    Luxury for a low price

    Liked : Best described as "budget luxury". Breakfast and other services were execeptional. The apartment had a lot of space and nice amenities. The #1 in Tarrafal.

    • Large Double Room
  • ElisabettaItaly · Jan 10, 2026 9Exceptional

    Liked : Our room had a balcony with a view of the bay and the mountain, perfect when getting up or relaxing in the evening. The old-style furniture matches the photos.

    Great value hotel with friendly staff well-integrated into the local community

    Liked : Breakfast was excellent, and the location is very convenient. The rooms were impeccably clean. The owner is well-connected locally, which facilitated pursuing the activities that brought me to São Nicolau. Edu's taxi service is especially good: he speaks good English and is very knowledgeable about the island.

    Disliked : The breakfast was rather expensive at ten euros a day, and the charge for using a credit card was too high.
