Your dream holidays in Pico Island, Azores - 5 minutes from water and mountain

The house emerges from the revitalization of a ruin that after more than 30 years of abandonment, was fully recovered gaining new life, with two rooms available for guests. For the reconstruction, we used local materials, incorporating the house and the magnificent scenery surrounding the area of Winery. The house owes its name to a huge fig that existed inside the house while it was in ruins, occupying the entire area of the kitchen. In the process of rebuilding the tree removed from the inside, but today the fig grows again on the outside of the house, offering in late September figs of excellent quality.

I have been doing holidays in Azores for 20 years, until one day we decide to by a ruin to rebuild. After traveling to all Azorean islands we choose Pico because it's pure nature and people are really nice. Nature, Mountain, Sea, Tradition, Adventure, outline in simple words the Pico Island. Reasons enough for us to rescue an old cottage, creating an element integrated into the rural heritage of Pico Island.

Land of Tradition and Culture, allows you to find stories of other times, about life in Pico, the Mountain, the fishing of whales. Pico is an amazing island we have to confess we believe that's one of treasures of nature, and to be completely honest we believe that the place we have the house (Calheta de Nesquim) is one of the most beautiful places in the island. Pico is an island where the most striking features are the rural and the whaling tradition, together with an unusual situation in nature in its raw state, where in fact you can walk into many places where human intervention is very low. People are generally very friendly, yet reserved on first contact. Like to welcome and to be helpful with those who arrive, and in a short time it’s possible to build a nice relation. On the activities actually taking place at Pico, I suggest that you visit the tourist offices, in our case is the closest of Lajes do Pico, where they can request information about the parties on the island at the time of your visit.

So disappointed! Only 2 rooms, not 3. Deceitfull
The house location was good, the village and the natural pool very nice. *****BUT****** the house was not at all the one described. Only 2 rooms instead of 3 announced ! The third room behind the house was closed and, when we found the key, what a surprise ! A very bad surprise ! It seems to be abandoned for several years. All inside was so wet, moldy and dirty. There were old and used sheets on the bed.... it was awfull ! The ground floor front bedroom's shower was dirty, we had to wash it to be able to use it and the room was very wet. We met nobody during all the week ; only an old woman the first day who didn't speak english at all. We felt we were note expected and that the house was no more rent for a long time. What a disappointment for us ! All was perfect in the Azores except this house.*** Please, avoid it.*** There are plenty other nice places.

Quiet paradise, views to die for, serine swimming hole
This place was wonderful. We arrived to a basket filled with fresh bread, cheese, wine, and jam. They were all delicious. The views were magnificent! The location was perfect for those looking to get away from it all. There's the best swimming hole right down the street about a 1 min drive. The swimming hole has bathrooms, a slide, and a bar. I have nothing negative to say about this place. I wish I could live there.

Best place ever!
This is one of the most beautiful places we've ever been! The great view over the ocean from the breakfast table... watching Dolphins from the house.. everything very clean and tasteful decorated. It really felt like home! A place were you will find rest and where you can enjoy all beauty of nature! The temperature was great during our stay and we could cool down in the natural pool close by. This is for sure a place we will come back!

Dream Holidays
We have 3 kids and this was everybody's first time in Azores. We decided to stay in Pico and just travel for a day trip to the surrounding Islands Faial and S. Jorge. This was a good decision because boats are easy and Pico is a wonderful place to stay, culturally very rich. To stay in this cottage "Adega da Figueira" was just perfect. They have all the facilities to the kids, a nice environment inside and out and the perfect sea view. We felt home while in there. The person in charge of the accommodations is a local and it is very nice and was always trying to please our needs. Definitely we'll go back.

Qiuet place with a fantastic view!
A Adega da Figueira tem uma localização fabulosa. Ao acordar a porta logo se abria para gozar a magnífica paisagem. Os proprietários são pessoas muito simpáticas e prestáveis. Todas as dicas foram fabulosas e importantes. Adorámos o restaurante " O Ponta da Ilha" na Manhenha. Whale watching e a subida ao Pico foram momentos inesquecíveis, apesar do grau de dificuldade na subida à montanha. Enfim foi muito agradável mas ficou ainda muito por ver, apesar de já ser a 3ª vez que fomos ao Pico!

Verified traveller

For those who deserve
Fantastic price/quality relation. Friendly and available enviroment created by the owners. We feel like taking care of the house as if it was our own and obviously is all worthwhile regarding the island where the house is located at. Don´t forget to try "frei gigante" the best buy choice Azorerian wine.

Schönes Haus, in sehr schöner Lage mit super Ausblick von der Terrasse direkt auf das Meer!
Alle Gerätschaften vorhanden, Dusche etwas klein und umständlich aber ok. Lage, Ruhe und Ausblick sind perfekt! Ich würde wieder buchen.

Toller Urlaub Danke Maria für die Zeit in Deinem schönen Ferienhaus
Das Ferienhaus war in TIP TOP Zustand. Alles Sauber und aufgeräumt.Jedes Schlafzimmer mit eigenem Entfeuchter für den Fall der Fälle.(Haben wir nicht gebraucht) EIn Elektroheizkörper wäre ebenso vorhanden.(Haben wir nicht gebraucht.) Die Küche mit allem ausgestattet.(Müsst halt auch in die vielen Schubladen und den nicht mehr benutzten Kamin schauen:)).Selbst ein Riesentopf für unsere Langusten direkt und frisch vom Hafen war vorhanden.Einzigst ein Kaffefilteraufsatz und die dazugehörigen Filtertüten fehlten. DIe waren aber auch in ganz Pico nicht aufzutreiben. (Also mitnehmen wenn der gute Sicalkaffe aufgebrüht werden soll)Der 4-Flammengasherd ist gewöhnungsbedürftig und nix für Kinderhände,hat uns aber für unsere Rinderfilets Langusten und Spaghetti..... gereicht.)Selbst ein gut ausgestattetes Nähkästchen habe ich am letzten Tag nett drappiert entdeckt.Das WLAN funktionierte einwandfrei.EIn CD Spieler mit Radio ist auch da und selbst CDs mit Rockmusik sind vorhanden. (WIr hatten uns am FLughafen bereits eine eigene AzorenlokalmusikCD gekauft die uns die schönen Abende auf der überdachten Terrasse beschallte ) DIe 3 Schlafzimmer sind sauber und nett eingerichtet und haben je eigene Duschen und Toiletten.Duschen sind etwas klein reicht aber.Die Betten auch etwas schmal für ein Doppelbett. Reicht aber.(Man ist ja endlich im Urlaub::). Das Zimmer im Obergeschoss ist das "Materzimmer" und sehr gross. Badehandtücher waren im Überfluss vorhanden.Die Betten wurden von den Hausherren einmal neu bezogen.Kinderbett/Laufstall waren im oberen Zimmer bereitgestellt. Es gibt einen Raum im EIngangsniveau der mit einer Wachmaschine und allem möglichen Werkzeug austgestattet ist. Die Terassen und der Grillplatz haben eine perfekte Ausrichtung zum Atlantik mit schönem Blick über das abfallende Gelände und lassen keinen Wunsch offen.Wir haben mit unserem Fernglas (Nikon bis 20 fache Vergrösserung) im Wechsel die Delfine und Wale begeistert beobachtet. Selbst mit blossem Auge waren Sie zu erkennen. Die Hausherrin fragte gelegentlich ob alles in Ordnung ist.Wir waren wunschlos glücklich. Der hauseigene Stellplatz direkt am Haus ist für ein Mietauto ausreichend.Unser 2. Mietauto konnten wir etwas weiter unten in einem Nebenweg abstellen. Zu Fuss (15 Min) oder mit dem Auto(5 Min) gibt es "unten" am Atalntik die POCOBAR (auch Essen) und einen tollen Naturbadepool. nochmals vielen lieben Dank von uns allen.(Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und ein Kleinkind).

Belle vue, mais prestation a revoir
Si nous avons apprécié la vue sur caletha do nesquim, et l'appartement en haut, en revanche, l'humidité et l'absence de ménage dans la chambre du bas nous a fait regretter cette location. vu le prix demandé, c'est inacceptable. nous avons eu tout loisir d'admirer des blattes se baladant le long du mur, surement suite au grand nettoyage que nous avons fait en bas. Bref, le cadre était idéal, mais le reste... Je ne recommande pas.

A tasteful place for a relaxing holiday
We spent 10 days in Adega da Figueira in October/November 2012. We estimated the comfort and the interior arrangement, which is made flavored and with affinity for the history of the place. Unfortunately we didn`t use the big terrace often, because it was raining mostly. But we saw bats (endemic animal of Pico!) and dolphins, the Atlantic ocean by storm! We recommend Adega da Figueira for everybody who enjoys to stay in a quite place middle in a small village near the sea and the highland of the wonderful Pico Island. The natutural swimming pool, the fantastic landscape in the highlands and the Atlantic are fantastic. We thank to Fernando and Maria for the warm and friendly welcome.
