Great place for two couples. Fantastic view. Excellent and very welcoming host. Before arrival, our key concern was if internet will be sufficient to do work video calls and it was all fine and worked very well.

Velasmar, hotel in Velas

Set in Velas, Velasmar provides accommodation with a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a kitchen. Each unit features an oven, microwave, a coffee machine, as well as a toaster.

The location was really good, next to a natural pool. There are restaurants and a grocery shop near by. It has a really great view on Pico mountain. There are plenty of parking space in front of the building. The check in went smoothly, and the owner was able to arrange a morning check in for us, so it's worth asking, but it based on availability and other guests leaving time.

Offering a barbecue and views of the sea, Saint Jorge Farm and Bungalows is located in Velas. Free private parking is available on site. Each room includes a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

The host was very welcoming and gave us a lot of useful tips for our trip. The location and view were stunning looking straight at Pico mountain! It was great to seat outside at the balcony and enjoy the view with a glass of wine and some cheese! We were also offered bread, milk and a homemade banana jam for breakfast which was perfect. We would stay here again if we return to Sao Jorge!

    Amazing place. Completely stocked small supermarket.

    Amazing place. Completely stocked small supermarket. Chinese store had an amazing selection of clothes, electronics, etc. Restaurants were wonderful. Everyone we meet was helpful and friendly. Go to the lagoon on the otherside of the island - heavenly. Better hydranga lined roads and fields than Sao Miguel. Call Ramos for taxi service - he is my cousin.

    Piscina Natural Simao Dias, the most beautiful natural pool in the Azores. I would recommend it to others. I traveled around the island on a rented scooter. But I thought it was safer to use a car.

    Velas is a lovely little town on Sao Jorge.

    Velas is a lovely little town on Sao Jorge. It isn't large but has everything you need for a week on tge island. There are several natural swimming pools with free umbrellas and shower/changing facilities (the fact they're free unlike so many places is really good). The restaurants we ate in were really good serving local produce with good value for money. The rest of the island has the spectacular scenery and Velas is a good place to base yourself to see it.

    The hospitality of this village is to die for.

    The hospitality of this village is to die for. Great food, pure hearted people, I recommend having a meal at Cervejaria S. Jorge with the great Chef Luísa Fernandes, take a boat tour and walk from Serra do Topo to the Fajãs. Try the local cheese and pair it with a nice glass wine. It's a healing place, too beautiful to describe. Book a longer stay, it's really worth the time

    Velas is just a place to stay to have a base to explore the nature on the island. Unfortunately we had rain and fog most of the time and got to see very little. There is an excellent restaurant in the next town, Rosais. It is called O Branqinho and has a fabulous lunch for only about 8 euros.

    This place was an apartment above a cake shop!!

    This place was an apartment above a cake shop!! Breakfast was in the shop and it was open long hours for dinks etc. Very modern and well appointed but very noisy on two nights but this was only because it was festa time.and the stage was right next door in the market I bought some earplugs and after that it was FINE!!

    A very beautiful and quiet place with a great view of the landscape and the ocean. The center of Velas is about 15-20 minutes walk from the place. The rooms are nice and they are cleaned every day. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They even helped us to hire a car, that was really great because it is almost impossible to get one in place. We also enjoyed the homemade jam at breakfast. It is really a great place to stay at São Jorge.

    This property has a great location with an amazing view, host is super nice and helpful, the bungalow is basic but very comfortable and kitchen is equipped with everything you might need. Coffee capsules were a great bonus in the morning :) Beach is very close to the property. You might need a car/taxi if you'd like to hike the mountain trails. Wi-fi is available as well. Good value for money, recommend!

    The small inn is located in Velas a short distance from the good restaurants and the port yet it's a quiet area. The owner, Julia, was very helpful. My room was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. There were 2 balconies, the upper one overlooking Mount Pico, the tallest mountain in Portugal. There were a few bakeries open early for the breakfast.

    Maria was extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotel reminded me of home with the smell of gum trees and the sounds of birds. Quaint rooms and simple breakfasts, o loved that I could go make a cuppa tea at anytime. Sao Jorge is best with a car and car spaces available at Quinta do Canavial.

    The room was a short walk to anything in town. There’s also cafe with one of the better menu offerings in town right next to the hotel. My favourite amenity was the room’s large balcony with a great view of Pico. The staff is friendly and helpful. I asked lots of questions.
