LOCATION

Our pension is located in a quiet dead end road and so close to the ocean that you can hear and see the waves breaking against the shoreline.

 

All shops, restaurants and tour operators are only a few minutes' walk away. The famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of the unique wine growing on Pico can be reached within 10 minutes.

 

Just 200 m from our the ‘Calma do Mar’ you will find a swimming pool including natural pools and  another public bathing area of Madalena. With its selection of good and original restaurants and tour providers for hiking, trips to the Atlantic and diving, Madalena offers the ideal basis for your vacation in the Azores.

 

From here you can easily get to the other islands of the central group with the daily ferry connections.


We are happy to help you to find the right flight connection.

Public transport

There are two buses circling pico island two times per day. One of them goes from Madalena to Piedade and back following the north coast. The other bus line takes the south route from Madalena to Ribeirinha and back. Although the buses are a nice way to circle the island and they are a good possibility to get you somewhere you will not have much time at any stop if you still want to make it back to Madalena the same day. The timetables are published here: http://www.cristianolimitada.pt
