The bed is a bit smallish.

Of all the islands I visited Sao Jorge is the most rugged. Man has forged a living among the steep hills and the cliffs descending into the ocean. Here also the hotel has carved a space with wide views and with a garden that gradually gives way to nature. The rooms are self contained cottages made of rough volcanic stone, partly covered by moss. It is not a place for the disabled unfortunately, there are uneven stone paths and steep climbs. But the people are very nice and the food is superb.

This is a beautiful place. The setting is gorgeous and there is an awesome view of Pico Mountain. The staff is great and the restaurant is wonderful.

The car park can be a bit busy when it is full in the restaurant.

Hotel was a bit hidden away through some very small streets, but is located at a beautiful location. From the hotel there is a very nice view over the ocean, and you can see the other islands (Pico and Faial) in the distance. Very friendly staff that gave us good recommendations for places to visit on the island, and were also very helpful during the serving of the breakfast. The hotel also has a restaurant, which serves some good dinner for not too much money.

We were at the restaurant and it was excellent. It was a pity that the service at their restaurant was not good as the food was.

The location and the view were spectacular. It was far from the street so very quite and it was on the top of a hill then it was very chill in the night, perfect for a good sleep.

Unique place to stay that will make you enjoy even more the island of Sao Jorge! Staff was very welcoming and available. The breakfast is very abundant and delicious and the restaurant was so great that we ended up having dinner there three nights in a row. Food is fresh, most of it is grown on the property. The view on Pico on clear days is outstanding!

Fantastic breakfast and spacious room

Stayed in July 2023

The kitchen was not complete enough for being able to cook. However, there is a fridge available.

Leticia was a great host, she was really open to answer all our questions and doubts. You have a complete apartment for yourself, tons of space. The breakfast was the best during our roundtrip through Azores. There was variety of fruits, eggs and also cheese. Direct in the same location, there is a good restaurant, from which you can enjoy a great view of Pico.

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!

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!

Located high up in a village outside of Velas- not walkable to town.

Family-run property. Excellent breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Dinner very good and very convenient at the hotel. Pool nice though brisk.

Nothing

The staff were extraordinary, helpful and extremely pleasurable to visit with. The food was excellent and just a short stroll from our room. PS the local cats were very sweet outside our room. Hotel staff was highlight of our trip so far!!

only one thing (that doesn’t affect my final judgment) it was a little cold the time I was there and the apartment was difficult to warm up

gorgeous location, breathtaking view, easily to reach, very quiet at night. and a really good breakfast. beautiful pool (that I cannot use because of the weather… but it was beautiful)

We loved our stay at the hotel. The owner and her family are so warm and kind and immediately make you feel at home. We loved the personal touch of being greeted at the entrance and being shown around the property. The individual cottages / room complex feel very authentic to the island and the view of Pico and Faial from the windows alone make the stay here amazing. The property is conveniently located only ~5min from the airport, but tucked away on a side road that is surrounded by greenery and you can here the sound of nature all around you. We loved that the price included breakfast in the morning which delicious and very filling. You will not want to eat breakfast anywhere else. And it features local ingredients and products like eggs, cheese, honey, jams, fresh bread and fruits. Another plus is that the restaurant on the property Fornos de Lava is also delicious (this is the same place that you eat breakfast). We ate dinner here both night during our stay because the food was so good. It featured local products. We loved the filet mignon (the meat was so tender) and the cataplana of fish and shrimp. We will easily stay here again next time we visit.

very nice and calm place in the heights of Velas. 10min from the town and the airport. Very thoughtful and friendly staff. Many cats and frogs around (don't go there if you don't like animals). The food at the restaurant (cataplana and breakfast) are delicious! I recommand warmly!
