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.

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!

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Schön geräumiges Appartment (Zuzahlung), gut ausgestattet, aber Meerblick kaum. Innen etwas feucht, Wäsche wird klamm und es riecht etwas. Einfachere Zimmer haben Terrassentüren und mehr Aussicht, müssen sich aber Küche und Speiseraum (teils außen) teilen. KEIN TRANSFER, 200km, muß extra bei sata Azores gebucht werden. Zwischenübernachtungen sind notwendig, bei mir waren es drei insgesamt wegen Flugausfällen. Es war trotzdem schön und erlebnisreich. Von März bis Mai ist Regenzeit, gelegentlich kurze Schauer, max. einige Stunden. Der Vermieter ist nett, hilft bei Mietwagensuche, stellt Eier, Obst und Kaffeepads zur Verfügung.

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.

Relax assoluto
Il massimo del relax in un contesto accogliente. Spettacolare la vita sul Pico, proprio di fronte alla finestra. Silenzio e pace. Solo il rumore del mare. Stanza ampia e confortevole. Spazi comuni vasti. Una grande cucina completa di tutto, un patio e un giardino da cui prendere il sole. Il tutto a un prezzo davvero allettante.

Recommande sans hésiter
J'y ai passé 3 nuits et c'est probablement le meilleur établissement que j'ai visité durant mon séjour aux Azores (4 îles visitées) Cet établissement, qui est une maison d'hôte, fournit un excellent petit déjeuner avec beaucoup de produits frais de la région voir du jardin d'Ana, la tenante de maison qui est d'une sympathie exceptionnelle, s'assure que tout est toujours en ordre et d'une aide toujours précieuse en cas de besoin ! Pour les parties communes, la maison dispose d'une très grande cuisine complètement équipée avec une salle à manger, une terrasse avec des tables pour le repas, un jardin et quelques transats, le tout avec une splendide vue sur l'océan et l'île de Pico. La chambre n'est pas immense mais la literie très confortable, une penderie, une salle de bain grande et parfaitement aménagée. Je recommande ce logement sans hésiter vu le prix très abordable et un séjour sans rien à reprocher !
