Nice historical building... Restaurant pricey compared with other local establishments. The room I booked on Expedia was already given away when I arrived. Had to split into two rooms which was ideal with kids but worked out. Pool area was nice and very clean. Kids enjoyed.

That resort facility is the crown jewel of Fogo’s tourism. Their breakfast is exceptional and their staff are always ready and very professional. I’m looking forward to stay there again soon. It’s a highly recommended Hotel for people visiting the island. Thanks for the great service provided to me.

The hotel is old colonial style and lovely. Bathroom is separated from the room. Patio and garden is nice and charming. The only issue here is wifi does not work in the room only outside. The other problem is hotel advertise half board room price but when you check in they inform you that your maximum spend limit escudo 1,200 up to 1,500 which equals to roughly EUR12-15. If you go over the limit you have to pay. That does not make half board. Half board is when lunch or dinner is included without limit. The hotel has to fix this issue as it is misleading and false advertising. Other than that it was nice staying here

The hotel is very well located, in the heart of the city, not too far from the beach. Wonderful island where we can walk to the volcano. People at the restaurant are vey nice and helpful. High quality.

The owner was fantastic - very hands on to ensure everything was satisfactory. When my taxi did not arrive, he even gave me a ride to the airport to ensure I caught my flight.

Although the atmosphere of the guesthouse and additional service (bar, travel agency) appears quite charming at the first glance, there is problem with the rooms: getting one of the rooms w/ air condition, the air con was very loud and we were overtaken by cockroaches in our room as well as the bathroom (the bathroom was not attached to the bedroom so we had to cross the floor open to every guest). During the day we did not spot the cockroaches, but during the nght there were several. The accomodation is defenitely not worth the price. We found a different hotel w/ air con, clean and without any bugs, the size of the room was much larger and we paid less.

Staying in a colonial house in Sao Filipe that has been restored so beautifully provided us with a wonderful base from which to explore Fogo. We stayed one night in Cha and one night Sao Filipe, and are very happy that we were able to do both. Colonial Guest House offers some rooms with attached bathrooms and some without. All of those without have the bathroom located along the same corridor on the back of the hotel, which is un/locked with your personal key, so you do not have to share with others. The room is decorated with photos taken on the island and other more "historic" items, and is spacious and comfortable, for the most part. The swimming pool is a great place to unwind after a day exploring the island, as is the bar/restaurant downstairs.

Good service but a bit on the pricy side. But then it's probably the location you pay for.

The hotel was not too shabby in my opinion. Some of the rooms did not have A/C, but I asked for one and the employee accommodated my demand. What really impressed me is that I was leaving early the next morning and the young lady working at the restaurant prepared my breakfast for me so that I would have it first thing in the morning. Thank you very much Iz**.

After 10 days on the Cape Verde Island and 2 other hotels, we were glad to have spent most of the time at the Colonial Guest House at the heart of Sao Felipe city on Fogo Island. Not speaking Portuguese may limit your ability to reach out or even find the most exotic spots on the Island. The Guest house is a perfect base for your adventures, as the European owner also holds a small tour/travel agency, and guided tours at a higher level brings you effectively to the right places for relaxing, hiking, photographing etc. Staff is very helpful in all languages : English, French, Portuguese, German and even Danish. Restaurant is very cosy, shielded and relaxing. Investing in property/land seems lucrative for the first movers. No TV in the room, but didn't miss it anyhow.

Helga was great at explaining everything, giving us tips about the town and organising excursions/ hikes, matching us with a couple who she thought we would get on with and we did! It also helped reduce the cost. The building is beautiful, retaining so much character, while providing en suite bathrooms (though I understand that is not the case for every room) and a small pool on the 1st floor. Altogether a great way to visit Fogo.

Three days to see the volcanic lava flow. An overnight trip would have been sufficient.
