“Many thanks!!”

Everything! Thanks very much for your hospitality to all the family.

“A unique place and friendly people”

Great location in the center of Portela village in Cha des Calderas. This is an extraordinary place! Rosie's friendly and helpful host arranged for me to take a guide to the crater of the Fogo volcano. After climbing, Rosie gave me a delicious lunch. The stunning sunset and sunrise in this amazing place will forever remain in my memory! There are many hiking trails inside the caldera itself, it was safe to stay for another day.

“Fantastic”

As soon as we reached the Caldeira with the 'aluger collectiv' from Sao Filipe we already realised that the 2 nights we booked with Rose Silva was way too short... The environment was really breathtaking! Our very friendly and English speaking host Rosy was waiting for us when we arrived at the guesthouse in Portela. He showed us not only the room we booked, but also explained about the Chã das Caldeiras and things we could do during our stay. The accompanying restaurant is nearby. Highlight was of course the ascent of the vulcano on the 2nd day. Rosy was our guide and during the ascent he gave us much information the history of the vulcanos. He climbed the Pico de Fogo over 3000 times so you can say he is highly experienced! It took us 3 hours to reach the top and the descent (the longer route) took 2,5 hours. This was a magnificent experience! Unfortunately we were not able to stay longer to visit other places in the caldeira, because we had a tight schedule.

“I’ll come back and recommend.”

Comfy room with a private big bathroom for one night. They woke up early just to make us 5:30am breakfast, which cost only €3 each. We checked in earlier because of the ferry delay and left later because there was no transport to come back to the capital. We experienced understanding and welcoming each moment of our stay.

Great stay and very nice hosts

“Perfect!”

What a lovely family! Booked it last minute and didn't expect much. But got an excellent place to stay! It is clean and cosy place for very good price. Good location as well. I even had the view to volcano through my window.
