Charmant verblijf om Sao Jorge te verkennen.
Pros:

De locatie was prachtig, mooi zwembad met schitterend uitzicht. De kamers zijn ruim met een groot en comfortabel bed. Ontbijt is redelijk simpel maar lekker.

Cons:

De muren zijn dun, dus je hoort de kamer naast je.

Man könnte viel mehr daraus machen
Pros:

Zentrale Lage, grosse Zimmer, Ausblick auf Pico, Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen, freundliches Personal, bekamen ein Lunch-Paket, da wir am letzten Tag aufgrund der Fährzeiten nicht frühstücken konnten, Frühstück einfach aber reicht (Kaffee, Tee, Müsli, Joghurt, Palatschinken, Marmelade, Butter, Käse, Gebäck, Eier), Wlan

Cons:

Könnte etwas sauberer sein, beim Essen im Restaurant sehr lange Wartezeiten, kühle Zimmer (jedoch Heizstrahler vorhanden), sehr hellhörige Zimmer

Hotel mit ganz viel Herz
Pros:

Super super nettes und liebevolles Personal in einem ganz wundervollen kleinem Hotel. Unser kleines Häuschen war einfach perfekt. Tolle Aussicht, alles gepflegt.

Cons:

etwas mehr Stauraum wäre für Kleidung oder auch einmal nasse Badesachen zum aufhängen super gewesen.

Pros:

Sehr schöne und gepflegte Anlage mit tollem Blick auf die Küste und Pico. Die Eigentümer sind sehr freundlich. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, Frühstück und Abendessen im Restaurant sind ebenfalls gut.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind etwas dunkel und wir hatten kontinuierlich 1-2 Ameisenstraßen im Zimmer. Fliegengitter wären hilfreich, da immer einige Insekten in den Räumen waren.

Excellent stay!
Pros:

Beautiful location with a garden and saltwater pool overlooking the ocean and Pico Mountain. Our lofted room provided a blend of charm and comfort, with a large bed, jetted tub, and automatic skylight window. The owner was very welcoming and accommodating! We really enjoyed the daily breakfast with freshly baked bread and spreads made from local ingredients.

Cons:

Walls were a bit thin but not much of an issue for us

Pros:

Arrivée en" catastrophe@ parce que les avions ne décollaient pas depuis 4 jours de Horta j'ai pris un ferry pour Sao jorge et accepté le 1er hotel qui acceptait de ne pas être payé en ligne.(possibilité de décommander si un vol) Depuis 4 jours j'étais dans le brouillard et je découvre un lieu magique: l'ensemble des chambres tout en basalte s'articule autour d'un jardin de rocaille extraordinaire à l'anglaise maîtrisé dominant la mer et en contre champ le mont Pico avec au centre une piscine. Des chats, des poules. L'avantage : un restaurant sur place, en contre bas; en rotonde réalisé tout en bois comme une structure de parapluie qui repose sur des fenêtres ouvertes sur cet espace bucolique d'un autre siècle. La cuisine est excellente, simple avec les produits du jardin et ou de l'île-pain, yaourts, confitures sont faits maison- service et décor de table très soigné; un accueil chaleureux. On se sent en famille. Certes un peu éloigné du centre de Velas - il faut une voiture/ taxi- un tel lieu est rare sur les différentes iles des Açores. Venir y passer plusieurs jours pour se déconnecter.
