Deborah
the United States“We visited several islands in the Azores and Sao Jorge was our favorite. Aldeia da Encosta is a lovely property and Gisela and her husband were kind and generous hosts. As others have said, the location is on a steep hill; everything on Sao Jorge...”- Paulo the United States“Fantastic location and views . Host Gisela is wonderful and guided us throughout the trip and helped us when we needed. The vila is well equipped and a special garden table enabled us to have breakfast in the garden with unique views of Pico...”
- Baran the United States“Spacious, clean, easy to find and check in! We were just two people but this property can easily fit 4 or 5 if needed. Host is very nice and helpful, and gave us some nice recommendations around the island!”
Melissa the United States“Everything, it was absolutely amazing. The views were gorgeous and our host was spectacular.”- Marie the United States“Absolutely stunning views from the apartment! Very spacious and had the amenities we wanted. The host Gisella was great with our check-in and check-out.”
- Annette the United States“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!”
John the United States“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.”- Jolanda
the Netherlands“Very nice view, clean house, has everything you need. And Gisela is a great hostess!” 
William the United States“Geisela is amazing - she treated us like family. Incredibly romantic cottage. Spectacular views of Pico. We ate our meals on the porch in incredibly picturesque surroundings. The only negative was having to leave.”- Michael the United States“The view was awesome and Giselle was a great host!”
