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 host was very welcoming and gave us a lot of useful tips for our trip.
The location and view were stunning looking straight at Pico mountain! It was great to seat outside at the balcony and enjoy the view with a glass of wine and some cheese!
We were also offered bread, milk and a homemade banana jam for breakfast which was perfect.
We would stay here again if we return to Sao Jorge!

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!!
Such a beautiful view! These are whole houses and that makes it so comfortable as a family. There is a bathtub, fully equipped kitchen, washing machine - everything really. The guest houses are located on the mountainside above Velas and off we stunning views over the ocean and the neighbouring Pico island. The host of these houses is the friendliest and most helpful lady ever. When asked for an extra heater, she went and got one immediately. She checked in on us a few times to make sure we were comfy and she was sweet and kind to our son.
The location is beautiful and overlooks the village of Velas. It is not walkable into town. You will need a car. It is a perfect retreat for relaxing and taking in the views. You will need to go upstairs for the living room
The Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates cups and silverware. There are no spices or oils provided. Towels and bedding linens are provided. The pillows are nice. The beds are hard. Plenty of toilet paper and laundry Detergent. Gisela was extremely attentive and friendly.
The apartment was the perfect size for one or two people, comfortable bed with nice shower, kitchenette and shared patio. Nicely located on a hill just above Velas, with beautiful views of Costa Sudoeste, Casa Dos Lagos provided a serene experience. Will stay there again! The manager was very kind and checked in to see if all was well after a storm. She was very informative on where to go and where to eat, and was flexible on check out given the late departure of the ferry. Very accommodating!
- 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
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 property was very nice, comfortable, and excellent location, walking distance to beach and town. The hostess was very helpful and attentive to our needs. It rained one day when we had our clothes hanging out to dry and when we returned from our outings that day she had taken our clothes to her her home, dried them and returned them dry and neatly folded.
The location is perfect. The room was renovated and very clean. The owners are very nice people, helpful. We had certain issues with our vacation planing and they actively found a way how to ease our inconvenience for our satisfaction. The family runs the hotel for more than 40 years.
very nice and calm place in the heights of Velas. 10min from the town and the airport. Very thoughtful and friendly staff. Many cats and frogs around (don't go there if you don't like animals). The food at the restaurant (cataplana and breakfast) are delicious! I recommand warmly!
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.
Cantinho do Piano is a very nicely renovated house with a few rooms and a beautiful terrace. Our room had many facilities including a washing machine, a kitchen , a bedroom and a sitting room. Very comfortable and spacious. Velas is an amazing place.
Facilities are very clean. Host is very friendly. We had no problem checking in. Host was very accommodating. Met us at 2:00am to give us the keys! Public swimming spot right behind the hotel is beautiful!
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.
Great location and view. Hosts were very accommodating and responded quickly when we had minor water leaking in the bathroom. Parking was easy. We loved Velas as a town.
