Set in Velas, Casa dos Rui´s offers accommodation with seating area. 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.

The place exceeded our expectations simply because of its host Rui! Maybe the room is a bit too small but Rui is a gem! He suggested some very best sport to visit on Sao Jorge, helped to solve return time issue with car rental company, suggested few really nice restaurants and even booked few taxi rides for us. We simply forgot about all the small inconveniences in the house, becase Rui made us spend a great time in Sao Jorge and if you read this, Rui, thank you very much!

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 suite has 2 decent sized bedrooms with king beds (2 twins together), which were very comfortable. One bedroom had a 3 piece ensuite bathroom and the other 3 piece bathroom was just down the hall from the 2nd bedroom. The kitchen had great appliances, including a washer and clothing steamer. We really enjoyed the patio area with inside views of the courtyard. It was a great location where we could easily walk to the gardens, harbour and shopping area.

Wonderful little gem of a hotel on Sao Jorge. This remodeled historic property maintains the quaint feel of life in the centuries past. The staff is very friendly and extremely accommodating if there is anything you need or any questions you may have. The breakfast is an amazing traditional breakfast and we never left hungry. This hotel hasn't been around long, but they are doing such a great job I think they will be around a long time. Beautiful property too with a pool, garden, and little farm where they raise chickens for the eggs you eat at breakfast. This is definitely where we will stay again next time we come to Sao Jorge! Thank you!!

    We stayed in apartment E, which was more beautiful than in the pictures. There is no aircon but we asked for a fan and got one so it was good. The bed could be a bit more modern. This apartment kans a large Balcony and the view is stunning. Antonio is a great host and veri helpful.

    Leticia was a great host, she was really open to answer all our questions and doubts. You have a complete apartment for yourself, tons of space. The breakfast was the best during our roundtrip through Azores. There was variety of fruits, eggs and also cheese. Direct in the same location, there is a good restaurant, from which you can enjoy a great view of Pico.

    Filipe was such a great host! He really made our Trip to Sao Jorge special, not only did tell us all about what to do on the island and where to but also was such an attentive host. The bungalo located centrally on the island which makes it a great place for exploring the island, however one should book a car for that. The bungalow even had a washing machine with a perfect view of mount pico and at night one could hear the sound of the azorean birds / wildlife.
