What an amazing stay we had at Casa D'Avo! The property is perfectly maintained. The room and common areas were super clean and comfortable. Super friendly staff. And the view is priceless. If we ever return to Sao Jorge Island Casa D'Avo will be our first choice for accomodations.

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.

Nice place

Very nice place and the welcome was very good (provide egg & homemade cookie & fruit). Also received an upgrade. The view is nice and the apartment was quiet.

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.

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

La habitación está genial, las camas son súper cómodas y las almohadas un poco menos, demasiado blandas para mi gusto. Lo mejor del alojamiento son las vistas a la Isla de Pico. Las instalaciones son de 10, unas zonas comunes preciosas y muy bien cuidadas. Tiene una zona de cocina con todo súper nuevo y con todo lujo de detalles y menaje de cocina. En la zona exterior tiene una terraza estupenda con mesas y sillones para disfrutar. Tiene una barbacoa y cocina exterior también. El personal de la limpieza y el dueño son gente súper amables y dispuestos a ayudar en todo momento. Regalan unos huevos de la granja para que los desayunes. Un sitio para repetir
