Felt like at home
We had an amazing stay, we felt looked after like we were visiting family. If you go visit Sao Jorge we highly recommend to stay at Casa D'Avo. Lovely coastal walk from just outside the place as well and nice nearby restaurants.

Wonderful stay in Urzelina
Nice area to sit outside, well stocked kitchen, each room has a cabinet for items, basket of fruit from owner’s garden and lovely cake was on one of the tables for guests to enjoy. Diana works very hard keeping the place clean and is always available if have any questions. Short walk to two excellent local restaurants, small but well stocked supermarket and the Trilho Ecologico da Urzelina (TEU), a beautiful 3 KM coast path.

Everything was perfect. The place very clean, tenants and housekeepers are the kindest. You can enjoy a breathtaking view on Pico from certain rooms.
Everything is made to make you feel at home and it's a success. For my next trip to Sao Jorge I will come here for sure.

Great view, very well maintained, beautiful grounds! Rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. Every person in our party was pleased with this place! When checking in, reception is not marked so note it is the 2nd door on left after you come through the gate.

Best hotel on the hole trip!
Would 100 % recommend this cozy small hotel! Best hotel on the hole trip. Lovely staff in the calm town Uzelina. The rooms were clean and beautiful and it was easy to take a taxi to Velas. You have access to a kitchen where you can make tea, coffees and eat homemade cookies. Beautiful view from the hotel room over Pico.

This was an absolutely lovely property. Victor the host was very welcoming. Deanna checked us in and was awesome! She helped us to find places to eat, interpreted for us getting a cab and was just overall very kind and a joy to be around. Everything was very clean. The views were awesome. The grounds peaceful and very well maintained. We will be back!

Charming place along the coast of São Jorge.
An amazing place to stay! The view of the ocean with pico island is amazing! The owner and housekeeper were both super friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They brought fresh eggs, fruits from their property, and home made jams every morning!
It was nice to have the communal area to meet people (although not too many people in the off season.)
For those curious, laundry service costs EUR 10. But they wash, dry, and fold your laundry. Much cheaper than a hotel.

Really excellent property, very modern and great location. I’m taking down a star because I paid extra for panoramic view and instead got an appartement with no view. It might’ve been of equal value but I wasn’t given a choice at the checkin and even when asked I was still given the apartment. Parking on the street was always full, but there is a public lot a block away that was always available and we just parked there all the time. The checkin lady was very helpful and provided a list of restaurants that turned to be very nice.

Tres belle cuisine et terrasse aménagée.

Adresse à recommander sans hésiter. Merci
