ABOUT
Our story
Room in Pico Hostel is located where it all began — next to the Ermida da Estrela, in Toledos, where the first settlement in the region emerged. From here, life expanded to Madalena and Pico wine began its long journey to the Vatican and Russia. Staying here means sleeping on history.
Located in a historic and peaceful area of Pico Island, Room in Pico Hostel offers comfortable rooms with quick access to nature, culture and adventure. Just 3 km from Madalena, close to the airport, Pico Mountain and the World Heritage vineyards, the hostel is ideal for travelers seeking authenticity and contact with the local environment. Guests can explore trails, natural pools, whale watching, wine culture and much more — all just minutes away.
