Fodor's Expert Review Alma do Pico Nature Resort
Rua dos Biscoitos 34, 9500-333, Portugal
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.
PROS
- popular restaurant serves Italian cuisine using local ingredients
- quiet accommodations with plenty of space to spread out
- individualized travel suggestions
CONS

- odd shower controls
- no air-conditioning
