Casa Marisa 2.0

We had our own funku with roof terrace and Pico do Fogo view. Outside simple gym, big restaurant with outside and inside space and pool table. Beautiful cactus garden. The food was delicious and plenty, home made from local ingridients. Owner very cooperative and knowledgable, organizes trips and mountain guides. Location just perfect.

No menu, but anyway everything they offered for lunch and dinner was very good.

The Best is location and friendly atmophere plus very tasty meals

There was absolutely nothing to complain about

Excellent location, friendly owner, nice views

Nothing

Great unique spot. Definitely recommend it, it is worth coming to Fogo just to stay there. We loved the chill spots on the roof with hammocks. Very friendly and helpful owners.

The water pressure wasn't great and our door was broken, and woke us up at night - I fixed it the next day.

The location was stunning. It located in the cratère which make you able to visit easily the volcano. There is a lot to see around the hotel and the hotel itself is worth the trip. I unfortunately wasn’t in the little traditional houses as it was for bigger groups but the rooms were also nice. It was really hot because the heat from the lava is still transpiring from the floor. The food was also super good!

It is not really something I didn’t like but more something to take into account, it is quite expensive to go back to town on Sunday’s as no Aluguer are running. When you are a big group it might be ok however as a solo traveler it might be something to consider.

Mustafa and his wife are great, passionate hosts with very interesting stories to tell the world. They helped us with EVERY SINGLE STEP of our journey in Fogo Island. They arranged us (we were a group of 4) transport for 60€ from Sao Felipe even though it was quite late at night! They welcomed us with a delicious dinner and Mustafa took his time to explain us everything about the area and about hiking options and climbing the volcano. Casa Marisa organised our group a great, professional guide for a price of 80€ - we recommend getting a guide, the hike is much easier and more enjoyable and all guides have plenty of interesting facts to share with the visitors. Casa Marisa looked after our luggages for 2 days when we travelled around Fogo after we left for a trek to Mosteiros. They then picked us up from Las Salinas and brought us all backpacks for a very convenient price. Mustafa even helped us with a bag we lost on the way (it was entirely our fault, we were distracted by the beauty of Salinas). We could not recommend Casa Marisa 2.0 and its owners more. A great place to stay!

The location is amazing, with a great view of the volcano and within walking distance to climb it (albeit a long walk). The food at the restaurant is delicious, especially the frangu (chicken). The restaurant inside and the outside seating is artsy and the garden is beautiful! The guides are extremely helpful and patient on the climb up the volcano.

The prices for the food at the restaurant is more expensive than anywhere we ate in Cape Verde... equivalent to USA prices. That being said, Marisa herself does the cooking along with her staff and she supervises everything. Thus, the high quality. Also, there are only a few other small restaurants nearby, and I can't imagine the cooking being to this level of quality. The waiters are nice, but some of them need to be trained to be a little more open. They tend to be somewhat shy. The bathrooms don't have hot water, but it's not very cold either, probably since the pipes run underground where the volcano keeps the water warmish.
