Fodor's Expert Review Alma do Pico Nature Resort

Though you can’t expect luxury, these simple wooden cabins in the woods make a peaceful getaway. The Italian owners pride themselves on their extremely personalized and friendly service, taking time to suggest the best things to do around the island. In either butterfly or larger turtle configurations, the cabins have kitchenettes as well as breezy verandas. There’s an inviting outdoor pool with mountain and water views, as well as a yoga room where yoga is led by the owners.
