Guest Reviews

• Chiara (9/5): - Super pour faire des rando, notamment le pic de Antonia mais aussi pour descendre au jardin botanique!
• Sabine (9/5): Geheimtipp in den Bergen mit top Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - Dieses Minihotel ist ein echter Geheimtipp für alle, die ihre absolute Ruhe in den Bergen mit tollen Wandermöglichkeiten haben wollen. Die Zimmer sind klein und absolut sauber und gut ausgestattet. Sensationelles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und man kann zum Quinta de Montanha laufen und dort zu Abend essen, aber ist nicht so in deren Touristenrummel drin. Das Frühstück hier ist sehr liebevoll für jeden Gast zurecht gemacht. Das bisher beste WiFi auf meiner Kapverdenreise. Kennt noch kein Taxifahrer oder Guide.
• Ines (8/5): - The room was extremely clean and cosy. Geisa was a very nice host, she is nice, helpful, and she really cares about the guests. Internet connection was not very good in the room
• Azahara (8/5): Sitio muy bonito y personas que trabajan allí muy simpáticas. - El sitio es precioso. La gente que trabaja allí es súper simpática. El desayuno muy bueno.
• Laure (9/5): -
• Olivio (7/5): -
• Alonso Hernandez (8/5): - La amabilidad del personal y la relación calidad-precio.
• Luis (9/5): -
• Miroslav (9/5): Superb - Friendly personnel, good breakfast, nice terrace with beautifull view, perfect location for hiking. Although map says that there should be kiosk and shop, both were closed all the time I was there. When you come to Rui Vaz, bring your own supplies including bottled water. However, I drank tap water at the accommodation, water tasted good and I had no digest issues.
• Andrej (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matt (6/5): Pleasant -
• Nas1290 (9/5): Superb - -big room -hot water -amazing breakfast -good location to do some hikes -really quiet place -you will have to call the owner for check-in (or give an exact time). Otherwise you will be in front of some closed doors
• Roland (9/5): Laid back - We really liked the peace and quiet and simplicity at Recanto da Montanha. If you are looking for a local experience( rather than a big set up) then this is a good place to start. Our host Geisa was really sweet and helpful. Plenty of hot water and internet worked well It's not easy to stock up once at Rui Vaz, and not much in terms of restaurants except a fairly pricey one further up the hill. There is a little shop run by Rosalinda for very basic stuff. For the rest you'll need to go to São domingos Could do with a little maintenance work.
• Steven (7/5): With a few improvements this place could be great 😊 - Lovely location for various walks. Property was basic but clean. Breakfast for good. Pot of coffee, pot of milk, two eggs , two bread buns , ham, cheese and papaya. Geisa was brilliant, she was very helpful, polite, and concerned that your stay was as comfortable as possible. No soap available. The TV in the room did not work and the internet for some reason did not work either.
• Isaura (8/5): recommended to relax - great location, staff super helpful, an great view
• Vincent (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helmut (7/5): Clean rooms in a great mountain setting. - The location is great, surrounded by nature in a pretty mountain setting. The bedrooms were very clean. The hammock at the upper floor. The female caretaker was very friendly and prepared breakfast for an additional fee. Good shower. It was difficult to locate and needs better instructions on how to find it. LOTS of spiders around. We found 2 BIG spiders in our bedrooms.
• Zdenek (9/5): Very nice house in the mountains - Very nice place to stay. Safe, clean, with running water and working electricity and Internet. There’s also private parking available. Basic breakfast is included and makes a good start of the day. The location is convenient for the mountain walks. We hired a car and used as a base to explore all the island. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The last kilometres of the road after leaving the main road is not asphalted but it’s wide and in very good condition . The view of the mountains around is very nice. Due to the mountains location the temperature is cooler than at the seaside which make the sleeping much more pleasant. We enjoyed our stay here and would come back. There are mosquitoes in the rooms. The rooms are also quite humid (particularly those without windows), so towels or cloth will never dry. The sound insulation of the rooms is not particularly good .
