    The b&b is located in the most beautiful part of the island, right next to all the best hikes. But the best, best part was breakfast and dinner. The food is delicious.

    Don't rent a car to get there- take a taxi. The road is narrow and quite scary.

    It is a magical and enchanted property in the valley.

    We enjoyed our stay very much. At Casa Cavoquinho we were hosted by Belén and her staff. One of her principles says that everyone who is there is Family. We left, feeling like departing from our new family. Excellent place to stay as if you are in paradise. We were in the top room, with a breathtaking view! Belén and Jose made Casa Cavoquinho a sustainable place surrounded by nature. Where do I stop? Thank you!

    We cannot speak highly enough of the beautiful Casa Cavoquinho. Stunning location, amazing views, lovely rooms. But the best part was the staff - so welcoming and helpful. And the best cooks! Breakfasts and dinners were the best food we had in Cape Verde. Thank you!

    The best part of the trip to cabo verde was the days we spent in Casa Cavoquinho. Everything is taken care of in detail to make the stay perfect. In addition to the location very convenient to start hiking, the views of the valley from the hotel, the decoration/cleaness/comfort of the room, the kindness of the employees, the quality of the breakfast and dinner. I can say is one of the best stays I have ever had. 100% recommended if you are planning a trip to Santo Antão.

    Nothing was missing! Wish I could stay longer:-)

    I'm at a loss for words to convey how delightful this stay was! The room and bed were exceptionally comfortable, offering an incredible mountain view. The staff was exceedingly welcoming, friendly, and warm, and the food, while generously portioned, was truly exceptional. As a starting point for hikes, this location is perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

    Just as a Tip: cared, Charles the dog really loves to join your hike. If you don't want him to follow you, just ask the staff.

    The location and the view in the paul valley is beautiful, the stuff was really nice and helpful (even with little English knowledge they really tried to help us because we just could speak English :D), the hiking tipps are great and we will really miss their cute little dogs

    This place is a perfect base for doing hikes in Paul Valley because the hotel is located on the trails, so you don’t need transportation, you can just start your hike after breakfast. José and Belén are super helpful, they have several good recommendations about hikes nearby. The staff is also amazing and they prepared super delicious breakfast and dinner. The peaceful, slow-life atmospheare of this place was really special. Wish we could have stayed longer. Abslutely recommended

    There is a walk of about 150 meters from the road to the accommodation of which you'll need to carry your bags or ask Jose to find someone to help you. Parking is not easy but possible if you drive. My only problem with the accommodation was the noise. The neighbours engaged in loud disputes and their dogs and roosters were right behind our uppermost room breaking the silence needed to have a good night's sleep. I would not have survived without earplugs.

    The view is stunning. Much better than most others including the Aldeo Panoramico. There are few rooms so crowds or noise is no problem. The hosts, especially Jose goes out of his way to make sure your stay at the accommodation is the best possible. Checking with us each morning to make sure we have a plan and offering advice on possible hikes that fit our fitness and time and then asking how it went at the end of the day was a daily occurrence. Breakfast was included but we took the dinner meal option. The food was excellent. It was delicious, representative of the area, varied and plentiful. Menu is displayed in the morning so you have the option of joining in. Everything is added to your bill, so be prepared. The Grogue, Punch and Fogo wine were our favorite drinks. A friendly cat and two small quiet dogs greet you each time you come down the stairs. Drinking water is from the mountain springs processed through a reverse osmosis filtration system for safety, and it's free. If hiking, fitness and photography are your passion you'll need at least 5-7 days on Santo Antão. It is a large island with trails everywhere. Having a car will open the island up for breathtaking drives over high mountain passes through climatic zones. The flora changes are remarkable. We have decided to return to Boa Vista and Santo Antão for a dedicated diving hiking holiday. Avoid CV winter when the European hoards and cruise ships descend on the islands; come in the off or shoulder seasons to have your choice of accommodation, better prices and wonderful weather.
