The location is absolutely gorgeous. Rooms are really clean and spacious. The owner is the most helpful, giving advice of the area, helping planning routes and hikes and organizing transport in the best way for all the hostages. Breakfast is delicious and having dinner made with local products altogether sharing about the day and hikes was lovely. Highly recommended

the friendliness and kindness of the staff we were unable to reach the hotel due to mindelo carnival with no flight service and they were kind enough to reimburse the stay

Very friendly staff. The communal meal was lovely - great to meet fellow travellers, and the food was really tasty. The location is incredibly beautiful

The shower was cold, and the location is 15 minutes walk up a steep hill. Perfect if you like hiking in the area, but expensive and awkward if you want to visit places outside of the Paul valley.

Very beautiful nature surroundings up in the mountains

Water pressure was down, but no big issue.

The place is AMAZING, the view from our window was beautiful and Caitlin was super helpfull! The valley of Paul is amazing and Casa das Ilhas is a perfect place to enjoy it!

Nice place, just beware - you have to walk up a steep slope for 15 minutes in order to reach the accommodation. The host was very nice, although her english was not very good and we have to change to french in order to get the information we needed. They have a selectionf of maps and routes - some are more precise than others - but you get the idea to where you can go for a hike. Its located in the Paul valley, so its a good starting place if you want to walk up tha valley or take a car up the hill and walk down (but the taxi is 45euro, bus its significantly cheaper, but no direct connection, so you have to change lines 2 times). The rooms were small but nice and clean with a good view. The pool was out of order. The food they offer (breakfast, lunch as a picnic and dinner for 1100escudos) was good and amde from local ingredients, but very basic and not a big portion. The closest shop is not very close, so if you want to eat there it's better to buy something before - you can buy water, beer, juice and some sodas there, but if you want some snack you can have only chips and peanuts. Overall a very nice and peaceful place with a beautiful view, but if you want to do a lot of hikes I would reccommend to opt for something closer to the main route, like Ribeira Grande.

The food could come in a bigger portions, the english of the personal was not very good. The beds were extremely soft.

Beautiful View Very Nice Staff You can go there without any Plan and there you get all Informations and Contacts you need. Good for traveling with children. (crib and Highchair

You have to go up 15 min up the Hill to get there It's not direct on the street. Don't worry they get your stuff up. I think their are People they don't like to go up But for all Hiker it's a nice way up and the best location you can find.

We had a great time staying here, it was really a unique experience, an amazing location. This is a great starting place for hiking. All around highly recommended.
