    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.

    We made a spontaneous decision to spend a few nights on the island because of the storm. Ana was an incredible host, not only did she let us prolong our room reservation, but she was also extremely kind and gave us lots of cool recommendations on places to visit on the island. She also helped us with a dryer for our clothes. I highly recommend this cozy hotel for a couple or family vacation.

    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.

    great, simple, clean hostel/hotel in the center of town. great price. quiet. there is not a way on Trip Advisor to distinguish between the quality of luxury and 2/3 star hotels. This is not a luxury hotel and it has everything travelers need: clean rooms, private bath, hot water, peace and quiet, central location.

    Maria was extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotel reminded me of home with the smell of gum trees and the sounds of birds. Quaint rooms and simple breakfasts, o loved that I could go make a cuppa tea at anytime. Sao Jorge is best with a car and car spaces available at Quinta do Canavial.

    The room was a short walk to anything in town. There’s also cafe with one of the better menu offerings in town right next to the hotel. My favourite amenity was the room’s large balcony with a great view of Pico. The staff is friendly and helpful. I asked lots of questions.
