Velas Vacation Rentals

"We had a truly lovely stay at this charming guesthouse. The owner and her husband are without a doubt the sweetest people we met during our trip. On the morning of our departure, her husband even offered, completely on his own initiative, to drive us to the ferry. That level of kindness and hospitality is rare these days and deserves to be recognized. The place itself is spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. There’s a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout, with a beautiful common area where you can relax and unwind after a day of exploring. You can tell that a lot of care goes into maintaining the property, it feels like a home, not just a rental. One of the highlights is the stunning view of Pico from the house. Waking up to that view each morning was a gift. Whether you’re enjoying your coffee outside or just soaking in the peace and quiet, the setting is perfect. Everything was well-organized, from check-in to check-out. The room was comfortable, the linens were fresh, and all the small details were in place. It’s clear that the owners take great pride in what they do and it shows. We would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a genuine, heartwarming stay in the Azores. "

"Amazing and helpful staff! Loved the stunning garden grounds which are well groomed and maintained regularly. Overall a beautiful hotel! "

"Excellent location. Staff was friendly. Air conditioner was not working in our room and it was so hot to sleep. The staff tried but could not fix it. Breakfast was simple but fine. Very clean all around and well kept. View was incredible from the front shared spaces. "

"This is a beautiful property that opened 10 days before we stayed, so they were still working out little issues. The staff was very solicitous and the wine tasting in the cave was a really nice experience. The pool for the main rooms is indoor and lovely. The VIP rooms have their own small pools. The breakfast on the terrace was lovely. There is no outdoor pool, bar or restaurant. "

"The rooms and property are really lovely and quiet and the staff was very generous and wanted to make our stay special. "

"The location and view"

"Beautifully maintained historic property, the owner is very hospitable. The breakfast is is all you need to start your day."

"Setting was peaceful, easy parking, restaurant was wonderful. Jorge and the staff in the restaurant were very helpful and very nice"

"We were warmly welcomed by Miguel, the owner/manager of the place. We experienced a slight inconvenience with our room at arrival, but Miguel quickly offered us a solution, which was suitable and much appreciated. The view from the terrace was incredible! This is related to the town and not to the lodging, but for dining options, at the time of the year that we went (early June) there were not much choices. But overall, a good experience! :)"
