A bit small but not an issue if you are staying here for seeing the island. If we are going back some day, we would stay here again.

Offering a shared lounge, Casa dos Rui´s offers accommodation in Velas. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Rui was a fantastic host. His family, including Jack, the fabulous friendly waggy dog were all very friendly. The room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the location and the view. Everything was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. A huge thank you to Rui for his fantastic suggestions for our day trip. It was a perfect recommendation to one of the best hiking trails I’ve ever been on and Rui’s practical suggestions made it all doable.

AzoresDream is set in Velas and features a shared lounge. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge. The guest house features family rooms.

At the guest house, each unit comes with a wardrobe. Some units feature a terrace and/or a balcony with sea or mountain views. The units in the guest house are equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and with cable channels. I spent 6 wonderful nights at this exceptionally clean and peaceful accommodation in São Jorge. The room was cleaned every single day, which I truly appreciated. This is a family-run place, and the hosts are incredibly kind and helpful. Emanuel, the husband, was especially supportive – he helped organize my hiking trips around the island, provided transportation to and from the trails, and even took me to the airport at the end of my stay without asking for anything in return. If you're looking for a quiet, spotless place with genuinely caring hosts, I highly recommend this place. I would definitely stay here again!

Perched on the mountains of São Jorge Island, Cantinho offers a furnished terrace with an infinity pool and a hot tub. It offers luxurious, air-conditioned apartments with a private patio.

The colourful apartments include a fully equipped kitchenette and a dining area. Each has a separate seating area with a flat-screen TV. Some have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the islands of Pico and Faial. The location is so incredibly beautiful! Close to both the airport and the Velas port for ferries, with access to hikes, and including a fabulous pool and all the other amenities you could want, this is the perfect place to stay on Sao Jorge. We used the comfortable apartment with squeaky clean linens, cooking and dishware, and patio furniture. Lots of space and surfaces for packing suitcases and feeling at home. The sunsets were STUNNING and all the requests we had were generously completed with smiles. Thank you so much to Max, Gabi, Thiago, and all the lovely staff!
