The location was really good, next to a natural pool. There are restaurants and a grocery shop near by. It has a really great view on Pico mountain. There are plenty of parking space in front of the building.
The check in went smoothly, and the owner was able to arrange a morning check in for us, so it's worth asking, but it based on availability and other guests leaving time.
Situated in Velas in the São Jorge Island region, Velasmar II features accommodation with free WiFi.

Very nice host. Friendly and helpful. This place is for budget travellers. And it IS good value for money. I liked the location. 15 min. walk with luggage from the harbour. My balcony was a surprise. Great views of Pico!
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!!
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!!
Such a beautiful view! These are whole houses and that makes it so comfortable as a family. There is a bathtub, fully equipped kitchen, washing machine - everything really. The guest houses are located on the mountainside above Velas and off we stunning views over the ocean and the neighbouring Pico island. The host of these houses is the friendliest and most helpful lady ever. When asked for an extra heater, she went and got one immediately. She checked in on us a few times to make sure we were comfy and she was sweet and kind to our son.
Fabulous location, with bats swooping over the pool, knock out views in a green paradise. We overlooked 2 cliffs and saw amazing sunsets. Maria was lovely and made the stay welcoming and homely. Staff cleaned and changed sheets/ bedding every day. 5 mins walk from Velas. On the walk to Velas, you could see the volcano of pico rising out of the clouds. Honesty, I would have paid double.Breakfast was a feast!
All the photos I have added are from the property views or walking into velas.
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 !!
if you are looking for a place to escape the city and relax this is it! amazing views of Pico, so much greenery surrounding the hotel and an excellent location to travel around the island. Leticia took such great care of us and made sure our stay was as pleasant as possible! the breakfast was delicious and made with local products. loads of parking was also available. if I visit San Jorge again in the future, I would be definitely staying there!
- Fully equipped, clean, new apartment, with privacy and modern, nicely decorated interior (very good kitchen and bathroom)
- Beautiful view from living and sleeping room with own terrace (direct view of Pico island)
- Very personal and kind attention of both owner and a care taking person passing by every day
- Parking on the property
- Calm neighbourhood, up the hill, close to Velas but off the main road
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 breakfast was perfect, the location with the views amazing and all the areas to sit and relax. We arrived late in the evening and they had left us a small plate of cheese, bread and a chilled carafe of Maria's husbands homemade tangerine liqueur, quite tasty! We did not have a car and walking into Velas in the evening for dinner and back was quite pleasant.
The bed was very comfortable, the room was spotless and quiet, the host was kind and informative. At check-in, Ana gave me a very helpful introduction to Sao Jorge, even lending me hiking brochures and providing tips on the best sunset viewing spots. Cantinho do Piano is ideally located in the center of Velas. I had a very relaxing time here.
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.
This little cottage had the most amazing views of Velas, Pico and the ocean. The cottage we were in had a living room, 2 bedrooms, dining and kitchen. The unit was very clean. The local cagarros kept us entertained with their very unique bird chatter! Gisella was very friendly!
Facilities are very clean. Host is very friendly. We had no problem checking in. Host was very accommodating. Met us at 2:00am to give us the keys! Public swimming spot right behind the hotel is beautiful!
The room was small but very clean. All we needed was there. Breakfast was basic however very decent. Nice personnel. Parking space available in front of the hotel on the street. Quality vs price is good.
The garden of the hotel was absolutely beautiful and staff very friendly at reception.
Loved that we could store the bags after check out and wait in the hotel until the ferry came. Thank you!
Family-run property. Excellent breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice.
Dinner very good and very convenient at the hotel.
Pool nice though brisk.
