“Lovely place and kind owner”
The experience was unforgettable. It’s a great place to stay and truly a one-of-a-kind adventure. The host, Jose, is an incredibly kind and welcoming person. It’s absolutely worth staying here, being so close to the volcano makes the experience amazing

“Great place to say if you’re climbing the volcano. Eat elsewhere”
Great location overlooking the volcano. Considering where you are (on the side of a volcano), the room was comfortable, clean and has everything you need. In December it gets cold, we were provided an additional duvet. Joseph is an excellent guide and I would definitely recommend him if you wish to climb the volcano. Joseph is also voluntarily training up local kids to help out in the tourist industry!

“José Doce is the best!”
The perfect place and guest to discover Chã das Caldeiras! José Doce helps in everyway!! Our flight was antecipated and José climbed the vulcano with us during the night allowing us to experience the sunrise.
