Lovely home in a beautiful location

We had such a relaxing stay at this beautiful home. My two kids loved the pool and the location next to the natural pools was amazing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Location Great Stay!

From the moment we arrived, we had a great time. The house was very well stocked and in a great location. Every morning I would take a 5 mile run on the trail around the corner from the house. It was close to a natural swimming pool which was perfect for the family. We also enjoyed using the pool and grill setup at the house. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful home, great location

This property is gorgeous! Tons of space and very close to Lajes for supplies. Would recommend as a home base for exploring the island. Had to supply our own paper products but that's noted by the property owner. James was very kind and easy and quick to communicate. Thanks again for letting us enjoy your home.

Pico Island Silveria

The house is lovely, well appointed and spacious. Walking path was accessible from ocean side and ocean swimming area very close. James was super accommodating and informative. Weather was not swimming weather but sitting poolside with a book and a glass of wine soaking in the evening rays and listening to the ocean waves crashing was most enjoyable.

Amazing holiday at La Casa do Ananas

We had a wonderful stay at La Casa do Ananas which is without any doubt the best holiday house we ever rented. The house architecture is stunning and fits perfectly in its environment. Sleeping rooms and bathrooms are spacious and extremely well equipped, just as the kitchen where everything you need is at your disposal. Outside our kids enjoyed the large swimming pool a lot with its beautiful views on the sea and the mount Pico. At 5 minutes from the house you can take a boat to observe the wonders of the Atlantic Ocean, we were lucky enough to see whales, 3 different species of dolphins and sea turtles! Our stay and the house both deserves a 5 stars rating, if I could I would certainly give a sixth one! Lastly, many thanks to James and Edna for your kindness and professionalism, you are great hosts and we are much looking forward to returning to La Casa do Ananas soon again! Thomas

Spacious clean house, with great pool area in lovely location on a beautiful island.

We stayed six nights, due to flight restrictions and very much enjoyed our time. We particularly enjoyed the space, the veranda, the pool are with barbecue and oven and the closeness to the sea/swimming area. There were a couple of minor frustrations - the bed configuration was not as described on Owner's Direct, it took a little while to find the light switches for the outside lights, there were very few household supplies left in the house necessitating an additional shopping trip to restock the property. Also the TV/DVD in the lounge was not working - but we did not miss it. These things prevent a 5* rating! WiFi was better than at home! We would consider a car essential when staying here.

Yes, it does exist! Breathtaking house on Pico Island.

Looking for places to stay on Pico Island, I thought, like someone else wrote in their review, this was too good to be true. But it is actually very much like in the pictures on the profile, and then some! Apart from the beauty of it, you can tell how thoughtfully this accomodation has been planned. Starting from the detailed and informative description on the profile and in the house book, the navigation instructions, the easy check in (key box) and - not to forget - the kind and helpful contact to the owners and their local family/staff that keep the property in shape. The house itself is situated in Silveira, about a 5 minute drive (yes, you absolutely need a car!) from Lajes, the local ex whalers village. You're right on the edge, directly next to the sea, maybe 100 meters away from an easily accessible bathing site (recommended at high tide). You can hear the sea and the Cory's Shearwater (owa ow ow). There is a hotel and restaurant in walking distance that we didn't visit. The layout of the house and pool area is extremely spacious. 2 rooms with A/C in an almost hotel-like configuration with personal bathrooms and 1 room for 2 people with an adjacent bathroom. A huge covered balcony with sea view and lounge furniture. The living room with 2 nice sofas and a big TV and internet router. A great pool deep enough to dive in with a relax and barbecue area. A kitchen with all the good stuff and a washer/dryer. More than enough (pool) towels! Hope to come back!!

Traumhafte Unterkunft

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der Casa do Ananas sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft ist ideal für eine Gruppe von 3 Pärchen so wie wir es waren. Es hat an nichts gemangelt, sehr gut ausgestattete Küche, toller Poolbereich mit Grill und Pizzaofen und auch sonst eine sehr hochwertige Austattung. Wir können das Haus uneingeschränkt emphelen. Auch die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter ist top. Danke für einen wunderschönen Urlaub!!!!

A propriedade perfeita

A Casa do Ananás é uma propriedade fantástica. Tem tudo o que possa necessitar para ter umas férias tranquilas e com o maior conforto. O proprietário foi muito atencioso. A localização é excelente. Recomendo com certeza. E provavelmente voltarei ao Pico e à Casa do Ananás.

Wunderschönes Haus mit Meerblick und toller Ausstattung

Dies ist ein wunderschönes, grosszuegiges Haus, das sehr schön und geschmackvoll möbliert ist. Die Kueche ist sehr gut und vollständig ausgestattet, man hat Geschirrspüler, alle erdenklichen Küchengeräte, Waschmaschine und Trockner. Es ist hell und viel Platz. Die Bäder sind groß und das Anwesen war sauber. Der einzige Wehrmutstropfen war der sehr veralgte Pool, den wir leider nicht nutzen konnten. Daher kann ich leider keine volle Punktzahl geben. Das Haus ist ein Urlaubstraum und wir werden es noch einmal mit sauberem Pool besuchen.

5 Days on Pico Island- September 2019

You don’t get a more beautiful property than this. Lovely large house, beautiful gardens. The photos don’t do it justice. My only concerns were because the islands are very humid, there was a very off putting odor in the house. I’m assuming it was mildew in the air. So much moisture on these islands. It helps to open all the doors and let the fresh air blow through. This helps with the smell. However, there are no window or patio door screens, therefore lots of bugs (even lizards) come in the house when the doors are open. During our vacation we stayed in a property on another island This home had a dehumidifier which helped a lot with the mildew odor. (Note: there was no visible mildew) I would suggest to be more comfortable that the owners supply a portable dehumidifier. Possibly install window screens and ceiling fans would be a major plus. It gets very hot and humid. There is no air conditioning. When you’re from a dry climate and not used to humidity, this is very uncomfortable. Other than that, like I mentioned, a very beautiful property in a beautiful location. Enjoy!

A luxury property perched on Pico's south coast

The house is large and well-equipped for 6 guests. Bedrooms may be on the small side, but the communal areas more than made up for that. The greatest feature of Casa do Ananas is the covered porch facing the ocean. We spent hours there, listening to the crashing surf and watching bats and birds in flight. The eerie sounds made by the Cory's Shearwaters at night are "Blair Witch Project" weird, but we grew to love them. Likewise the swooshing of the Azores noctules right over our heads into and out of their homes in the rock walls of the house. The pool area is huge, and the pool itself - while not heated - was refreshing on hot days. The house's location can't be beat: Minutes from Lajes (fantastic bakery, lots of whale-watching tour operators), a half-hour from the start of the trail up Pico mountain, a pleasant drive to the vineyards westwards in Sao Mateus, Criaco Velha and Madalena as well as the good restaurant way east at Ponta da Ilha. Overall the house is at a very convenient midpoint on the island. We walked up to the Aldeia da Fonte hotel several times; dinner at its restaurant was good and the staff was helpful at other times when we had questions. There is also a yoga/massage studio right in Silveira. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and are grateful to James, Edna and Jack for letting us enjoy their beautiful house.

Schöne Lage mit Einschränkungen

Das Haus entspricht im Großen und Ganzen der Beschreibung. Leider findet man nirgends den Hinweis darauf, dass die 50m entfernte Strandbar auch nachts geöffnet hat. Hierdurch kam es zu massiver Lärmbelästigung durch laute Musik und laut feiernde Gäste, dies bis in die frühen Morgenstunden (5:00 Uhr). Trotz geschlossener Fenster war schlafen unmöglich. Nach einer Woche Aufenthalt sind wir entnervt abgereist. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war insofern in Ordnung, dass auf unsere Anfrage nach dem fehlenden Toaster und einer separaten Bettdecke (im Doppelbett gibt es nur eine gemeinsame große Decke) schnell geantwortet wurde. Allerdings sollten wir dann das Toast im Ofen toasten??? Wie wäre es bei dem Mietpreis mal mit einem neuen Toaster??? Handtücher waren auch zu wenige da, die Sauberkeit im Haus war auch gerade noch akzeptabel. Da wir seit Jahren Häuser über FEWO mieten und im übrigen von anderen Vermietern als Gäste mit 5 Sternen bewertet wurden, sind wir bestimmt keine nörgelnden Mieter aber in diesem Fall können wir einfach keine bessere Bewertung abgeben. Wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sucht, sollte sich nach etwas anderem umsehen.

A break form the norm

We had a lovely stay in Pico. The destination is so different from what we would normally head to. We thought long and hard about going for this reason but were delighted we did. It is lovely to find somewhere different and distinct from the usual holiday resorts. The house and its amazing location on the sea - not a mile from the sea - on the sea - was beautiful. Very large and very comfortable with a great pool and views over the ocean. There was an issue with the fridge but a temporary fix was put in place quickly. We will return!

Loved our stay in this beautiful home

We stayed at this property for 4 nights and loved our time there! It's absolutely beautiful, and is a perfect place to relax (especially after exploring the island), sitting on the terrace overlooking the ocean or enjoying the pool. The house was just as pictured, and the information provided by James was thorough and detailed. It's a short drive anywhere on the island, so we found it easy to see all the island has to offer. If I return to PIco I would stay here again!

Incredible Stay at an Over the Top Accommodation

We were 3 couples travelling in the Azores for 2 weeks. Everyone was "WOW" when we pulled in the drive and then into this beautiful seaside villa. it had everything you could ask for in a home away from home. The location was perfect for our daily trips around the island, on an off day we enjoyed the pool and large tiled deck and having the Fonte Hotel down the road to walk for dinner or lunch was an added plus. We would highly recommend a stay at this outstanding property.
