Well located in the centre of Velas. Very kind and welcoming staff. Even helped with my luggage! Let me use the room early, which was a great relief since I was a feeling bit seasick!

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.

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.

The position is beautiful right in the beach. The idea of independent houses is good.
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!!
Hotel was a bit hidden away through some very small streets, but is located at a beautiful location. From the hotel there is a very nice view over the ocean, and you can see the other islands (Pico and Faial) in the distance.
Very friendly staff that gave us good recommendations for places to visit on the island, and were also very helpful during the serving of the breakfast. The hotel also has a restaurant, which serves some good dinner for not too much money.
Super clean, extremely comfortable bed and really friendly and responsive hosts.
The place also has a phenomenal view of the cliffs nearby in Velas, as well as Mount Pico. We only stayed one night but it was a great spot and we wished we had more time. The garden was cool and overall had a very laid back vibe. We also appreciated the laundry onsite. The host also allowed us to check in early which was really helpful.
- Fully equipped, clean, new apartment, with privacy and modern, nicely decorated interior (very good kitchen and bathroom)
- Beautiful view from living and sleeping room with own terrace (direct view of Pico island)
- Very personal and kind attention of both owner and a care taking person passing by every day
- Parking on the property
- Calm neighbourhood, up the hill, close to Velas but off the main road
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 property is beautifully appointed and centrally located in the beautiful village of Velas. Room was spacious, clean with views towards the ocean. The kitchen with conservatory was delightful, was so lovely to enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the sun and views. Ana, the host, provided some great suggestions on what to visit during our short stay.
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 property had stunning views and it is well located in the city. We watched a huge rainbow for over 30 minutes from our place. Beautiful!! It was close to downtown and a large market. The hostess Gisele was very sweet snd helpful. We will definitely tell our friends to stay here when they come visit the beautiful town of Velas!
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.
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.
The property is located on the hill of Velas city with an amazing view on Pico mountain and the sea. Nice walking distance from the city center. Apartment is well equipped, spacious and clean. It is perfect! The owner replies to messages fast and is very helpful.
The facilities are located pretty close to the center of Velas, and has an amazing view. The room was wide and equipped with 3 beds; functional setup with what you need for a stay in sao jorge. The staff has been friendly and helpful.
lovely place, all you need at hand, amazing view on Velas, and wonderful smile and hospitality of Gisela and family.
best to have a (good) car or good physique to walk up from Velas :) but definitely worth while!
Well located in the centre of Velas. Very kind and welcoming staff. Even helped with my luggage! Let me use the room early, which was a great relief since I was a feeling bit seasick!
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.
Close to the city center of Velas, this is a nice Hostel-like B&B. Very friendly and helpful host Julia. Spotlessly clean place. Next supermarket only a one-minute walk away.
A decent hotel. Rooms came to age though. Location is excellent: the view is superb and it is close to the center of Velas. Good breakfast with a lot of choices.
