The room was nice and cosy, breakfast was good.

“Perfect first couple of nights on São Tomé.”

Everything was as we expected. A very nice stay if you have your own transport. Bed was comfortable and a good hot shower which is rather a luxury in São Tomé. The breakfast was excellent and we also had dinner there upon arrival which we very much enjoyed as well. Just 20 minutes from the airport. Joanna is very welcoming and the staff were all very kind as well. We highly recommend.

“Exceptional ospitality and real feel of Sao Tome”

Joana and Ricardo, the hosts, went above and beyond to make ourselves feel at home and help us with logistics, including coming to pick us up when we got lost and made dinner arrangements for us. The breakfast was also exceptional with a selection of freshly prepared options.

Beautiful setting, nice atmosphere, excellent breakfast

“Best stay on the island”

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, very spacious and good rooms, very good food, lots of things to do, cute dogs and donkeys, kind staff and many more things…

“Wonderful stay at Roca Vale dos Prazeres”

We had a wonderful stay at Roca Vale dos Prazeres. The Roca was beautifully clean and presented and the facilities excellent. Ricardo was very helpful in arranging a hire car for us and providing transfers. The food was also excellent and varied. The location was a great base as it was easy to drive into Sao Tome city and well placed for exploring the north coast and inland (Monte Cafe etc).

We were welcomed as we were VIP guests by very nice people. They managed to mix the of an historical house with the confort of modern life. WE had nice dinners made with local products in a fine china. The place is both relaxing because it is quiet and peacful and entertaining with all the games and activities at your disposal. The owners even helped us to organise a last minute trip with a guide. It was great.

Joana and Ricardo are amazing hosts, we felt like home! The Roça is beautiful and cozy, we had a lovely stay 😊

“Incredible hosts and beautiful property”

Amazing hosts who would go above and beyond in helping. Breakfasts and dinners we had there were superb. The property is beautiful and well taken care of.

“Beautiful stay at the Roca with amazing hosts!”

Amazing place that is conveniently located close to the airport and the capital. The hosts are super helpful and will make sure that your stay in the island is the best. I really enjoyed the dinners there in the terrace with a playroom that is nearby and the dogs and donkeys running around. Thank you for a great stay and I highly recommended it for a unique experience on the island.

Hosts Joanna and Ricardo have a great passion for Sao Tome which shines through. Lovely people, very accommodating & helpful. Food was excellent, local style dishes.

Joana and Ricardo are fantastic hosts, we fell extremely welcome and the place is a small oasis with a lot of love for detail.

“The best stay on Sao Tome island. Our hosts Joana and Ricardo have become friends after our 4 night stay at the Roca. Th”

Friendliest hosts, extremely comfortable, great food, beautiful setting. Our best stay on the island by far!

“Superb hospitality and beautiful place”

The owners were the most helpful people we could hope to encounter when we were faced by a sudden change of flights and had to reschedule a lot of our stay. They picked us up at the airport, took us to their beautiful house and back to the city, and even helped us to hire a good car for the second part of the trip. The Roça itself has carefully renovated bungalows and well maintained grounds. The bed was comfy and the breakfast tasty. It's calm and quiet, which you can say for most of the island.

“Perfect stay!”

Everything was more than perfect! The lovely bungalow we stayed in, the breakfasts and the dinners, the place itself… but over all the priceless time spent with the owners, Ricardo & Joana, who made us feel home from minute one. Lots of laughs and good conversations in the evening around the table with them and the other guests made our stay absolutely perfect! Thank you for all the good memories and warm wishes from Rosa & Guillem.

Joana and Ricardo are quite simply the most amazing hosts! They can arrange anything and are so friendly and helpful. They continued to help us out weeks after our stay with them! 5 star service and beyond. The place itself is beautiful, well located and well equipped with all sorts of games.

Very welcoming hosts, delicious breakfast, lovely place to stay

Family like hosting, beautiful place

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Roça Vale dos Prazeres! From the moment I arrived, the hosts went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were incredibly friendly and accommodating, arranging my airport transfer, providing a local SIM card, and even organizing a car rental, which made my trip so much smoother. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful surroundings that offer a true sense of peace and relaxation. The food was absolutely delicious! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I had a great time in São Tomé thanks to Joana and Ricardo.

“Fantastic.”

Marvellous.
