“The view to the ocean and the town was amazing! It was so great to wake up every morning to this beautiful view. The staff were nice and helpful and the villa was spacious and modernly decorated. Overall it is a great place to stay! ”

“This is a very nice boutique property that is between a hotel and a condominium complex. There are about 3 units per building and each unit is quite private. The unit was clean, spacious and comfortable. There are multiple sliding glass doors in the units, which allows capturing the cool ocean breeze. There is an on-site restaurant that was wonderful and provided the best meals we had in the Azores. The staff was extremely helpful, spending quite a while getting us a rental car on Sao Jorge.” Read more

They were able to accommodate a family dinner in the restaurant (delicious!) for 25 on our last night there which was very special. Thank you Cantinho for making my first trip back in 23 years so wonderful!” Read more

“The room/cabin was excellent, modern, with a beautiful view, great for taking pictures and instantly felt like we had found a real gem of a place. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the whole property was very clean. The pool area is stunning, with an amazing view of the town of Velas and on a clear day a spectacular view of Pico . Overall the atmosphere is wonderful and a great central point to travel from to visit all of Sao Jorge. It is a fast drive to Velas. The air conditioning was a great bonus! We really loved the place and would definitely come back. The good definitely out weighed the bad.” Read more

“Beautiful architecture and views were unsurpassed. We had apart 1A, with unobstructed views of ocean, Pico volcano and the town of Velas. The chef owner was very engaging. Prepared a special meal for us as they were featuring Brazil night with only meat, as we eat only fish, he made us the freshest most delicious tuna and local clams. Wonderful.” Read more
