inside of hotel and room, it was a bit outdated, but still comfortable for 2 nights. Awesome shower pressure! Nice view on Pico Island from their terrace. Overall, I’d go back."

The Book Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Every single staff member was warm and welcoming. The hotel is well-maintained and the room was very clean. The Japanese toilet in the room was a nice amenity, and toiletries were also available on the bathroom counter. The bed was comfortable and I like the different lighting options you can use. The pool was my favorite feature of the hotel. It's on the roof where you can also access the spa. The pool and hot tub are connected so you can easily switch from one to the other. It's a small, shallow pool, so there is no diving and not much room to swim - all you can pretty much do is just float in the pool, which is really all you need. The hotel is a block away from a park/garden and a couple of blocks away from the marina. Everything is walkable. The front desk staff were very helpful. They gave me great suggestions for restaurants, shopping, and even helped me reserve a taxi tour of the island. I will definitely be staying here again."

St. John's House

10/10 Excellent

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in São João?

The best area to stay in São João is the main village centre, particularly around the harbour and the area leading up Rua Direita.

This central part of São João is where you'll find the majority of amenities and activities. It's a compact area, making it very walkable, with shops, eateries, and tour operators all within easy reach of the harbour. The village church, Igreja de São João Baptista, is a prominent landmark, and you'll often find local events happening in the square nearby.

Couples looking for a convenient and relaxing stay will find this area ideal. You're perfectly placed to book boat trips for whale watching or exploring the nearby islands, and evenings can be spent enjoying a meal with views of the harbour. It offers a comfortable base for exploring the island.

For families, staying in the village centre provides easy access to everything you might need. The close proximity of restaurants means less travel time with little ones, and it's simple to arrange activities suitable for all ages directly from the harbour.

When is the best time to go to São João?

The best time to visit São João, Azores, Portugal, is typically from late spring to early autumn, specifically from May to October.

During these months, the weather is generally warmer and more settled, with less rainfall. This period is ideal for enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, whale watching, and exploring the island's natural beauty. The sea temperatures are also more inviting for swimming and other water sports.

For couples seeking a relaxing and scenic getaway, late May and early June offer pleasant weather before the peak summer crowds. You'll find the island's lush landscapes at their most vibrant, and it's a lovely time for coastal walks and enjoying the local cuisine in a more tranquil setting.

Families often find July and August to be the most convenient for a holiday due to school breaks. While these months are the busiest, the consistent warm weather means more opportunities for beach days, exploring volcanic caves, and participating in boat tours.
