Agradável estadia
Pros:

Comida bastante agradável e simpatia no atendimento.
Boa localização para fazer alguns trilhos.

Cons:

Para um local onde deveria reinar o silêncio noturno para se poder apreciar a natureza,o barulho das colaboradoras impediu tal. Eram 23:30h e ainda se ouvia conversa alta entre elas.

Verbleven er twee dagen aan de voet van de Pico d’Antonia.
Pros:

Mooi gelegen in centrum van Rui Vaz. Goede uitvalsbasis voor de Pico d’Antonia. Goede ontvangst. Behulpzaam, vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Omvangrijk ressort, beetje op zijn retour/verval. Matig bezet.

Lage und Ausblick perfekt, Essen so lala.
Pros:

Die Lage in der frischen Bergluft und die Aussicht sind phantastisch. Die Zimmer sind etwas klein, aber sauber. Der Service ist sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Abend- Buffet kann man vergessen (wenig Auswahl und schlechter Geschmack) und morgens war es sehr verwüstet, aber man hat halt am Berg oben nichts anderes.

Mooie ligging niet voor herhaling vatbaar
Pros:

De ligging is geweldig. Prachtig uitzicht op de bergen. En wandelingen vanaf de locatie. Dan heb je ook meteen alle pluspunten van dit hotel samengevat.
Ook het personeel is super aardig en attent als je iets wilt vragen. Bed oké.

Cons:

Het is allemaal achterstallig. Schimmel in de douche, douchen in dat schimmel bad. Plafond beschimmeld.
Het is zo jammer dat er geen onderhoud aan dit hotel wordt gepleegd. Het is het enige hotel in de buurt daar. Dus de gasten komen wel. Van de grote touroperators die reizen naar Santiago verzorgen.

Un relax da mille e una notte!
Pros:

La posizione pazzesca sulla vallata è davvero incredibile. C’è un grande silenzio ristoratore per chi arriva da Praia. L’accoglienza del proprietario e del suo staff è ottima. I letti sono estremamente comodi. È possibile cenare a buffet nel loro ristorante, ben servito e tutto ottimo.

Stay here to discover the green heart of otherwise dry ilha de Santiago
Pros:

Fantastic location amongst greens of Sao Vincente interior
Excellent access to hiking trails right from the doorstep
Room ready before official check in time - thank you!
Extremely picturesque access to the quinta which is actually a great walk on a cobbled road from Sao Domingos

Cons:

Cleanliness in eating areas could be improved; lack of that leaves a lot to eat for flies
While rooms were exceptionally clean, minor fixing is apparently needed here and there. For ex, room 17 did not have any bulb in the terrace lamp
Exceptionally long wait for lunch on arrival day which contrasted abundance of staff at the time
We did not have any warm water in the shower (but had in the sink).
