We loved the atmosphere at Hotel Savana - calm, relaxing and welcoming. Perfect location in the centre of Sao Filipe, and the staff were super helpful organising taxi drivers for tours of the island and guides for hiking up the volcano. They were also super patient and flexible amending our booking after our arrival in Fogo was delayed by 3 days due to a cancelled flight! 😅

“Good hotel - but BAD PEOPLE outside the hotel - TAKE CARE !!!”
Excellent location for eating and shopping in the beautiful town center. But TAKE CARE about the so-called Tourist Guides outside of the hotel trying to sell guided tours. I pre-payed ONE HUNDRED EURO for an agreed price of two-hundred euro covering a full guided round-trip on Fogo island including volcano visit. When walking up an volcano the guide told me being only participant that the walk was a change in schedule and the full price would be ONE THOUSAND EURO - and that he had access to a credit card machine. I decided to leave the minibus and walk all the way back to Sao Philipe. Next day the host of Hotel Savana told me that he is an authorized tourist guide and the he did NOT do anything illegal - believe it or not...

This is one of the best places to stay in the historic city: in a few minutes you go down to the shops, the church, the market and the 2 museums. I think we had the best room in this old colonial house: nr. 2 on the ground floor. A huge, high room with seaview and a terrace in front, quietly situated (except sometimes footsteps above). There are a few steps: only 14 to the frontdoor, afterwards 15 to the little swimmingpool, and a few to the breakfastroom. The beds are quite good and the breakfast is generous. Everything is very clean and the people at the reception are always kind and helpful. For your eveningmeal there are a few good restaurants closeby (e.g. Tropical and Colonial). For trips to the vulcano or around the island, there are 2 agencies, or you can hire a taxi. We paid for a taxi with an English speaking driver (Edmar Alves) for these 2 half-day trips CVE 9.000.- each, for 2 persons. We can highly recommend this hotel!

“Highly recommend”
Large and beautiful room with a view downwards on Sao Felipe and Brava further in the ocean. Chill place around the (small) swimming pool, perfect to take a rest in-between activities.

“Lovely colonial style building where we felt very welcome”
Lovely small hotel with a welcoming, colonial feel. Room was spacious with great views across the ocean towards Brava. The hotel has lots of places to sit and relax, both in sun and in shade. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Wifi was better in public areas than in the room itself. Excellent restaurant right next door to the hotel.
