    Amazing place. Completely stocked small supermarket.

    Amazing place. Completely stocked small supermarket. Chinese store had an amazing selection of clothes, electronics, etc. Restaurants were wonderful. Everyone we meet was helpful and friendly. Go to the lagoon on the otherside of the island - heavenly. Better hydranga lined roads and fields than Sao Miguel. Call Ramos for taxi service - he is my cousin.

    Piscina Natural Simao Dias, the most beautiful natural pool in the Azores. I would recommend it to others. I traveled around the island on a rented scooter. But I thought it was safer to use a car.

    Velas is a lovely little town on Sao Jorge.

    Velas is a lovely little town on Sao Jorge. It isn't large but has everything you need for a week on tge island. There are several natural swimming pools with free umbrellas and shower/changing facilities (the fact they're free unlike so many places is really good). The restaurants we ate in were really good serving local produce with good value for money. The rest of the island has the spectacular scenery and Velas is a good place to base yourself to see it.

    The hospitality of this village is to die for.

    The hospitality of this village is to die for. Great food, pure hearted people, I recommend having a meal at Cervejaria S. Jorge with the great Chef Luísa Fernandes, take a boat tour and walk from Serra do Topo to the Fajãs. Try the local cheese and pair it with a nice glass wine. It's a healing place, too beautiful to describe. Book a longer stay, it's really worth the time

    Velas is just a place to stay to have a base to explore the nature on the island. Unfortunately we had rain and fog most of the time and got to see very little. There is an excellent restaurant in the next town, Rosais. It is called O Branqinho and has a fabulous lunch for only about 8 euros.

    This place was an apartment above a cake shop!! Breakfast was in the shop and it was open long hours for dinks etc. Very modern and well appointed but very noisy on two nights but this was only because it was festa time.and the stage was right next door in the market I bought some earplugs and after that it was FINE!!

    The location is beautiful and overlooks the village of Velas. It is not walkable into town. You will need a car. It is a perfect retreat for relaxing and taking in the views. You will need to go upstairs for the living room The Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates cups and silverware. There are no spices or oils provided. Towels and bedding linens are provided. The pillows are nice. The beds are hard. Plenty of toilet paper and laundry Detergent. Gisela was extremely attentive and friendly.

    The location is stunning, peaceful, and marvellous. From the bungalows, you have a really impressive view over the ocean, to Pico island and to Pico mountain. The bungalow is comfortable and well equipped. Ideally located for the airport, Ferry Port, Velas, and touring around São Jorge. The owner is really friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. An excellent relation price - facilities. Highly recommend for your stay in São Jorge !!

    The reason I couldn’t give this hotel a great rating was primarily due to the use of highly perfumed cleaning products which I was extremely allergic too. I had to leave the room the first night and read in the lounge area. It eventually got somewhat better but then another underlying smell occurred. Despite this it had an amazing view of Mount Pico and the breakfast included was good with lots of very fresh fruits and good guality food.

    This property has a great location with an amazing view, host is super nice and helpful, the bungalow is basic but very comfortable and kitchen is equipped with everything you might need. Coffee capsules were a great bonus in the morning :) Beach is very close to the property. You might need a car/taxi if you'd like to hike the mountain trails. Wi-fi is available as well. Good value for money, recommend!

    The small inn is located in Velas a short distance from the good restaurants and the port yet it's a quiet area. The owner, Julia, was very helpful. My room was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. There were 2 balconies, the upper one overlooking Mount Pico, the tallest mountain in Portugal. There were a few bakeries open early for the breakfast.

    The property was very nice, comfortable, and excellent location, walking distance to beach and town. The hostess was very helpful and attentive to our needs. It rained one day when we had our clothes hanging out to dry and when we returned from our outings that day she had taken our clothes to her her home, dried them and returned them dry and neatly folded.

    The breakfast was terrific! The owner, Leticia, her son, and Catherina were very accommodating and kind. The hotel is located in a small village near Velas. You will need a car to move around the island. However, the views from the hotel are unique! Very peaceful place. The cabins/ apartments are very spacious, comfortable, and clean!

    The garden with the swimmingpool couldn't be situated better. The view from the balcony in the room was spectacular as well. The walking distance to the restaurants in town is only five minutes (the hotel has none). Breakfast was good. Staff is friendly. You can get towels for the pool at the reception.

    The location is perfect. The room was renovated and very clean. The owners are very nice people, helpful. We had certain issues with our vacation planing and they actively found a way how to ease our inconvenience for our satisfaction. The family runs the hotel for more than 40 years.

    It's small (I think it was a house once) but within an excellent courtyard. Very clean and the owner is very personable. It's located near the center of Velas near a number of restaurants and the town center and it's close to the water. Has a nice continental breakfast.
