Excellent stay with a great host

I loved this place, but it was the host lady that really made the difference. She helped us basically every day with arranging taxis and transport all over the island, including coletivos back to the port right from the gate. She adds massive value to the stay.

Lovely country house, just out of the town of Ribeira Grande

Lovely apartment with a really nice garden full of banana, avocado, bread fruit, mango trees and sugar cane.

Amasing stay in Ribeira Grande

The house is very nice, in between mountains and surrounded by sugar canes and banana trees. Perfect spot to disconnect and enjoy nature. It is ideally placed to start hikes or get a aluquer and Francisco is very helpful and kind.

Should we come back to Santo Antao one day we would like to rent this again.

You rent one of 2 apartments in the house. The apartments are well equipped and pleasant. The super quiet and pleasant location at the end of the small street in the midst of a sugar cane plantation is unique. Gracinda who cares for the apartments is so kind and helpful. As for the 2 (not big) dogs: They are lovely. During the 2 weeks we were there they never barked annoying in the night. The water: There is pressure on 4 given afternoons per week, that's not a speciality of the house but is normal there. During the other times you have water from a tank at the house (no pressure, but well, water)

The location was excellent within a short 5 min walk to the bustling town. Our fully self-contained apartment was well furnished, fully equipped & immaculately clean.. Gracinda was on hand to assist with any issues or problems and couldn't do enough to ensure that our stay was the best it could be - outstanding and we would return. We fell in love with the area, the island and it's people - thank you.

Almost perfect location for a longer stay

Great apartment on the verge of town. It is literally the last house on the street and behind it are only fields and steep mountains. There is no city noise. Nevertheless, the town is small, so the main road, where you can catch a taxi or a minibus or go shopping is only about 5-minute walk. It is located in Ribeira Grande and in my opinion that is the best location for a longer stay, because it is close to the biggest number of the most beautiful hiking routes and three most beautiful valleys (Grande, da Torre, da Paul). The apartment is quite big, you have also access to a garden with a table, so you can also eat outside under the tree. The apartment is fully equipped with exception of a dishwasher. There is fast and stable WiFi connection. Three friendly dogs that love being petted. Below I mention some small flaws, but I want to make it clear that this is great house, we loved staying there and if we ever go back to Santo Antao we'll definitely stay there again.

We felt at home :)

Great place to stay - well equipped house surrounded by a beautiful garden with flowers, bananas and sugar cane. Very friendly and helpful staff, online support from the owners any time. And cute dog as a bonus :) It's not a five stars hotel - so don't expect that - but for sure it's super clean, safe, comfortable and pleasant accommodation. Located two minutes walking from a town with small shops and restaurants. Sao Antao island is beautiful!

The house is beautiful, the staff and dogs are very friendly. The kitchen is well equipped and everything was clean and tidy. It's in a stunning valley with green fields and steep cliffs right outside the window. You can easily walk to town. We enjoyed our stay there very much.

A really unique place to stay on Santo Antao! Our young children loved playing with the gentle dogs, running among the many banana trees and chatting with gardener Ary while feeding the goats. The friendly owners were incredibly welcoming and offered us fresh bananas, papaya and avocado from the garden and even some delicious homemade desserts. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The location is nice and secluded, but still at a comfortable walking distance from the town where you can find some small shops and restaurants. Thank you for a lovely stay!
