Velasmar, hotel in Velas

Set in Velas, Velasmar provides accommodation with a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a kitchen. Each unit features an oven, microwave, a coffee machine, as well as a toaster.

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.

Intact Farm Resort, hotel in Velas

Offering a barbecue and views of the sea, Saint Jorge Farm and Bungalows is located in Velas. Free private parking is available on site. Each room includes a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

We had a superb light, bright unit - one of the ones higher up at the back that have views of the mountains, the vineyard and ocean. The owner is really friendly, but very busy running the place, so catch him when you can for local info. He keeps the place rustic and charming and it feels peaceful and private. The property is well placed in the middle of the island for all the sights and a handful of nearby restaurants do good local food. We sadly had a lot of bad weather but the big view at least meant we could watch the drama unfold! The airport is very close by if you are flying. To sum up: a lovely rural place to stay and great value too.

    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!! 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 stunning, peaceful, and marvellous. From the bungalows, you have a really impressive view over the ocean, to Pico island and to Pico mountain. The bungalow is comfortable and well equipped. Ideally located for the airport, Ferry Port, Velas, and touring around São Jorge. The owner is really friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. An excellent relation price - facilities. Highly recommend for your stay in São Jorge !!

    The best part about this place is the incredible ocean view from nearly anywhere on site. It is high on a hill, a bit outside of Velas, with ample places to sit outside and watch the incredible sunsets. Within 20 minutes walking distance is a beautiful natural swimming pool that was totally empty in the mornings. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. There was also a bathtub in the room, which was a nice bonus.

    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.

    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 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 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.

    This little cottage had the most amazing views of Velas, Pico and the ocean. The cottage we were in had a living room, 2 bedrooms, dining and kitchen. The unit was very clean. The local cagarros kept us entertained with their very unique bird chatter! Gisella was very friendly!

    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 location was perfect. We walked everywhere in downtown Velas. If you are looking for an impersonal fancy Hotel, this is not the place. The owner Senhora Ângela and her son treated us like family anticipating our needs. The room was immaculate. We will definitely go back!
