“Amazing location, with glorious views and sounds. On a very steep hill but has easy parking on the flat. Possible to walk into the village if you are fit enough to walk back! A restaurant within very easy walking distance, but not always open.”

“Gostamos de quase tudo. Só temosxa referir que o duche praticamente não funciona e a existência da banheira numa casa que pode ser usada por idosos, torna não só difícil como perigoso o seu acesso. É muito difícil e perigoso, devia rever a situação.”

The Whaler’s House is located in the Calheta de Nesquim parish, in the Lajes do Pico council. This small and picturesque community has only 342 inhabitants, who live mainly from fishing and agriculture. It is in this privileged environment, where the countryside meets the sea, that the Whaler’s House is situated. The comfortable and welcoming exterior area makes it the ideal place for those who love being near the sea. Enjoy our own look-out post and feel like a true whaler from the past watching cetaceans from the balcony of the Whaler’s House. THE SPACE: Bedrooms 1; Bathrooms 1; Living room; Fully equipped kitchen; Balcony - for meals and lounging area; Heating system for the winter; TV.
Sustainable tourism has gained a growing relevance in the last years, as a result of the need for an alternative tourism. The number of places offering this new concept of tourism has been multiplying around the world and the Azores are, without the shadow of a doubt, the ideal place for it. According to the World Tourism Organization, developing tourism in a sustainable way implies fair social actions, economical viability and ecological correctness. Costa e Arenas (Okeano Azores) intends to follow this concept, providing quality touristic services based on environmental, social and enterprising principals.
This parish was the first whaling centre in the Pico Island. It is still possible to visit the boats and the look-out post today. In this parish you can find some natural swimming holes: Poça das Mujas and Feteira de Baixo.
