Guest reviews for Black Mamba
"We had a wonderful stay at Black Mamba. Our ocean-view room was very comfortable and decorated with great style and personality. The whole place feels welcoming and unique, with a warm atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The vegetarian cuisine is excellent — the homemade ravioli and the whole breakfast were truly amazing. We also really appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the staff throughout our stay. Highly recommended!"

"I have no words to describe how much I loved this place. I felt instantly at home and I could have stayed for a whole month without getting bored. It’s incredibly comfortable, clean and well located. The food is delicious. The owner helped us plan our days with amazing tips and the animals just wanted to cuddle whenever given a chance. I have to come back!"
"That I had to leave."
"We had an amazing stay at Black Mamba. Breakfast, dinner were fantastic. Liana was very helpful host. Beautiful views from the balcony, we could hear the sound of the ocean from our window. Cats and dog is super cute."

"This is a real sweet place with a restaurant below and a nice staff. It’s less than ten minutes to walk into the center of Paul and really easy to catch public transport. And it’s a fun, artsy atmosphere."
"If you like to shower at night, be aware there’s little water pressure and no hot water after 6pm. And if you’re sensitive to noise, I wouldn’t call this a quiet option. More on the lively side! : )"
"Wow. This place was amazing! Great views, great food, amazing staff. Liana is so helpful! One of the best places I've ever stayed!"

"An absolutely must when visiting Santo Antao. Beautiful hostel, with an amazing atmosphere, and Liana, who is the owner was amazing. From the food to advise about where to go and what to do. It was a great base to go hiking in the area, and we ended up staying for 5 days. Absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend to stay here!"

"Everything about this place is fantastic. Liana and her staff were charming and helpful, the food was delicious, beer was cold, the facilities are great, location is close to perfect and even the cat was pretty cool. I called it home for 3 nights and would have gladly stayed longer if I could have. They also accept credit cards for a small fee (convenient and not common in CV). You can walk to town in 5 minutes. Liana will suggest excellent hikes that are not commonly known, as well as good spots to eat and drink."
"This is not a criticism, it's a caveat: Black Mamba is a lively place in a real local neighborhood. Expect roosters in the morning, football matches on the dusty pitch in the evenings, neighbors chatting outside and the sound of the ocean to lull you to sleep at night. It may not be the best choice for someone who's looking for a very quiet respite or absolute privacy. I wasn't -- I wanted a place with soul. It has plenty."
"An excellent and interesting guesthouse and the owner was lovely and made sure we had everything. The food was excellent and they made a special effort as to make vegan food for me."

"We liked Nova Sintra. It is very charming particularly the central place. We liked the path to Fuja da Agua, a very beautiful and particular hike for many reasons. The Guesthouse itself was good and Eurico is nice and helpful. The breakfast is copious."

"Really clean and comfortable place to stay. Lovely plant filled courtyard. Really helpful host - helped me with getting a ferry ticket. On the edge of town (but just a few minutes walk into town) so lovely and quiet."
