Marco, the host, is super kind and attentive, and makes sure you have well beyond all the info you need to enjoy your stay, with detailed instructions of the island's offers, including a link to a hiking app with many trails already marked, and he's very familiar with everything on the island, seemingly through personal experience. He also makes sure you are picked up from the port for the normal fare (if you like), and waits for your arrival to greet you at the doorstep. Rooms are very spacious and clean. In addition, they are cleaned every morning. Mattress is very comfortable. Views are fantastic (either to Fogo, or to the nearby valley) as the hotel is on a little hill, yet less than 10 minutes walk from the main plaza. The room was equipped with a mini fridge, where you can store some drinks for the end of a nice exploration day. An extra screen door protects the room from flies. Breakfast includes various options. When you leave, the host takes care of transportation if you like (again, for the normal fare, no extra charges), and he waits with you until your transportation arrives. An exemplary host, who is truly interested in his guests having the best visit, not only at the hotel, but throughout their entire stay on the island.

Loved the welcome, the information provided to us concerning walking to Faja d'Agua and that we could eat lunch there. Also appreciated the tour arranged for us by Madalena and conducted by David.. Madalena and all her staff are excellent. We felt like VIPs!
