Casa da Barca, Pico Azores Accommodations

Casa da Barca is a private house that enjoys panoramic views of the Atlantic towards the Azores islands of Faial and Sao Jorge. This accommodation is conveniently located in the main town of Madelena on Baia da Barca (Barca Bay). This secluded bay is lined with Tamarix trees along the coastline, and dotted with a few traditional summer houses all facing the Ocean. Facilities in this area are a small port, BBQ, natural swimming pool, public showers, a small café and a popular wine museum.

This house is positioned only 10 meters from the coast! And the best part is that there is an ocean-filled natural swimming pool right in front of the house. This makes for the ideal family-oriented vacation. The neighborhood of Barca has excellent road systems for a walking, or a cycling holiday (the roads are flat and in good condition). For some guests, not renting a car may be an option. Walking to a café, swimming pool, parks, hiking trail and the wine museum makes this the right choice when considering an eco-friendly accommodation. Making this idea even more viable is that the ferry of Madelena is only a brisk 15 minute walk. This allows you to use the house as a home base for exploring Pico and doing some island hopping to Faial or St.Jorge Islands as well.
