Hotel is Moinhos is absolutely charming and the most authentic Azores experience one could ever hope for. Laticia and Rodrigo are extremely hardworking and go out of their way to ensure you have the best stay. My wife and I visited for our honeymoon and will be back - we loved everything.

Mitchell United States of America

Very quaint and charming experience with exceptional view of Mt Pico. The owner Leticia and her staff are very kind and helpful. I love Sao Jorge Island.

Wenson United States of America

Spacious lodging, beautiful natural setting, felt like a village

Susan United States of America

The house was really nice and clean, and only 10 minutes from Velas, the restaurant was really nice too.

Vanessa United States of America

Liticia was such a wonderful hostess and she made our stay so comfortable and welcoming. She also helped us understand cultural differences about the island and made great recommendations about what to see and when. I can’t wait to go back and I’ll be staying there!

Victoria United States of America

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.

Michael Canada

Great breakfast with local ingredients and homemade bread. Also, fabulous dinner available. Very friendly host. Great views on vulcano Pico.

Jennifer Germany

Exceptional Breakfast, very kind and friendly personell

Sebastian Germany

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.

Francisco Spain

The environment is great, view is exceptional on Pico Island. The food is very nice. Easy to stay in and have dinner on site because you would need a car to move around. There is no frequent public transport.
