It was clean, and close to the center of the city.

This is a family-run business, and they are very warm, and thoughtful. They make an effort to speak and connect with you. Aisha and Elsa are the main hosts, and went the extra mile to help me find my way around the town, recommending great places to eat and visit. They arranged transportation to pick me up from the ferry, which was great because it saved me the hassle and worry, and a tour of the island. The accommodation is spacious, clean and comfortable. It's close to the centre of town which is less than a 5-minute walk. The bathroom is modern and the rooftop terrace is relaxing with gorgeous views. I enjoyed my stay and would go back!

Comfortable and good value accommodation and food near Faja d'Agua and natural seawater swimming pools. Friendly staff.

Marco, the host, is super kind and attentive, and makes sure you have well beyond all the info you need to enjoy your stay, with detailed instructions of the island's offers, including a link to a hiking app with many trails already marked, and he's very familiar with everything on the island, seemingly through personal experience. He also makes sure you are picked up from the port for the normal fare (if you like), and waits for your arrival to greet you at the doorstep. Rooms are very spacious and clean. In addition, they are cleaned every morning. Mattress is very comfortable. Views are fantastic (either to Fogo, or to the nearby valley) as the hotel is on a little hill, yet less than 10 minutes walk from the main plaza. The room was equipped with a mini fridge, where you can store some drinks for the end of a nice exploration day. An extra screen door protects the room from flies. Breakfast includes various options. When you leave, the host takes care of transportation if you like (again, for the normal fare, no extra charges), and he waits with you until your transportation arrives. An exemplary host, who is truly interested in his guests having the best visit, not only at the hotel, but throughout their entire stay on the island.

Loved the welcome, the information provided to us concerning walking to Faja d'Agua and that we could eat lunch there. Also appreciated the tour arranged for us by Madalena and conducted by David.. Madalena and all her staff are excellent. We felt like VIPs!
