Guest Reviews

• Sayenne (10/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): Espectacular 🤍🙏🏽 - Adorei o facto de ser tudo feito pelo o senhor ( dono 😂🥹) e é ecoglofico Nando
• Rougier (10/5): - Tout était parfait ! Léa et Joâo sont très chaleureux, nous font sentir comme chez nous et permettent une parenthèse hors du temps dans ce lieu d’exception ! Nous recommandons également vivement la montée du Pico avec Joâo qui est un guide parfait Encore merci !
• Carlos (9/5): The place to stay in Portela - Best place in Portela We missed shampoo at the hotel
• Ana (10/5): Perfeito para uma estadia curta - Tudo impecável, super limpo e confortável, perfeito para uma estadia curta na Chã. Faltam sombras, para que possamos sentar-nos cá fora confortavelmente durante o dia, quando faz muito calor. O facto de não haver sombras obrigou-nos a tomar o pequeno-almoço dentro do quarto, perdendo a oportunidade de o fazer ao ar livre num sítio maravilhoso.
• Rodolphe (10/5): Parfait ! - Très bon accueil par la propriétaire du lieu. Endroit propre, calme, très jolie au cœur du village. Très bien décoré! On a même eu une petite attention car c’était notre voyage de noce! Je recommande à 4000 %. Peut être mettre à disposition des clients un réchaud pour permette de cuire des pâtes ou autre. Pas possible de se faire à manger seul si on a pas cela.
• Mattis (10/5): - Sehr liebevoll gestaltete Anlage in toller Lage! Die Funcos sind gut eingerichtet, sehr sauber und bieten genügend Platz. Die Hosts sind sehr freundlich, jederzeit erreichbar und helfen bei allen Fragen. Sie haben uns am Vortag problemlos einen Guide für die Pico-Tour organisiert und alles hat wunderbar geklappt. Das Frühstück wird dafür extra früher gemacht. Große Empfehlung!!
• Ágata (10/5): Alojamento ideal para desfrutar de um sítio único no mundo - Gostámos de tudo. Léa e João excelentes anfitriões. Alojamento com todo o conforto baseado nas casas tradicionais da região (funcos). Tudo limpo, bom gosto na decoração . Pequenos-almoço óptimos e variados. Alojamento ideal para desfrutar de um sítio único no mundo . Nada a referir
• Diana (9/5): - A localização, a vista para o vulcão e a tranquilidade.
• bidault (10/5): -
• Carole (10/5): Nous avons adoré séjourner chez Lea et Joâo. L’endroit est vraiment agréable et tout est fait pour que l’on s’y sente bi - L’emplacement, l’originalité des logements, la prévenance des hôtes. Le côté eco-responsable.
• Aimé (10/5): - - Le lieu, l'hôtel, est au cœur de la caldeira. Les petites funcos (habitats traditionnels) sont magnifiques. - Chambre ronde, propre et spacieuse avec literie de qualité, coin repas, grand fauteuil et étagère. - Décoration simple, soignée et réconfortante. - Salle de bain fonctionnelle avec eau chaude la journée grâce à des panneaux solaires. - L'aspect écologique avec récupération de l'eau qui est évidemment rare sur Fogo. - La gentillesse de Joao, sa disponibilité, sa réactivité. Il a été notre guide pour l'ascension du volcan et a organisé nos transferts depuis l'aéroport. Un grand merci ! - Les petits-déjeuners servis en panier directement dans les chambres et adaptés pour les départs tôt (pour l'aéroport et la randonnée du volcan). - Rapport qualité-prix excellent. Séjour calme dans un endroit magnifique. Tout était parfait.
• Aurélien (10/5): - Mille merci à Joâo et Léa pour nous avoir accueilli dans leur funco. On s’est tout de suite senti chez nous. Bienveillance , gentillesse et conseils étaient au rdv. Ils étaient disponible à n’importe quel moment si nous le souhaitions. Le funco était apaisant et confortable, au beau milieu de la caldeira et avec une vue splendide sur le Pico de Fogo. Nous avons pu monter jusqu’au sommet grâce à Joâo qui a été notre guide pendant 6h d’excursion en nous parlant de la caldeira , l’agriculture, les habitudes des gens vivant dans la caldeira . La veille, un fort vent nous a empêché d’escalader le géant , nous avons dû faire demi tour sous les conseils de Joâo (heureusement d’ailleurs car la poussière volait et les cailloux volaient, très rare pour le souligner ), nous avons pu y retourner le lendemain. Les petits déjeuner étaient préparés pour nous, copieux et délicieux (déposés la veille dans le funco si montée du volcan le lendemain) Les transferts aéroport , port se sont très bien passés également, nous avons pu organisé en amont notre venue aux horaires souhaités. Merci pour cette expérience complète Vous pouvez réserver les yeux fermés

• xavier (10/5): - L'emplacement est top, avec jolie chambre Rien
• ALEXEY (10/5): Muy recomendable - Es muy agradable, cómodo y muy bien cuidado. Los desayunos te lo traen al funco a la hora que tú pidas el día anterior. Todo está hecho con amor y atención al detalle. Se encuentra en medio del pueblo, por lo que todo está al lado (un par de tiendas, varios sitios de comida casera, etc.) Pero te alejas 10 minutos andando y estás en pleno campo de lava, que parece otro planeta.
• Etienne (9/5): - Superbe chambre dans un funco. Petit déjeuner varié et frais. Hôte accueillant!
• Isaac (9/5): - Amazing location in such a unique place. Lea and Joao (and Isabel!) were lovely. Nothing!

• Christine (9/5): - Sehr schöne Rundbauten mit geschmackvoller praktischer Einrichtung Morgens gibts aufgrund der solaren Warmwasseraufbereitung keine warme Dusche - für diese Region natürlich ein Luxusproblem

Des Petits déjeuners copieux , Des Transferts ponctuels rien n’a posé de problème. Un grand merci à Léa et à notre chauffeur Zedy Un détail sur l’eau chaude que l’on a pas eu, Mais le brouillard a perturbé le chauffage.

• Martijn (10/5): - Alles was tot in de puntjes geregeld! Helemaal te gek deze locatie en dit verblijf. Bedankt Lea en Joao!
• Christian Adrián (10/5): - Not only the rooms were amazing but the hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind with us. I even liked being without electricity or warm water as it added emotion to the experience of being concious of the privileges that we think have for granted. I loved every bit of it.
• Lucas (10/5): - Muito confortável, ótima localização e anfitriões sempre disponíveis a ajudar. Recomendo pra todos que queiram subir ao Pico do Fogo!
• Charles (9/5): Super Funco - Mooi opgezet met uitzicht op de pico Eigenlijk niets te klagen alleen een tip! Maak een barretje met kleine versnapering
• Zaïneb (10/5): Inoubliable - Tout. Tres bonne communication avec Léa dès la reservation. L'originalité du logement au cœur de la Cha das Caldeiras. Tout prêt du volcan. Ecofunco nous a mis en contact avec le guide qui nous a permis de faire l'ascension. Petit-déjeuner servi dans la chambre très complet. Chambre propre au calme, douche qui fonctionnait bien. Une très belle expérience et de beaux souvenirs!
• Litaudon (9/5): expérience unique -
• Lisa (9/5): -
• Süleyman (6/5): Great location, nice people and wonderful views! - Beautiful location and nice rooms, spacious and good services around. In general quite a nice stay and easy enough to get around. There was no hot water during the stay and breakfast was fine in the room although not entirely perfect.
• gregory (9/5): - La situation de l’établissement est parfait pour un dépaysement total. Le confort est très bon au vu des limitations de l’endroit (l’eau et l’électricité étant rare dans la caldeira) Merci à Léa pour son accueil et son organisation! Ras
• Ana (9/5): - No me quería ir. Desayuno para disfrutar
• Karren (8/5): - Fantastic location. Helpful staff. Room bigger than expected. Great experience.
• Delgado Henriques (8/5): -
• Henry (10/5): - Tout vraiment tout! L'emplacement est vraiment incroyable, avec un décor sublime au pied du volcan. Les hôtes sont adorables et aux petits soins. Absolument rien.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Nijdam (10/5): - Het was een prachtige en schone accommodatie aan de voet van de vulkaan, een hele bijzondere locatie. Ze waren super behulpzaam en aardig. Er werd gecheckt of je vervoer van en naar Sao Filipe had en anders werd dat voor je geregeld. Ook hadden ze een super goede gids geregeld om de vulkaan te beklimmen. Het ontbijt was heerlijk!!
• Lorenz (9/5): - Wunderbare kleine Steinhäuschen mit perfekter Ausstattung. Sehr freundliches Personal. In der direkten Umgebung wird gebaut und nimmt der ansonsten sehr schönen, kleinen Hotelanlage etwas den Charme.
• Leslie (10/5): - The hosts were super helpful, and friendly. João is also a mountain guide, & speaks Portuguese, English & French..The location is perfect, right in the village, at the start of the hiking trail to the pico. Rooms are clean and very comfortable with some artistic touches. Good breakfast. They don't provide soaps or shampoos in the bathroom (only liquid hand soap), so be sure to bring your own.
• André João (10/5): Alojamento fantástico num lugar mágico! Muito confortável e tranquilo! Equipa super simpática! - Alojamento fantástico num lugar mágico, chã das Caldeiras! Muito confortável e tranquilo! A Lea e o João são super simpáticos e prestáveis! Bom pequeno almoço preparado pela Isabel! Recomenda-se super ao vulcão, tendo como guia o João.
• IVAN (10/5): Super séjour dans un endroit magnifique - Super accueil dans un endroit magnifique ! Logement top ! Guide top ! Petit déjeuner top ! 🙂 Facilité pour taxi, guide de randonnée, etc.
• Malena (10/5): Room, location, host, experience - all high end. An absolute delight. - Room, location, host, experience - all high end. An absolute delight.
• anne-sophie (10/5): - La route pour y accéder est spectaculaire et le lieu incroyable et lunaire ! Les petites maisons typiques ont beaucoup de charme, spacieuses et très bien équipées, vraiment très propres!! Passer une nuit dans ce lieu est à faire absolument !! Le petit déjeuner est apporté directement dans la chambre le matin c'est très appréciable. Nous avons adoré notre séjour là bas
• Noive (10/5): Un alojamiento excelente - El sitio es espectacular, todo el personal es súper amable. El desayuno muy rico, si hacéis la excursión al pico os le dejan el día de antes en la habitación. La habitación es una construcción típica de cha das calderas, y el pueblo tiene un encanto increíble. Se pueden observar todo el cielo de estrellas si tenéis la suerte de pillar un día despejado. También valorar muy positivamente al guía con el que subimos al pico, tuve una gran paciencia y no dudaba en explicarnos todo sobre el volcán.
• Lucia (7/5): Passabile ma overpriced. Ottima posizione per scalare il vulcano. - La struttura, la posizione. Spese per taxi aeroportuali esagerate. Mancanza di fono per capelli. Colazione scarsa, no formaggi. Prodotti da forno scadenti. Marmellata vecchia.
• Daniela (10/5): Tolle Häuschen mit viel Charme und toller Aussicht auf den Fogo - Sehr tolle Häuschen. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und tolles Ambiente. Uns hat es enorm gefallen und wie würden sofort wieder buchen. Ein sehr authentisches Erlebnis🥰 Nichts
• Nassim (10/5): - Absolument incroyable ! C'est une expérience unique et très atypique
• arnaud (10/5): - Exceptionnel accueil de Léa & Joao. Disponibles, ils vous aideront à profiter de Fogo à 100% !
• Stephanie (10/5): 3 jours d'immersion au milieu du village au milieu des coulées de lave. - Emplacement au milieu du cratère du volcan de l'ïle, au pied du mont Fogo. Idéal pour réaliser toutes les randonnées autour et sur le volcan. Immersion totale dans la vie du village qui s'est reconstruit après la dernière explosion de 2014. Les logements ont été bâtis dans la tradition du village , ils sont très confortable et très jolis. Les propriétaires, un couple franco-Cabverdien, nous a fait un excellent accueil et partage volontiers la culture spécifique du village et nous a aidé à organiser nos différentes excursions.
• Valentina (10/5): - The landscape is nothing short of spectacular—hardened black lava, rugged volcanic terrain, and an ever‑present view of the majestic volcano create a surreal and immersive experience. The funco structure—a traditional Cape Verdean circular house—is thoughtfully built with sustainability in mind: pallet furniture, rainwater harvesting, reused water for plants and toilets, solar panels for electricity, and solar‑heated water. Every morning, a freshly prepared breakfast by Restaurant Isabel was delivered directly to my room—sweet and savory pastries, fruit, and juice—luxurious in its simplicity. My hosts, Léa and João, were absolutely wonderful. They welcomed me warmly from the moment I arrived, with genuine kindness and a sense of caring that made me feel instantly at ease. João is a guide, ask him for hikings! I also want to highlight the friendliness of every person I met in the area—they were open, warm, and made this journey feel safe and connected. At night, I would gaze up at the stars from my cozy funco—the sky, completely free of light pollution, felt like a universe unfolding just for me.
• Yvona Kahúnová (10/5): - Úžasní majitelia, ústretoví, dali nám všetky informácie, postarali sa o nás s úsmevom ❤️. Ďakujeme
• dalibor (10/5): - Everything was amazing.
• julie (10/5): Une expérience riche et magique dans un endroit insolite, loin de tous nos « standards » européens. L’ascension du Pico - Tout était parfait : accueil, conseil, emplacement, confort… Ras
• Maud (10/5): Magique ! - Nous avons adoré notre séjour à EcoFunco. Le cadre est exceptionnel et l’accueil très chaleureux. João et Léa sont aux petits soins pour vous faire découvrir la caldeiras. Petite bonus : la cuisine d’Isabelle On espère avoir la chance de revenir un jour.
• Iris (9/5): Superb - The view, the beds, to sit outside, the breakfast, everything! Really, I can't think of a thing. Everything was perfect!
• Giorgio (9/5): Superb -
• Francesco (10/5): FANTASTIC! - EcoFunco is absolutely amazing! Lea and Joao are wonderful hosts, present from even before setting foot on the island. They helped us with transportation from and to the airport, they found us a guide to hike the volcano (Joao also is a guide) and gave us tips on things to do and trails to walk while on the island. The breakfast is excellent, abundant and varied. And they arrange it for you no matter what time you want it. The room is spacious and clean. The bed is comfortable. The whole place is peaceful and quiet and the views are simply breathtaking. If we ever go back to Fogo, we will definitely stay with Lea and Joao again!! What I don't like is that I can only give 10 points to this place...it deserves at least a 12!!!
• Sebastian (10/5): Great hospitality, family run place with great location, would def stay again! - Excelent Location! Breakfast was in the room witha good variety of sweet and salty treats and it was all very tasty! There was no AC or fan so napping during the day was a bit hot, but not terrible. Cant complain!
• Paul (10/5): Unique experience, staying in the crater of a volcano - Beautiful rooms, amazing environment, friendliest people who run it. -
• Marta (10/5): Exceptional - Everything.The hotel is new and they're expanding.The staff very helpful and it's stays on the beggining of the Path to go walking to the little Vulcano (2h walking go and back), no need guide (trust on the advices the people who survived at least 2 Vulcano eruptions, they know what they're doing). If you want to climb to the big Vulcano ask João (the owner) how you should do.Thank you Ecofunco the Veras brothers thanks you for the hospitality.
• Mário (10/5): Experience of a lifetime - Everything. Joao is a great host and having the possibility of being in the Chã das Caldeiras is truly an opportunity of a lifetime. Nothing.
• Tatiana (9/5): Superb - Amazing location for the Fogo volcano experience. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly and helped us greatly to organize our stay and activities. Very cute private cabins. Water and energy conscious. Nothing, it was great and authentic.
• Marco (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andre (10/5): Perfect to tp explore the crater - Paradise in the middle of nowhere. Joao and Lea are brilliant and will do their best to make your stay perfect. Airport transfers, hiking guide to Mount Fogo, restaurant suggestion, anything you need. Cottages are brand new and super comfortable. Nothing
• Jamie (10/5): Perfect, spotless, friendly stay for exploring the crater... - A perfectly comfortable room, with great, relaxed, generous and friendly service, in a perfect location for exploring the volcanic top of Fogo. An extra special recommendation to Manuel, recommended as our guide to summit Pico, by Léa at Eco Fundo. He was knowledgeable, patient, good humored, professional, and very generously kind. We had a great stay here. Great hot shower too! One aspect to build on could be the breakfast. It would be great to include a little more variety... Some yoghurt, fresh bread, fruit... Not bad at all, but room to grow.
• Christopher (10/5): You won't regret it. - Beautiful Funco house. Spotlessly clean. Bed comfortable. Perfect location for hiking the volcano. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Card payment accepted (+2%). Breakfast delivered night before for hiking was basic but ideal for the hike. Reasonable requirements for power and water consumption, given the location. Nothing really
• Philip (10/5): EcoFunco. What else - When you enter the volcano area you enter a different world and start to understand what those people lived at the last burst out in 2014. The EcoFunco offers a great stay using the lava stone. Lovely staff, great service and we also booked through them the airport shuttle and the guide for the escalation of the Pico. Just perfect.
• Katrijn (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful, clean and cozy place at an amazing location. Leia was very warm and helpful, she arranged a guide for us to climb the volcano. Beautiful breakfast, delivered at the room. Would 100% recommend this place!
• Bernd (10/5): Exceptional - Léa was very nice and extremely helpful (especially with our 'lost' luggage) and gave us good advice. The place is very nice and has some really nice touches. Cha is certainly a mystical place.
• Roger (9/5): All good - Great round room. Good position for hike to the top (Rosy was friendly guide). Mini market and restaurants close by. Lea was welcoming and friendly. All good
• Abdellah (10/5): Simplement fantastiquement cool 😁 - Absolutely fantastic! Very nice stay in a “funco” house, typical from “Chá das Caldeiras”. The hosts Léa and Joao are really really nice, the breakfast prepared by Isabela is also amazing. A real place to stay if you intend to visit Portela in Chá das Caldeiras.
• Valentina (10/5): Exceptional - They make you feel like you're part of the family. The breakfast was amazing. The location was more than perfect, in nature, and very relaxing. Everything was perfect!
• Stefan (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place. Great communication before and during stay. Great breakfast even very early. We recommend dinner at Isabel.
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional - The best customer service! The host Lea was super helpful before we even got there. She answered all my questions very quickly and provided lots of information. They arranged the shuttle service for us as well as a guide to climb up the volcano. João himself is a guide and you can book him. Obviously the location is perfect and you have a beautiful view of the volcano right from the room. Make sure to eat at Isabella's next door, her food is delicious and she was such a warm and wonderful person. All in all it was a wonderful experience!
• Jocelyn (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable, very helpful English-speaking host
• Mathijs79 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jessica (10/5): Simply Perfect! - We loved literally everything about the accommodation! The funcos are incredibly beautiful and lovingly furnished. The view of the volcano is a dream! And the view was there every morning at breakfast. The sun rises behind the volcano, which makes it even more beautiful. And the starry sky at night takes your breath away. You don't see that every day! Lea & João were so kind and helpful, there is a lot of heart in this project. We would come back any time!
• Beatriz (10/5): Exceptional - I loved to be treated like family by this amazing couple João and Leia. The place is really clean and cozy and has a great sense of style. João is also a great guide to take you up to the Vulcano, and feeds you with a lot of information and culture. Totally recommended and worth it. There was an issue with a water pump that got screwed during the morning BUT João took care of it Immediately
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay at EcoFunco. The funco is very cozy and the bed was very comfortable. You barely hear any noise so we had a great night sleep after our hike. The breakfast served by Isabel was delicious and very filling. The funco was spotless clean. Léa & João were super friendly and gave us a lot of tips about the hikes we could do in the area. We definitely recommend this place and would love to return one day. Everything was perfect
• Carlos (10/5): Exceptional - The stay at Ecofunco was perfect! First the transfer offered by Ecofunco is really helpful. Then, the room is cozy and has all you need. Also, breakfast is really good and tasty :)
• Anita (10/5): We fully recommend EcoFunco for your stay in Fogo. - Lea and Joao are super nice and always there for you in case of questions. They organized everything for us that we wanted (transfer, tour to sleep on the volcano, etc.) ☺️
• Petra (9/5): Highly recommended! - I absolutely loved the experience - my little round house was cozy, well furnished and quiet. The hosts were super kind and helpful. Amazing place to stay in Chã das caldeiras and to watch starts from at night! The Wi-Fi was really weak + I could have used a hand soap in the bathroom, but neither of those were of any particular importance.
• Nadine (10/5): Exceptional - Lea and Joao were fantastic hosts and their traditional funcos are beautiful. It was a pleasure to stay with them, and learn about the area. We appreciated their advice on local dishes and drinks, and especially enjoyed our guided hike to the top of the volcano (prepare your thighs!) after a very restful night's sleep. A truly memorable experience It would have been great to enjoy the view with a drink at seating outside the funcos
