Guest Reviews
- Isabel (9/5): Um pequeno paraíso em Santo Antão - Adorámos o lugar com muita vegetação, muitas flores, um pequeno paraíso. A Kika é muito simpática e acolhedora. Tivemos um jantar e um pequeno almoço deliciosos. Recomendo este alojamento absolutamente e para a nossa próxima viagem a Santo Antão teremos que voltar à Puntinha d'Djô.
- Marion (8/5): Heerlijke plek, prachtige natuur. Het dorp is een half uur lopen tussen de plantages door. - De bedden hadden doorgezakte matrassen. Het dorpje was een half uur lopen.
- ando (10/5): - Si vous voulez rester dans un endroit incroyable, dans la vallée au milieu des cannes à sucre, des bananiers, des manguiers, chez des locaux, mangez comme les locaux, vous êtes au bon endroit, chez Kika et son mari. Ils sont très attentionnés et discrets.
Il y a quelques sentiers de randonnées pour monter la pente très raide de Corda ou un autre sentier. La pression de l'eau mais vous êtes au Cap vert, c'est une denrée rare.
- Sallé (10/5): -
- Krystian Mozol (9/5): - Amazing view from the room, with greenery and nature all around. At night, you can hear roosters, so make sure to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper :) The village itslef is also a great place to visit, with a lovely local atmosphere.
- Jonathan (9/5): - la vue dans les montagnes
- Silvia (10/5): -
- nicolas (10/5): Bel établissement pour une immersion dans un petit village de montagne. - Un petit cocon perché dans un village de montagne. Immersion dans la vie rurale, entouré de champs cultivés et d'animaux domestiques. Excellent repas et petit-déjeuners avec les produits locaux. De belles randos accessibles directement. Pour moi ce n'est pas un problème, mais il faut savoir que vous êtes dans un petit hameau excentré. Pour rejoindre Ribeira grande c'est soit taxi, soit alluger.
- Irene Travel (10/5): Great stay, great people - Lovely place, really nice owners. You can get dinner for 400 per evening, it's very tasty. It's all very clean. There's a few hiking paths you can take from there that are interesting. There's some small stores nearby. I think the people who book something in the countryside of CV and then complain on Booking that there's chickens or the water is not hot etc. Is not good. Look how most people live here, this place is super luxury and nice ❤️
- Javier (10/5): -
- Bettina (9/5): - Die Lage ist perfekt für lange Wanderungen, liegt mit einer super schönen Aussicht am Ende eines Dorfes. Die Atmosphäre war entspannt, haben uns wie bei einer Gastfamilie gefühlt.
Um die Ecke gibt es auch mehrere kleine Supermärkte.
Wir wurden super lecker bekocht, jeden Abend gab es etwas anderes. Reis mit Süsskartoffeln, Kürbis, Manjok und dazu meist einen Eintopf (Linsen, saisonales Gemüse …).
Dass wir Vegetarierinnen sind war gar kein Problem.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt an die Gastgeberinnen.
- MARTINE (10/5): - Logement chez l'habitant, au coeur d'un petit village Emplacement idéal pour faire de magnifiques randonnèes. Petit déjeuner inclus extraordinaire, copieux et composé des produits de la maison. Nous avons aussi pris deux diners excellents pour un prix trés raisonable. Chambre simple mais propre.
- LOIC (8/5): -
- Ingrid (9/5): - La vue de la chambre est tout simplement sublime et reposante !
Les repas préparés sur place sont incroyables, que ce soit le petit déjeuner ou les repas du soir.
L'hôte est très gentille ! Emplacement tout a fait OK si on en fait un point d'étape lors d'une itinérance, mais trop excentrée pour en faire un point de base pour plusieurs jours.
- Juliette (9/5): -
- Polina (10/5): You should definitely experience this!! - Amazing place full of flowers, exceptional food, terrace with stunning views, hostess, view from the room window
- Myriam (10/5): Randonnées, repas, dodo - Au pieds des chemins de randonnées, au milieu des bananiers. Confort parfait, repas du soir et du matin local, frais et délicieux et la dame était super gentille
- Jonny Valente (10/5): - Amazing place in the middle of the forest . Kind and lovely staff , great breakfast too
- Ana Margarida (10/5): Magical place. - I need to come back to Kika's house. She made us feel home. She cooked for us every night and it was the best food i tasted in Cabo Verde. It is truly a special place and I wish i had words to describe it AND the people. We were taken cared of with soul food and breath taking nature surrounding us. I couldn't recommend this place enough.
- Wouter Fl. (9/5): Prachtige groene plek net voorbij Coculi. - Prachtige verborgen plek in Figueiral. Door de positie van het gebouwen is er 's nachts een windje om de nachtelijke temperatuur aangenaam te houden. Niks
- Patrick (9/5): - What a wonderful stay in the heart of this stunningly hilly landscape! I was immediately warmly welcomed by the family. My room was also absolutely perfect. I can only say: book this place.
- Guest (7/5): Great stay! - Staff was very nice, super helpful and they cooked us breakfast and dinner. The views from the terrace are stunning, location is just like in the pictures. Everything was clean. The location is tricky especially if you don’t drive your own car. It’s not easy to find, make sure not to follow Google Maps, better to ask locals.
- Tamara (9/5): Une retraite bienvenue et authentique dans un cadre idyllique - Emplacement merveilleux et bâtisse moderne nichée au cœur de la végétation luxuriante, des bananiers, manguiers et papayers. Hôtes incroyablement gentils, touchants, humbles et avenants. Cuisine de qualité, avec des plats familiaux mitonnés avec soin. Nous avons pris nos repas en commun dans une ambiance conviviale et découvert d’excellents produits locaux. On se sent vraiment bien dans cette maison et dans ce hameau dont les habitants sont gentils et accueillants. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à nous imprégner de ce lieu. - La tranquillité se mérite et l’accès est un peu moins facile que dans d’autres endroits de l’île, mais une fois arrivés en haut, on ne le regrette pas ! Si vous arrivez en ferry, choisissez peut-être celui qui arrive en dernier à Porto Novo, ça vous évitera sans doute une longue attente au port (car l’unique aluguer qui monte à Figueiral da Cima attend les passagers du premier ET du deuxième bateau avant de partir…).
- Si vous avez le sommeil léger, prenez des boules Quiès car les coqs du village sont très actifs et communiquent entre eux durant la nuit, ce qui fait cependant partie du charme de la vie rurale. On a trouvé ça vivant et intéressant, notamment pour les enfants qui adorent être entourés d’animaux.
- Iwona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sachit (10/5): Exceptional -
- Neasa (10/5): Exceptional - What a gem, this place was stunning, really get the full experience of the island. Such lovely hosts and great local food A little hard to get to the hotel, so be prepared for taxis and walking
- Elena (9/5): Great location, lovely hospitality, comfy beds! Highly recommended - The view is stunning from the terrace as well as the mountain view room. Kita the owner is very lovely and gives you delicious food and fresh fruit juices in the morning. The son was very kind to help arrange transfer from the ferry and help over WhatsApp too. The loud roosters that never sleep. 🤣
- Laurens (8/5): Very good - New house with beautiful surrounding and amazing food. Great starting point for hikes.
Would highly recommend
- Perry (8/5): Good ! - Minimalists design All good , I think it could be little cleaner but nothing major
- Simon (9/5): Great place for hiking trips - The location in the middle of a lush valley serves as a great start for hiking trips. The view from the room or the terrace are impeccable. The food was simple but very delicious and always more than sufficient.
Staff is very friendly and helpful - although communication can be a bit tricky if you don't speak Portugese.
Roosters and frogs make for quite an idyllic background sound, but make sure to be tired when going to bed in case you are a light sleeper.
- Gtox (10/5): Fantastic environment - The location was fantastic with views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The owners were extremely gracious..the food delicious..the hiking fantastic..we met a local farming family while hiking and they graciously fed us lunch.. I did not have a travel guide and initially had trouble navigating to find the interesting hiking trails..the owners don't speak English so it would be a good idea to post a guide about the surrounding mountains. Also we discovered the owners only accepted cash which we were low on..they accepted partial payment and stated "no problem..we discussed this and they will try to get alternative payment arrangements..
we are all family".
I highly recommend this pousada..
- Joppe (9/5): Superb - Beautiful scenery and ideal location to start hiking directly from the homestay. Food was always plentiful and delicious (simple but very good). Facilities are very clean. Communication can be a challenge, but with gestures, smiling and google translate you’ll manage. The owners are happy to help arranging transport (also directly to the property if you take the morning ferry). -
