Casa do Zé - AL
Adorable local cottage in a very small town. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor. Neighbors gave us a walking tour and showed us their garden and taught us history of the area.

Azores Youth Hostels - São Jorge
Excellent location. Staff was friendly. Air conditioner was not working in our room and it was so hot to sleep. The staff tried but could not fix it. Breakfast was simple but fine. Very clean all around and well kept. View was incredible from the front shared spaces.

Aldeia das Adegas
Excellent self catering property. Just a shame about the constantly barking dogs overnight. Would have given 5 stars if not for the barking dogs. Very comfortable. Very private. Well appointed. Good location.
