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.

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.

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.

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.
