Villa holiday rentals in Pico Island

We loved the house. It was perfect for our family. Close to everything we needed

We had a lovely time! The home was clean, spacious, and the views were amazing!

We loved our stay at the Lava Homes! It was much too short but will definitely be back. Ana, who checked us in was awesome and very helpful. The house was pristine and you can't beat the view. I will recommend the Lava Homes to all of my friends. The Magma restaurant was outstanding as well.

We stayed Sept 1-Sept 6 as part of a 2 week trip to Madeira & Azores. Our other accommodations were hotels on either end of our trip. It was a lovely change to have a house in between. The space was perfect for my husband and me! The house is what we in New Hampshire, USA refer to as a “camp”-seasonal home, casual comfort (not luxury) with all of the basics. We prepped a couple of simple meals. The neighbors are close and seemed friendly. We were out exploring each day so did not interact. Someone does have chickens and a rooster. That didn’t bother us. I read a review complaining of bugs. We saw none except one tiny spider on the last day. The house was very clean and a great home base for our Pico adventures. Tips: Keep the key with you because it was easy to get locked out. (Our bad-Thank you Ana for being so responsive). Need a car. There’s a decent market 5-10 minutes away heading west on ER1. We found a supermarket 20 minutes away in Madalena that was better.

Nice place with beautiful views! Exactly what we expected. We would come back without hesitation.

Very cute place, we really enjoyed our stay here! Maria was accommodating and helpful throughout our stay and the place had everything we needed. Would recommend!

Nelson is a great host. the location was great and super easy to use as a base to explore the island. supermarket was also near as well as the city center. this is a great location for families with kids, as the house has a separate garden away from the road.

It was a perfect family time in the quiet and beautiful place. Helped us to renew our energy. Maria and Beatrix were super nice and helpful all the time and responded quickly

Beautiful place inside out. Very well located in between the view of Pico and the sea. We couldn’t find a better place to visit the island.

The views from our Lava home were absolutely incredible! The free breakfast was good ,loved the Portuguese pastries and cake .All the staff that we encountered were pleasant and helpful . We ate at Magma several times and the food was very good . The only thing we didn’t like was the mattress,just a bit firm for us .

Our vacation with Grandma and Grandpa was a great experience on the island of Pico and in the wonderful house of James. The house with pool was our favorite in the selection, so there is something for everyone. View, swimming area, pool, cozy retreats in the house and in front of it. It has everything you want. Only the weather cannot be influenced and therefore we still have an account to settle with Montana de Pico. That's why we'll come back and, if possible, definitely to James'.

This is an incredible property. Every detail has been thought of. The views are insane and the house is decorated impeccably. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food at Magma, their onsight restaurant, was the best we had in Pico. The pool and yoga studio, just breath taking. We loved our entire stay here and will return. Like others have said, the driveway is steep. Grab an automatic or be proficient with your manual car. We had a 7 person manual van and managed fine but we are comfortable with manual drive. Highly recommend!!! We didn't want to leave.

My wife and I planned this trip in 2019 for 2020 and COVID happened. We replanned and made it to Pico this week. It was worth the wait. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful. The staff were superb. The food at their Magma restaurant was delicious. Everyone was friendly wherever we went. Can’t say enough good things about. Fair warning… it is very very hilly on Pico. Even walking up and down the hill between our “house” and Magma was challenging. But,as I said, it was well worth it.

Proactive, communicative, and super organized hosts. They’ve thought of all the details and even welcomed us with some treats from the island. Clean space. Their recommendations were helpful. Great location - walking distance to the vineyards. Couldn’t be happier with this stay!

Very available for communications and helpful.

The location of Lava Homes is very unique. The view is stunning. The property is immaculate. It takes your breathe away to see the summit of Pico Mountain to your left and the island of Sao Jorge in front of you across the Atlantic. It’s worth the price for the uniqueness of this property.
