Set in São Jorge Island, in the Azores, the Pousada de Juventude de São Jorge is surrounded by natural green areas. It is a 28-minute drive from a harbour which features boat connections to Pico Island, home of the highest mountain in all of Portugal.

The property provides accommodation in male and female dormitory rooms, as well as in private twin rooms. The twin rooms feature private bathrooms, while the dorms feature access to a shared bathroom. All areas of the property feature free WiFi access.

A standard breakfast buffet is included in the room rate and served each morning in the São Jorge. For more meal options, several local restaurants are available within 650 yards of the property. The island’s specialties include tuna fish dishes and the renowned S. Jorge Cheese.

Guests can enjoy a drink from the Pousada’s bar while relaxing in the green garden area.

The green surroundings are ideal for activities such as hiking, cycling or even picnicking while admiring the rich local plant life. There is also the local harbour area, where guests can enjoy activities such as swimming or fishing. Underwater fishing is very popular in the island. Whale and dolphin watching trips are available at the harbour and can be booked through the friendly 24-hour front desk staff.

The Pousada de Juventude de São Jorge provides a shuttle service, at an extra fee.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.6 for a two-person trip.

The kitchen is not well equipped even basics like oil and salt are not there. WiFi does only work in the common room. And the breakfast... Well. It's a youth hostel so for that it's okay but don't expect much.

No air conditioning. Some utensils missing from kitchen. . . Bus service is not good (not just for the hostel but whole island, which is understandable as its quite quiet . . ) you have to be reasonably fit to climb the hill to the hostel
The views are spectacular. Beds are comfortable. rooms/ lounge/reception/kitchen/bar areas clean and tidy. Free breakfast, Good staff.
