The host Antonio deserves 5 stars for himself. He is so kind, calm, friendly and helpful.
The location of the appartment is nice, by the ocean, at a close distance to beautiful viewpoints and at a walking distance from the ferry. Inside, what has to be clean is clean : the bathroom, the kitchen, the sheets/beds etc...

We loved the whole apartment. It was very roomy and decorated well. The place had all amenities we needed. We also loved the outdoor patio/roof deck. A special bonus were the cute cats that would come visit (from afar)!

Wow, this place far exceeded what I was expecting for the price. Firstly, it is immaculately clean. My room was very comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious. It is located right in the heart of town, but it isn't noisy. I'll definitely return.

The staff was very friendly and happy help whenever needed. The daily housekeeping was done very nicely.
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!!
Lovely little chalets with a beautiful view, nice pool and a very sympathetic manager of the hotel.
The restaurant has some delicious regional food and an excellent Gin tonic to enjoy the view on the terrace outside. The breakfast was prepared for every guest and included coffee, self-made juice, crepes, bread with honey and some marmelade and cheese of the island. They also scrambled some eggs for us.
The landscape of the island is magneficent. We loved to spend some days here!
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.
The best part about this place is the incredible ocean view from nearly anywhere on site. It is high on a hill, a bit outside of Velas, with ample places to sit outside and watch the incredible sunsets.
Within 20 minutes walking distance is a beautiful natural swimming pool that was totally empty in the mornings.
The staff were all very friendly and attentive.
There was also a bathtub in the room, which was a nice bonus.
Super clean, extremely comfortable bed and really friendly and responsive hosts.
The place also has a phenomenal view of the cliffs nearby in Velas, as well as Mount Pico. We only stayed one night but it was a great spot and we wished we had more time. The garden was cool and overall had a very laid back vibe. We also appreciated the laundry onsite. The host also allowed us to check in early which was really helpful.
Antonio was really nice and waited for me until midnight because the ferry was late. It is a 3 minutes walk from the port wich was very convinient as I arrived late. The view from my room on Pico and the church was veeeery pretty in the morning. And the breakfast was simple but good with various breads. . Will definitely recommend this place for someone arriving late by the ferry or want to stay a few days in Velas.
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.
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.
Wonderful stay and great location 120 m above Velas opposite of Pico. Very warm welcome by Gisela and her husband. Great silence and calm as everywhere on the island. Healthy excercise to walk up after dinner.
Everything about this place is wonderful. It sits on a hill above the vila of Velas with beautiful views of Pico. Gisela is also a wonderful hostess, who makes sure you’re happy and have everything you need!
They picked us in Velas free of charge and we rented their car (45€/day). We had full flexibility by returning the car the last day in the airport. They also left some free breakfast as a welcome gift.
The apartment is conveniently located near the coast in Velas, a few minutes away from a natural swimming pool with a beautiful view to Pico.
The host is very friendly and helpful.
Very good located in center of Velas, close to everything. Parking was available on the street and you always find a free place. rooms look newly renovated. Breakfast was good.
A decent hotel. Rooms came to age though. Location is excellent: the view is superb and it is close to the center of Velas. Good breakfast with a lot of choices.
Family-run property. Excellent breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice.
Dinner very good and very convenient at the hotel.
Pool nice though brisk.
