Featuring mountain views, VIP House-Praia Francesca features accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around less than 1 km from Lagarto Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace. This accommodation was for us the start of a dream vacation. The comfort and size of the accommodation alone would be reason for us to rate highly. In addition, the incredibly dear and impressive host. We very rarely get into raptures, but this host is a sensation: so warm, so interesting and interested: simply impressive and what a gift to experience. A few more words about the accommodation. The accommodation is large, very clean and has a sensational terrace. The bed is perfect and large, windows have mosquito protection, are tight and even have blinds (so you can make it nice and dark to sleep) The garden is a dream. You not only see (almost) all the fruits you dream of, but also get them served for breakfast. Indescribably beautiful as already mentioned the meeting with the landlord Mr. Simão. Many recommendations, lots of interesting information and conversations about the region. It was also ingenious to arrive so late and have a place to stay so close to the airport. We were picked up, although it is only a few hundred meters, with a jeep. After many hours of flight, a luxury to be received so and to land in such a nice accommodation. Our summary and with focus on a round trip: the perfect place to arrive or depart from São Tomé and Principe and spent time close to airport and a nice beach close to the town. If we were business travelers we would say: a perfect place to have a nice, calm and safe accommodation away from the center

Ocean View Guesthouse is set on the beachfront in São Tomé. This guest house has a garden and free private parking. The guest house features family rooms. This is the perfect place to chill and be completely connected with nature and the beach. The house is big and nice, with a "private beach" just few steps down from the house. We stayed in a big room with private bathroom. The way to get there is complicated due to the rocky road, but the owners take you from and to the airport with a specific car for that kind of roads; also, they already have a plan to renew the road that will start during the first months of 2024, so that will be no problem anymore :) There is a guard during the night and the owners are very flexible with the transport, they are all super nice. To make the experience even better, we found 5 puppies from one of the two dogs that apparently live in the surroundings of the house, which was just perfect. We will be back!

The climate, the forest and the scenic tropical views were unmatched. There are two main phenomenons regarding STome people: leve-leve and doce-doce. The first is very welcome when on holiday but can become a problem when you want to get things going. The second is more of a bittersweet feeling. It can be sweet when seeing it for the first time especially with children, but this turns to harrassment pretty quickly.
Language barrier is too problematic. English is something that even restaurants have difficulty to understand. Beaches are good. Can spend some lonely time at night without much trouble. Brush up on Portuguese language very well or one may end up not having a good meal! Loved to see the Boca De Inferno. The water gushing the rocks is awesome. Smooth roads give you the enjoyable drive towards the south of the island. The Great Dog Peak was worth a view! Loved to eat seafood at the Ilyang Ilyang Restaurant with a peaceful ambience and English understanding staff.
It´s a Paradise!!! You have to go and see all the sand beaches and eat all the fresh fishes. You have to experiment the santola in the restaurant with the same name. Go to Ilheu das Rolas! Very beautiful!
Sao Tome is a fantastic destination. A safe tropical Island almost untuched from the outside world. It is not for unseasoned travellers or the ones who want a lot of service and/or Diesney like conditions. It can be a bit costly and you have to bring cash in form of smaller Euro banknote denominations. Crime, political instability and diseases are much less than in surrounding countries, wich makes travelling here hazzelfree. The climate in the dry season (june-august) feels comfortable, especialy considering that it is tropical Africa. The islands abound with green lush tropical forrest with a lot of exotic fruits, fantastic beaches and some interesting sights. The food is good especially the fresh fish and shellfish, as well as the multitude of excotic fruits and vegetables. In Sao tomé Town I especially recomend the following restaurants/cafees : Papa figo, Camoes and Pastelaria Central, You get much more from your visit if you can speak portuguese. No Visa for 14 Days travel for EU citizens, no need for yellow fever vaccination certficate if travelling from Europe. There is four flights a week with TAP (portuguese) and one flight a week with STP (Sao tome air company)
They have a lot of historical sites and great beaches and islands with friendly people and lots of local cuisines. The city is in bad shape and bad roads and they need to develop the tourism sector particularly their tourist sites . The airport is bad for a tourism country like that and the hotels needs to up their services to meet a value for money and they need to learn English language which is an international language especially the staff of the various hotels and all tour guides. It’s a great place to visit at most for 5days.
An unknown jewel! We visited idyllic places, saw the most amazing sunsets over tropical beaches & saw very few tourists. Most of the locals were very friendly and helpful. It is a photographic paradise.
