Become a discoverer, sail to the island of Pico and stay in our Youth Hostel in the town of São Roque. From here you will set forth to discover the island's magnificent history.

São Roque has the essential attractions in order for you to spend unforgettable days. Underwater fishing is very appealing due to the richness of our ocean's fauna and flora and it's interesting rock formations. The observation of these species is also a great activity.

For those whom enjoy hunting: rabbit hunting season is open throughout the year and if you purchase a license, you may also hunt for woodcock, perdizes and quail.
The weather is known to be a bit unstable, but it is mild enough to create the perfect ecosystem, which in it's turn allows the production of tasty delicacies such as the well known island cheese.

Customer Reviews Azores - Pico Is. - São Roque do Pico
| 16 Aug 2012 Flavio, Italy | 43% | |
| The hostel is very beautiful, great atmosphere and furniture. Unfortunately there was only 3 toilets (1 with locker out of service and the other two with light out of service and no windows!). If the light is working is automatic and turn off just after 10 seconds. No one of the staff took care about the problem. Also the showers are very poor. Hostel response: | ||
