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!

Second stay here was as amazing as the first!

This house is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest! This house would be perfect for sharing with 3 couples - the bedroom arrangement allows for lots of space & privacy and the living areas are all huge. The outdoor spaces - gorgeous! Unfortunately November weather doesn't invite lazing around the pool. No matter!! There is lots to do & see on Pico and Casa do Ananas is perfectly positioned for exploring. Only minutes drive from a central position on the main coastal road and also from the road that cuts across the island to Sao Roque. Less than 5 minute drive into the town of Lajes do Pico where you find a reasonably sized grocery store, several restaurants, and the Whaling Museum. An added bonus for those who enjoy good food - the house is located only minutes walk to an excellent restaurant! If you are looking for a peaceful stay in an elegant home on an amazing out-of-the-way island - Casa do Ananas is the place to stay.

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.

Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2017

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

About the host

Hosted by James Munnery

Casa do Ananas is the long time dream of husband and wife Edna and James. We bought the land 21 years ago and have spent the time since seeking development consent and getting the design just right to satisfy ourselves (and the planners). The house was completed in 2009.
Edna was born on the island and, whilst we now live in the UK, she remains at heart an Acorean. The whole island is really one extended family and our times on Pico are always fully of family fun. This project is intended to provide a retreat for our family but also to pay for itself by being rented out.
Acoreans are very welcoming and our family on the island will make every effort to ensure that our guests return to their homes far afield with fond memories and strong recommendations.
We do hope to attract people who want to see the real Acores.

Why they chose this property

The land was purchased in 2001. We completed the property in 2009 and have listed with ownersdirect from the start.

Edna was born on the island so there was only ever going to be one location for our place abroad!
We spent 5 months looking for the right location; just the right blend of, views, proximity to the sea, remoteness and proximity to Lajes for the convenience of shops, restaurants and bars.

What makes this property unique

The Acores, and in particular Pico, are unspoilt. We often hear people remarking about how laid back the lifestyle is.
I love swimming off the coast looking at all the fish and maritime life which abounds. On rough days the swimming pool has to suffice; a tough life.
Our family includes Jack aged 14. He loves the water and we often spend a late afternoon fishing for crabs and small fish in the rock pools.
For us it was important that a restaurant and bar were within easy walking distance. We go to Pico to relax. The first few days are spent unwinding and unpacking.
Many of our guests report seeing dolphins and the occasional whale playing in the bay in front of the house. As i get terribly sea sick this is as close to whale watching as can get!
