The property was great. Nice views and near to the hiking trails. Very powerful shower. Free strong Wi-Fi in the public areas. Amazing manager who was fluent in English and strives to ensure everybody was happy.

Nothing - on reading some bad reviews I feel this is naive and unfair. The hotel is High in the mountains. Bring a fleece if you feel the cold. Also you are in a developing west African country - if you expect Sandles - then book that. This hotel is a great example Of hard work and vision.

The location was excellent with lovely views. Although the food choice is limited it was very tasty. The cachupa at breakfast was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I didn't like some of the reviews which were unfair. The hotel is at the top of a mountain. It is colder here than lower down but this is to be expected. The staff wear thick clothes because they are cold. It is a poor area and it is not reasonable to demand that fires are lit. Wear outdoor clothing and it is perfectly warm. There are plenty of blankets for the bed.

very friendly staf and manager; good food. we were lucky to hear the manager sing and playing guitar. we had a wonderfull evening! tranport to Praia or San Domingos: very easy. beautiful walks with a guide to the picos San Antonio.

sometimes we had to wait a little to long for the food. after you order, they wait for the other guests to order and they make the food for everybody on the same moment. so everybody ate together, whether you just arrived or waited already one hour. It’s best to know that so you won’t get frustrated or impatient.

Amazing location, beautiful views and friendly staff. Clean rooms, great hot shower with good pressure. Reliable strong WiFi. Fabulous, well sign-posted hikes nearby.

The pricing of food and drink was not clear as there were no menus provided- would be great to have a menu for clarity. Otherwise we were very happy and loved our stay.

A great location for a hotel with amazing views. Very good food and a delicious breakfast with loads of variety. Too much to handle on you own ;) The first night I met the owner, a very friendly and welcoming guy, who spoke perfect English.

Note: I was the only guest in this big hotel. Maybe things would have been different if there had been more guests. Communication with the staff was rather difficult.The only lady speaking a bit of English left every day at 3 p.m. The owner was only around the first night. Couldn't get any precise information about the collectivos or anything else. At a place in such a location at such a price I would expect some information about hiking being provided in form of maps or little guidebooks. There was no information material whatsoever in the room. The balcony was very dirty, when I arrived + not all the lamps were functioning in the room.

Amazing view; very friendly and accommodating staff; good food; great location for hiking

Some minor safety issues for a toddler: baby cot had some broken pieces; balcony fence a large gap

We had a fabulous three days stay here. The rooms were very comfortable with lovely views from the balconies. we enjoyed walking in the surrounding hills. We had excellent massage on site. The staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant is excellent with a delicious buffet supper and a pleasant breakfast.

The location on the top of the mountain and in a village. The restaurant was nice. The views were fabulous.

It was a little like a field camp, the lights in the room were dim. But they were big.

I loved the restaurant area and the hammock in the balcony of the room. The restaurant was great and the staff were kind. Absolutely gorgeous mountain setting! Perfect starting point to climb Pico da Antonia.

Not much to improve, though the WiFi did not work well in the room's balcony area and didn't work in the room.

Far from civilization, access via a winding, scenic road. We asked in the town downstairs which street to turn into. Rooms with a terrace and a wonderful view of the island. Modestly, but cleanly. The food was in the form of a buffet, which we liked. We woke up in the clouds this morning! They passed
