Property information
Funcos are the traditional houses of Chã das Caldeiras. They are always circular in shape and with a stone facelift. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom with hot water. In an ecological concern, the furniture is made of pallets. Rainwater is captured to supply the well and the water used is reused to water the plants and flush the toilets.
Electricity comes from solar panels and the Funcos have water heated by a solar water heater.
Unlimited WiFi is also available for customers.
Come live the experience of sleeping in traditional houses at the foot of the Fogo volcano! From here, you can take on several hikes, each more spectacular than the last. Joao is a native from there and can be your guide to hike the Pico do Fogo!
We will be delighted to welcome you among us and make your stay here unforgettable.
If you have any questions, just contact us. We are waiting for you!
