It was amazing! Aaron and Ellen created a beautiful and peaceful place in the nature and at the same there is nothing you will miss. They helped with planing trips, organized great guides and explained the island and the culture while serving cocktails! We will come back!

I lived the old colonial time house, which was transformed into the hotel. Renovation is really well done which preserves the spirit of the building and is very atmospheric. Emmanuel, chef of staff is very friendly and helpful. He also makes great cocktails! Best place to stay in Sao Filipe.

Maybe my favourite stay in Cape Verde. Everything was clean and my room was spacious and comfy, and even had a balcony. As far as I could tell all three rooms overlook the sea, looking towards the island of Brava where the sun sets. Stunning views. Easy walk into the centre of town. Albino was so accommodating - helped me arrange various trips / transport, let me do some very basic cooking in the kitchen, you can help yourself to beers, water etc for a good price, breakfast is nice too. Just a warning that when I was there it's not in the exact same location as Google maps shows it - fortunately some guys gave me directions, and Albino actually spotted me walking from his truck, and gave me a lift to the right place!

Set in São Filipe, 200 metres from Sao Filipe Beach, Hotel Ocean View & Restaurante Seafood features a bar and views of the mountain.

It was wondeful to stay here. VERY friendly and informative staff - good breakfast providing exactly what You need - comfortable bed - and real fast WiFi. On top of this came a FANTASTIC undisturbed view from the room to a wide canyon and to the Atlantic Ocean where the sound of the wawes gave a true feeling of tranquility. Also the location of the hotel was the BEST in town. On a beautiful square with the old cathedral on one side, the ocean on the other side and the hotel in between. Nothing could have been better for the moderate price. There is some renovation taking place but this gave NO PROBLEMS for my stay...

The landscape is nothing short of spectacular—hardened black lava, rugged volcanic terrain, and an ever‑present view of the majestic volcano create a surreal and immersive experience. The funco structure—a traditional Cape Verdean circular house—is thoughtfully built with sustainability in mind: pallet furniture, rainwater harvesting, reused water for plants and toilets, solar panels for electricity, and solar‑heated water. Every morning, a freshly prepared breakfast by Restaurant Isabel was delivered directly to my room—sweet and savory pastries, fruit, and juice—luxurious in its simplicity. My hosts, Léa and João, were absolutely wonderful. They welcomed me warmly from the moment I arrived, with genuine kindness and a sense of caring that made me feel instantly at ease. João is a guide, ask him for hikings! I also want to highlight the friendliness of every person I met in the area—they were open, warm, and made this journey feel safe and connected. At night, I would gaze up at the stars from my cozy funco—the sky, completely free of light pollution, felt like a universe unfolding just for me.

Located in Portela, Casa helena provides accommodation with seating area. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The guest house features family rooms.

The location in the old crater and near the highest volcano is impressive. We stayed 6 days at casa Helena with our 18 months old child and had a great stay. Sicilio and his family are super friendly, they cook delicious food and breakfast. They are always ready to answer questions about logistics (such as airport transfer) or activities (tour of the island, hikes) and to share their experiences. I also recommend Sicilio’s brother as guide to climb the volcano!
