Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The location of the apartment is great, just within 5 minutes walking distance from the centre of Velas. The view from this apartment is unmatched! When the sky is clear you have a perfect view at Mount Pico. Leodora, the owner, is so sweet and helpful! She was available at any time for assistance or recommendations.
Nothing, it was really good.
Centrale ligging, grote accommodatie en van alle gemakken voorzien. Schoon.
Vrij gehorig
Camera molto bella, pulitissima e ben arredata con cucina servita di tutto l’occorrente per cucinare. Peccato solo averci fatto solo una toccata e fuga di una notte, saremmo rimasti volentieri di più!
La vue sur Pico tout simplement magnifique. L'espace et la propreté. Bien équipé et tout était propre.
Les rideaux des chambres qui laissaient passer la lumière le matin.
It was a very clean vacation appartement. The balcony was a superb extra as it gaves us shelter during a rainy day. There are beautiful walks to do at Sao Jorge, with steep hills.
Nous adorons cet appartement, confortable, clair, pratique avec le trésor de la vue du Pico. Et proche du centre ville. C'est la deuxième fois qu'on y séjourne.

Die Lage war top, super Blick auf Pico, tolle Terrasse, sehr sauber, alles vorhanden Wohnung liegt direkt an der Straße - das ist jedoch typisch Velas (man bekommt mit, wenn ein Frachtschiff angekommen ist und es neue Ware in den Läden gibt, da hier die LKWs fahren), Velas ist für eine Unterkunft auf Sao Jorge sehr zu empfehlen
kaltes Licht in der Wohnung
Appartamento pulito con una vista magnifica di Pico. Proprietaria gentilissima, molto presente e disponibile.
Mi è piaciuto tutto
Unglaublich schöne Unterkunft mit wunderbarem Blick auf den Pico. Tolle Terrasse. Gute Ausstattung Küche. Alles, was man braucht. Supermarkt in der Nähe
Localização e vista muito boas. Gostámos bastante da estadia. O apartamento é bastante bonito, agradável e com muito conforto. Recomendamos vivamente!
Nada a apontar.
We really had a great stay at the Blue Planet. It is well located, just a short walk up from the port, around 10 minutes. There are a few restaurants and the main supermarket within 5 minutes walk. The unit was very clean and comfortable with some great views out to the sea and Pico Island. We had a nice little kitchenette, and a comfortable bed to sleep in. Wifi worked well. Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend this place for your stay in Velas.
Nothing
The view from the patio and inside windows is fantastic. The apartment is on a hill overlooking the ocean and Pico Island. This accommodation is very clean and had everything that we needed. We were allowed early check-in. Our host, Leodora was exceptional. She contacted us by WhatsApp and gave us many recommendations on what to see, restaurants to eat at and also gave us information regarding the Island festival which was fun and interesting. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to friends and family.
Having to leave
Zeer ruim appartement met mooi uitzicht op Pico.
Niets
Très grande disponibilité de l'hôtesse. Très rapide à répondre. Hébergement spacieux, bien décoré, beaucoup d'espace de rangement, bien équipé. Le summum est la terrasse avec la vue sur la mer.
Petit problème d'électricité lors de notre séjour. À été réglé rapidement avec l'aide de l'hôtesse.
Absolutely gorgeous apartment, really lovely owner, great location with fantastic views. Simply perfect.
Loved everything.
La vue et la taille du logement
Équipement basique et manque de décoration, équipement correspondant à du locatif saisonnier.
Tolle Zimmer und herrliche Terrasse
Great location and property. Very attentive host.
The property is incredible, with a good price for 3/4 people, great views and equipped with everything. Good location very close to the center of Velas. And the staff was also super friendly.
It had body wash and hand soap, it didn’t have shampoo (not required at all, but just to inform future guests so they bring their own).
Toller Ausblick aufs Meer und auf den Pico, die Kommunikation war einfach und unkompliziert. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in der Unterkunft!
All was perfect Appartement very bright ! Very good communication with the host

De locatie was perfect! Buiten terras was heel fijn in de zon en mooi uitzicht op Pico. De communicatie met Leodora was heel fijn! Onze boot naar Pico ging twee dagen niet en we konden 2 nachten extra blijven. Heel flexibel!
Die Aussicht nach Pico und die günstige Lage zum Wandern aber auch der nahe liegende Supermarkt

Vista excelente, alpendre muito agradável com mesa exterior e churrasco, bons quartos com A/C, tudo prático e limpo
O único defeito que aponto é que a chaminé do churrasco não fuma bem, acumulando-se fumo na zona do alpendre
Adorei muito bom. Bem localizado com uma paisagem fantástica (linda) com a Ilha do Pico na frente. Boas condições. Cama, duche, cozinha muito bom . Fiquei bem imprecionada com as dimensões do espaço. Estava a contar com um pouco mais pequeno. Mas não . Superou a minha expectativa. Mesmo Top
Para mim o que não gostei de tanto. Como tenho alguma dificuldade em me sentar em acentos baixo. Para mim foi o único ponto negativo da casa . Mas não deixa de estar bem de corado. Mas podia ter mais um ou dois acentos mas altos. Se alguma vez tiver que renovar a Tv . Coloque uma maior e ou colar na parede. Porque em porção do tamanho da casa (espaço) a Tv é pequena ou colocar uma no quarto ou num dos quarto . Até uma em cada quarto . E também eu coloava umas almofadas mais duras , pelo menos duas em cada quatro e deixar as que estão. Até para quem tem miúdos é óptimo. Porque é um espaço muito agradável para quem crianças.
The balcony and its view are incredible. Just incredible.
Rather well equipped, but I didn't like the kitchen directly at the entrance. Beds good, shower very good. View exceptional.
There are many dogs barking day and night. This is a quiet island but unfortunately not a quiet place.
Location, comfortable, spacious and great views
The shower, very slippery when wet
Tout était parfait. L’accueil au top. Et la vue, splendide. Encore merci pour tout 🤩

Foram impecáveis.
The views were stunning. Across the water, Pico Volcano was majestically standing (Pico Island). The kitchen was fully equipped and functioning, and the grocery store was within walking distance. The apartment was very comfortable, clean, full of light, and centrally located. We were able to park right in of the house. All was great!
Localização e vista deslumbrante Simpatia e atenciosidade do anfitrião

Prachtig appartement, veel ruimte binnen en groot comfortabel balkon.

Hea asukoht, kõik vajalik majutuses olemas
Clean, comfortable, well equipped, and amazing views
La disponibilité de l hôtesse , la terrasse avec vue sur mer , l équipement de l hébergement
Un détail : peut être mettre une table plus accessible sur la terrasse
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und gut eingerichtet!
Comme pour toutes nos locations aux acores nous avons apprécié la mise à disposition de la maison dès que possible. Une vue magique. Nous y retournerons!
Großartiges Appartement mit toller Aussicht!
Perfect accommodations in Velas. Easy to walk anywhere in town, but a quiet little spot with great views (especially when the clouds cooperate). Parking in front made things simple and the amenities in the apartment were simple but more than adequate.
Vue magnifique sur l’île de Pico et son majestueux volcan, location spacieuse et bien équipée, proche de la ville et des piscines naturelles, grande salle de douche très agréable
Les tabourets autour de la table extérieure sont rigolos mais pas très confortables, une climatisation (ou un ventilateur) dans la pièce principale aurait été la bienvenue
Las vistas al mar y la isla de Pico son increíbles. El apartamento estaba muy limpio y nuevo y tenia todo lo necesario para pasar unos días con toda la comodidad posible. Zona exterior para cenar y relajarse. Muy buena ubicación y aparcamiento en la misma puerta. Recomendable 100%
Lovely huge apartment, wonderful, friendly, responsive host, and the VIEW of Pico was the perfect way to start and end each day! Will definitely stay again if we ever get the chance to visit Velas again.
Great views, modern interiors and very comfortable.
Not much
Excellent and friendly host. Great location. Amazing view. Very clean. Extremely well equipped with a washing machine, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, and all other necessary kitchen appliances and dishes. I would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful view. Well located in Velas. Excellent value for a huge apartment. Spent so much time on the large covered balcony enjoying the views.
The road was a bit busy but it didn’t make us unhappy we chose this apartment.
The view from the lower apartment is gorgeous! The aesthetic itself was also nice with a lovely bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom were well supplied.
Great location with amazing views of pico. Perfect for a morning coffee with a view of the location was also good. Walking distance from everything while still being on a quiet street. Would absolutely book again.
The location is superb. You are very close to Velas and the airport while still having peace, quiet, and tranquility. The host was very easy to communicate with and very generous in allowing me in early and offering a later checkout than listed. The apartment is clean and the bed is very comfortable. I absolutely loved staying here and hope to be back soon.
The terrace and views and out of this world. Hosts are lovely and everything in the apartment was spotless. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our Azores trip
We had the apartment in the basement, which was very quiet and had superb view on the Pico. The apartment was very clean, had everything we needed - hot shower and comfy bed - and a parking space was always available directly in front of the house. The hosts are the most amazing and nice people, we arrived late by ferry and they picked us up so we can get some groceries done before everything shut down for the Christmas holidays - thank you for the kind hospitality!
Nothing to mention
Beautiful view and tasteful interior, wonderful hosts so helpful with anything you may need. Genuinely lovely space to stay in, much bigger than I even realised on the pictures. Perfect location for stunning sunsets. It was all so well kept and maintained, everything was exactly as you’d want, and more. Would definitely come back.
The only thing I’d maybe have a suggestion is for fluffier towels, but that’s a very small detail I’m picking up on because they were still clean and lots available. Also if you aren’t good at walking, it’s around a 16 minute slight incline to get to the property from the waterfront. Didn’t cause me any issues but if you weren’t a good walker I’m not too sure.
Beautifully appointed with magnificent views of Pico from the terrace.
Spacious for two and beautiful view on Pico vulcano. We were able to check in early. Communication via Whatsapp with owner was very smooth.
Nothing, however it’s a building with two apartments. One above and one below. On booking this is not very clear. The dinner seating area outside is not very comfortable.
Very nice apartment with superb view on the Pico mountain, good bed and all the facilities you need. The best we had till now.
Coming back from the center is 15 minutes walking up the hill.
Modern apartment on the outskirts of Velas. The views from the terrace and the dining area towards Pico Island and Mountain are absolutely beautiful and arguably the highlight of this comfortable apartment. The bedrooms both have very comfortable beds. The kitchen is fully equipped and modern and the dining area is very spacious. There is also a TV corner with a couch comfortable enough for a shorter time. The bathroom is modern and has a walk-in shower. Free parking is available on the street, usually in front of the house. A big supermarket is a 2-minute drive away, as is the town centre. The ferry port is about 5 minutes by car. Nice and easy contact with the people who rent out the apartment via WhatsApp. Self check-in.
Very little! One thing we could have done without is that especially the bedroom next to the at times busy street receives a lot of traffic noise. Trucks, quads, tuned cars and motorbikes in particular cause considerable noise in the morning, which you will hear! Consider bringing earplugs if this is a problem. The living-room section could look homelier, but that‘s just a suggestion. We hardly used it.
So clean! So attentive and kind! Could get responses quickly when messaged! Will be back!
Absolutely nothing. It’s perfect. Best in town!
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.
Lovely modern spacious apartment with stupendous balcony overlooking the ocean. We were kindly picked up at the port and taken to the accommodation.
roomy appartment
airconditioning didn’t work
Clean and bright apartment, beautiful view and comfy beds
Amazing view, super clean, huge place, great deck
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.

The view was stunning and the bed on the veranda to enjoy that view was very nice.

Fantastic views!
Could hear some road / traffic noise.
The apartment was really nice and comfortable, the view was beautiful, the terrasse perfect, we could have all our meals there, play, have barbecue and watch the sky during the night. The host was really kind and helpful. They delivered extra equipment that we have asked for.
Very well organized, good communication, modern, clean, thoughtful details, amazing view! Everything went smoothly and allowed us some restful days with everything that we needed in close distance.
amazing views from the main level balcony. apartment is very large and spacious with a decently well equipped kitchen for cooking meals.
nothing! it was great!
The property inside is good and spotless clean, but the outdoor area steels the show. big area to relax with an awesome view over the city, the ocean and pico on the other side.
