Some units in the homestay have private entrance and are equipped with desk and wardrobe. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and slippers, units at the homestay also have free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. At the homestay, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Beautiful and large renovated property with a lot of history, still run by the original family who owns it. The large garden is super peaceful and perfect to recharge after a day of hiking in S. Jorge. Everyone at the property was super kind, welcoming, and thoughtful - from D. Graça, the owner, to André and Catarina. Truly a special place that I would recommend without hesitation, and the favourite among all the places we stayed at during our two weeks in the Azores.

All units are fitted with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a microwave, a kettle, a shower, a hair dryer and a desk. Featuring a private bathroom, units at the guest house also feature free WiFi. At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. This hotel was wonderful, I would absolutely stay here again if I ever return to Sao Jorge. The woman who ran the place was so kind and friendly. She let me check in early (I'm sure it's not always possible) and she gave me restaurant recommendations and told me a bunch of places to go see that were walking distance around town. The room was well decorated, comfortable, and modern. It was great to have a desk. The bed was really comfortable, so if you like beds that are a little soft, this was a good one. The shower was really good. There was a shared kitchen for guests to use, and even though I didn't really use it, it looked good and if I was staying longer, I would've made a few meals. The fridge in the kitchen had individual trays for each room so you could put stuff in there and keep yours separate from everyone else's, that was a nice touch. Overall this was a really fantastic hotel and I would definitely stay here again if I ever get back to Sao Jorge.

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. We had a very nice time at the home of Ruis, and we only wish we could stay longer. The house is very clean, the room we booked comes with a nice private bathroom, and we could also use the kitchen. The hosts waited for us at the port, as our boat was late, explained the most beautiful points on the island, and helped with our car rental, and found a taxi for the faja hike we did one day. In the evening we had very nice conversations with Rui the uncle, while listening to the most fantastic cries of the cagarro birds flying above our heads and the nearby rock - it is one of the most memorable things from this island. The house is 15-ish minutes walk to the center of Velas, as well a big supermarket. The whole town is very safe and pleasant. The island is very beautiful, with some dramatic scenery, and our most honest advice would be to stay longer on Sao Jorge, if possible. The faja hike is one of the most pleasant and enjoyable hikes we have done.

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!
