Casa Das Ilhas

"Amazing place to stay - beautiful views in every direction. Rooms are simple, but comfortable and great value for the price. The included breakfast was a good start to the day and the dinners served communally for a reasonable charge were very filling and locally sourced. It was nice to meet other travelers - not as easy to do these days. The owner is a dynamo who can take care of everything while switching between French, English, German and Portuguese."

"It was election season and the campaign ads blasting through the valley were mind-numbing. They did stop by 6pm and it's only for a few weeks every 4 years."

"The views, nature, peace of the place, and the local community made for a unique experience."

"The ascent to that heaven was a workout that on an occasion or two I wished it had not been there. But that's the price you pay to be in that wonderful refuge."

"The location is absolutely breathtaking. Nestled in the heart of the Paul Valley, the views from the terrace and the pool are postcard-perfect. It’s the perfect place to disconnect and soak in the natural beauty of Santo Antão."

"Wifi in the room is a bit weak, but that’s the point of stay away from city and get detox. Also be prepared for a little hike, but the view at the top makes it totally worth it!"

"Definitely the place to be especially as solo traveler. The owner is super helpful and knows basically everything. She can organise taxis everywhere, recommend things to do. The rooms are all good, even though my bathroom was outside it was super clean and my private one. 15min climb but I knew before booking and was even able to do it with my backpack otherwise there are people who can help. Breakfast was really good most things locay grown."

"Nothing"

"Beautiful house on the hills with amazing view. The surroundings are very green and quiet. Our room was simple but clean. The swimming pool is amazing for a quick dip after all the hiking."

"Aucun."

"Great location Amazing views Close to some great hiking spots"

"Food in evning was ok but nothing special. Breakfast was quite basic, would have been nice to get more options"

"Me and my sister had a wonderful time at Casa das Ilhas. We did amazing hikes, thanks to the owner Katelijne, who indicated the routes on our phone and arranges the transfer to the starting point of the hike. That was really great! Each evening we enjoyed a tasty dinner after a long day of hiking. The rooms are basic but contain everything you need, including a beautiful view and a very comfortable bed. We would definitely come back!"

"Nothing!"

"We really liked the hospitality and the care that Katelijne has for her guests. The host helped us organise the various trekkings that we did, and told us which were the best ones for our level. The food was very good, breakfast is very generous and you also have the possibility to have lunch at the table or as a picnic (usefull if you are planning a long walk). Dinners are all together and the food is high quality. If you want to feel at home this is the right place for you. The new added pool is just what you need after a tiring day, and the view will just blow your minds. To get to the hotel there is a bit of a walk, but there will be people helping you out with your luggage, and the beautiful view and great hospitality are absolutely worth it. The island is gorgeous and the stay at Casa Das Ilhas is a must!"

"Aucun."

"Helpful owner and staff. Food and drinks on an honesty box system. Table d'hôtes where people mix and socialize during breakfast and dinner. Homemade jam and yoghurt at breakfast."

"WIFi could be better. It was not usable in my room or on the terrace. Ok in the main building."

"A perfect place for those who know why they've come to Santo Antão – and who value atmosphere and simplicity over touristy attractions. Ideal base for hitting the hiking trails – the location is great, and Katelijne is super helpful with organizing routes or transport...or anything you need. You can really disconnect from the outside world here. Bonus: amazing view from the window :)"

"Not for everyone – but for the right kind of traveler, it’s exactly what you’re looking for. You can/have to fully disconnect here: both thanks to the remote setting and the limited Wi-Fi (available only in the common area)."
