    Everything about this place is wonderful. It sits on a hill above the vila of Velas with beautiful views of Pico. Gisela is also a wonderful hostess, who makes sure you’re happy and have everything you need!

    Gisela met us at the port and we followed her back to the inn in our rental car. Super helpful because it would be hard to figure out how to get up there in the dark. Gisela is very kind and welcoming.
