Roland Austria

We had a fantastic stay here, it was our favourite place to be, on our two week trip to 5 Azores islands. It was so nice to return to the large rooms at the end of the day of exploring Sao Jorge, and would eagerly await for diner at the restaurant. We had two days of clear weather where the view of Pico were amazing, and haven't felt anywhere this peaceful in a long time, with only the sounds of the pool waterfall, birds, and frogs. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful boutique hotel with large and confortable rooms. Great breakfast and the restaurant Fornos de Lava is the best in the island. Breathtaking views to Pico. Super host with very good communication. Highly recommended.
