I had a really nice two night stay at this lovely place. The room was spacious and equipped with everything you needed. Bed was comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic with lots of good homemade food! The view from up there was amazing. And you also have most likely the best restaurant in Sao Jorge in the hotel! I absolutely recommend to stay there! Thank you Leticia and team!
GermanyThe food was really good, the people are nice and helpful. The amazing view The restaurant has amazing food and the majority of the ingredients are from their own garden. We ate every evening there! The bed was very comfy and clean
GermanyGood location. stunning view over Pico, surrounded by nature, quiet place, the rooms look like much more beautiful traditional houses than ordinary hotel rooms. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
ItalyThe quality of the welcoming, the restaurant, the location. Very calm and natural site. Congrats to the owner. Let’s go there ++
FrancePerfect view, nice restaurant on an old millstone. Big rooms
NetherlandsExceptional welcome throughout our stay. Wonderful food. Beautiful setting.
United KingdomFantastic breakfast and service The Restaurant served good food the care and service was excellent
United KingdomGorgeous view! Out of the way. Surrounding nature sounds. About 5-7 minutes from Vela’s by car. Best S. Jorge Restaurant on site. Very graceful and friendly staff.
PortugalBreakfast was excellent: crepes, four kinds of homemade jam, two kinds of local cheese, a bowl of cut-up local fruit, a small pitcher of fresh-squeezed orange juice, decent coffee and eggs as desired. Better than any of the large tourist hotels! We also had four dinners at their Fornos de Lava restaurant, with a nice (but not overly large) selection of local meat and fresh seafood, and well-prepared and presented vegetables. The salads from ingredients grown in their own greenhouse were outstanding. The owner and her son--Felicia and Rodrigo--were knowledgeable about food and cared about preparation. The striking view of Pico island from the restaurant, and its snow-capped volcano on the last day of our stay, was a large plus. The king bed in our three-room suite was very comfortable. The four friendly cats just outside the restaurant were a decorative bonus.
United StatesGreat location. Very clean spacious room and the owner was exceptional, very friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful.
