A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne. This guest house is non-smoking and soundproof.

I think this was one of the most luxurious places we stayed, for low budget. It had hot water, rooms with equiped kitchen, comfy beds, TV (well sao tome only has 2 channels I believe), fan, good breakfast.... The owners are very hard workers and welcoming. We would have liked to stay more time here.

    Our hosts Célia and her cats and dogs made sure to make our stay very pleasant. The very large garden and the bungalows are decorated with care, and make it comfortable to spend some peaceful and quiet time in there. Célia cooked us a very tasty local dish dinner. People in the community around are very friendly.
