We had a superb light, bright unit - one of the ones higher up at the back that have views of the mountains, the vineyard and ocean. The owner is really friendly, but very busy running the place, so catch him when you can for local info. He keeps the place rustic and charming and it feels peaceful and private. The property is well placed in the middle of the island for all the sights and a handful of nearby restaurants do good local food. We sadly had a lot of bad weather but the big view at least meant we could watch the drama unfold! The airport is very close by if you are flying. To sum up: a lovely rural place to stay and great value too.
Situada em Velas, a Casa dos Lagos - RRAL nº 2187 oferece acomodações com WiFi gratuito e um jardim com terraço e vista para o jardim.

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.
Situated in Velas in the São Jorge Island region, Velasmar II features accommodation with free WiFi.

Good value, spacious, basic but very comfortable appartment. Beautiful natural swimming pool in the sea at the end of the road. Owners allowed us to check in early and arranged a taxi for the airport.
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!!
The reason I couldn’t give this hotel a great rating was primarily due to the use of highly perfumed cleaning products which I was extremely allergic too. I had to leave the room the first night and read in the lounge area. It eventually got somewhat better but then another underlying smell occurred. Despite this it had an amazing view of Mount Pico and the breakfast included was good with lots of very fresh fruits and good guality food.
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 breakfast was perfect, the location with the views amazing and all the areas to sit and relax. We arrived late in the evening and they had left us a small plate of cheese, bread and a chilled carafe of Maria's husbands homemade tangerine liqueur, quite tasty! We did not have a car and walking into Velas in the evening for dinner and back was quite pleasant.
The bed was very comfortable, the room was spotless and quiet, the host was kind and informative. At check-in, Ana gave me a very helpful introduction to Sao Jorge, even lending me hiking brochures and providing tips on the best sunset viewing spots. Cantinho do Piano is ideally located in the center of Velas. I had a very relaxing time here.
The breakfast was terrific! The owner, Leticia, her son, and Catherina were very accommodating and kind.
The hotel is located in a small village near Velas. You will need a car to move around the island. However, the views from the hotel are unique! Very peaceful place.
The cabins/ apartments are very spacious, comfortable, and clean!
I just loved this accomodation. Our host was so friendly and super helpful (probably the most lovely host we met while traveling across the Azores). The room was spotless clean with very nice decoration which made me feel like being home. A bonus was the huge roof terrace with a view over Velas. I can highly recommend this place!
This was a decent hotel. My room was very small but the bathroom was great. Miguel, one of the owners, was very attentive and kind. The room was cleaned every day and the breakfast was good. The location was the best part of it, very central, close to lots of restaurants, a good supermarket and the main square.
- didn’t meet the hosts but super nice on the phone and really approachable and chilled
- stayed at the tiny studio type and was perfect for 2
- bathroom is perfect, great shower
- view over Morro de Velas and the sunset was perfect
- also great for the sunrise
- kitchen well equipped
- bed was huge!!
Casa dos Lagos was a fantastic stay and exceeded our expectations for view and beauty! The place was cosy, relaxing, and the garden was exceptionally beautiful. The pond, flowers, and view are far more beautiful in person than in the pictures and it was always a joy to eat, sit, and relax outside!
This little cottage had the most amazing views of Velas, Pico and the ocean. The cottage we were in had a living room, 2 bedrooms, dining and kitchen. The unit was very clean. The local cagarros kept us entertained with their very unique bird chatter! Gisella was very friendly!
It's small (I think it was a house once) but within an excellent courtyard. Very clean and the owner is very personable. It's located near the center of Velas near a number of restaurants and the town center and it's close to the water. Has a nice continental breakfast.
It was a lovely stay in Velas on São Jorge Island. The hause was really nice with everything we need and with spectacular view. Our host, Gisela was super nice and helpful. If we ever come back to Velas, we definetly want to stay in one of those fantastic house again.
I arrived earlier than planned and was told my room was already ready so early check-in and leave my stuff to go hiking was no problem.
Very clean room and towels provided. Friendly staff.
Great location, right in the center of Velas.
Everything is very goog (location, room, ocean view, staff, free parking in front of the hotel, beautiful swimingpool and garden,.....). The hotel should be 4 * and not only 3* !!! We do suggest this accomodation !
The apartment is conveniently located near the coast in Velas, a few minutes away from a natural swimming pool with a beautiful view to Pico.
The host is very friendly and helpful.
