Guest Reviews
- Christine (10/5): -
- Simon (10/5): super -
- Henri (10/5): - Séjour idéal au cœur de la caldeira dans le village de Portela. L'accueil a été chaleureux, la chambre propre et confortable, la nuit très tranquille. Merci beaucoup de l'accueil et à bientôt ! Rien
- Eduardo (10/5): Estancia tranquila y cómoda en un lugar único - La hospitalidad, la localización y el confort Nada todo correcto
- Cind' (9/5): - Propreté, petit déjeuner copieux, lit confortable Pression et température de la douche un peu capricieuse, bruit des voitures qui passent devant le logement
- Marion (10/5): - Le séjour était parfait, l'accueil de la famille et les services proposés sont top, la chambre est très propre et confortable. L'emplacement est idéal pour l'ascension du Mont Fogo et la vue est superbe.Mention spéciale pour le plat de poulet un vrai délice!
- Julien (10/5): Parfait, j’y retourne avec plaisir - Ils sont adorables.
Les chambres sont biens, bien équipé.
Vue sur le volcan magnifique.
La personne qui cuisine est très gentille, et c’est très bon. Évitez le guide « Claudio « , annulation à 20h30 pour un départ le lendemain à 6h du matin….
La cuisinière nous à trouver un guide de remplacement, merci 🙏
Et le surlendemain évitez l’excursion « champ de café, repas, piscine naturelle, baobab… » c’est clairement de l’arnaque à touristes…
- Maël (10/5): - Super hôtel pour préparer l'ascension du Pico de Fogo. Très bon rapport qualité prix avec un petit restaurant très sympathique.
Le personnel est très accueillant et le guide proposé aussi.
- Aruaí (10/5): - The location was beautiful and perfect if you plan to hike the volcano. Our host was so sweet and she cooks amazingly! Best homemade food I had in Cape Verde.

- Éléonore (10/5): -
- Stephen (5/5): good location but pay in advance .dont expect much by way of facilities. - location was great. we booked the property in order to climb pico de fogo and it was right at the base. food provided by host was tasty and plentiful. Host were friendly. We initially booked a room with transfers from the airport but having booked we were told transfers were not included and a private transfer was 60 euros each way ( 45 min trip) . the return trip was not a private transfer as we shared with approx 10 other villagers going to town and the driver/owner forgot about us and we were close to missing our flight.
the room cost was higher than advertised on booking .com .
there was no hot water in our room so we had to have a cold shower.
there were no other guests staying at the same time as us. Room was a good size but the bed was a standard double. there was room for a bigger bed.
- Chandni2k7 (7/5): Good - Great location as all of the lodges are in cha das caldeiras. Airport shuttle was great although slightly expensive for the journey there (€50). The room I stayed in was very clean. No hot water in any of the properties i think so shower in the daytime. Next to no WiFi so it is good if you want to be off grid. The family living there did not speak English so at times this created problems but the food they cooked was very nice. Remote host could do more to provide information about stay and transport rather than just say "don't worry" 😄
- Esselink (9/5): Really lovely familiy - The people were very nice and generous. They helped me in any way they could. It's a really lovely family. I stayed here for three days, in which they helped me being picked up and dropped off in São Filipe. Also, the son guided me to the top of Pico de Fogo. And the food here was really amazing, best chicken I've had so far!
- Markus (10/5): Great stay - The location is perfect. Right at the start for the hike to Fogo. The location in booking is (as of today) not correct, its right in the center of the village.
But the owners are superfriendly and can send you the details via WhatsApp.
I arrived late because I was hiking till sunset and he waited outside on the street, and after check in I got a really delicious meal.
The room has 3 comfy beds, enough plugs to charge and extra blankets. The bathroom is modern and has a shower (unlucky only with cold water).
In the main building there are tables and chairs and a small bar. There is beer, wine, softdrinks, water....
Everything is clean and the WiFi works great.
Breakfast is included, but I didn't use it as I was out hiking.
From the house you have perfect views of Fogo.
I can really recommend this place.
- Alexei (10/5): Great place to stay in Cha das Caldeiras - Superb place to stay in the village of Cha das Caldeiras. The guesthouse is relatively new and taken well care of. The facilities are clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Convenient location just at the beginning of the hike to Pico. There is a hotel bar and restaurant on site with reasonable prices for water and drinks (indeed the same price as in the shop across the street). Do yourself a favor and arrange the food at the restaurant before you arrive, as the food here is absolutely delicious! Also possible to buy a packed sandwich for the early morning hike to the Pico, and perhaps have the breakfast packed (actually not much difference as the breakfast is bread, cheese, boiled egg and some fruits). Would not hesitate to stay here again. Nothing
- Esmira (10/5): Highly recommend - This is a very nice place to stay for couple nights. Quiet, comfortable. Breakfast was included and I have asked for it at 6am, so the Lady just left it from the evening (coffee in a termopot). Also you can ask for a dinner, which is really good, super tasty (Ive got a fish with rice and veggies for 900 escudo). And also you can ask for some wine (industrial or craft homemade, about 200 per glass).
The place has not many reviews but it's seems super new, means you will have also super new bathroom which is nice bonus for staying.
As for the transfer: you can book the place in Alluger with the room booking. The way from Sao Filipi is 50-60 mins and costs 1000 escudo.
As for the trekking:
1. The location is the best, right next to the start of few trekking routes
2. You can ask the owner for a guide, just ask for someone local who is actually based here in Caldeiras and not in Sao Filipe. As for the Pico Grande you will definitely need a guide because it's super tricky route. For the Pico Grande the usual price is 6000 per person but it's could be a discount if you are in group
3. Also you can walk by yourself (without guide) for couple places: e.g Pico Pequeno (it's now that far) and also you can walk to the Forest Monte Velha (about 5 kms till the entrance to the Forest) or even to Mosteiros (about 16 kms in total, 10 kms at the normal road and 6 kms are a bit difficult, inside the forest - not the easiest trail but it's possible) The only thing is that Geo location on booking isn't correct, this place is exactly on a center of Portela, just tell the Alluger driver you need Tchan Love so he will bring you to the correct place
- Elena (9/5): Lovely new place in the centre of the village. Lovely family too!! Highly recommended! -
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the owners they were so sweet and friendly. And their child was sooo cuute. They organized me a very good guide to hike to the volcano. His name was Du Santos and he was really really a nice guy. During the trip he learned us a little bite Kreol and told us something about Fogo.
I liked the accomodation very much, it was clean and confortable. The owner cooked also excellent. So thank you! Obrigada❤️
- Antonio (10/5): One of the favorite place we had booked on our entire life - Size the first minute when we had met Socorro at the airport, he gave us a lovely welcoming( He Went to pick up us at the airport( He’s a collective and private car driver) Lovely guy. Hey, show us all hotspots points for nice photos Before her accommodation, so he’s the owner. I lovely Family, beautiful kids and kind wife. She taught us how to cook cachupa - the most popular traditional
caboverdean food, it’s was so delicious( we suggest you to try it) their accommodation it’s a kinda of - be with family to learn and share, we do liked all meal.it’s peaceful place, in the center, view to the vulcano, forest and lot of small vulcano and surrounded by lof of restaurants. Also we had tasted their own traditional wine named Manecon( dry and sweet) sweet was like dry for us 😂, so dry was to strong, bu Socorro has some others wine from the wine company. They have an open explanada where you can: have a drink, have meal, take nap, tan, read, or play with kids. Our room was clean and fresh , everything 100% very good.
At the night time we went to casa Ramiro for live music - it was so so cool . Djony was one of our favorite player, he do plays more than 4 musical instruments.
We would like to return at their place as soon possible.
Don’t worry about how to get out the airport to the Chã Das Caldeiras- He has a car and can go for pick up and drop off.
We do recommend. Everything was fantastic.
