Great base for exploring Sao Vincente

Fab hotel which blends a beach cabin vibe with Scandi style. The team, particularly Stephen, were very helpful. Right next to a great beach - beautiful but the waves are too strong for yourlng children.

Hotel ist gleich beim Strand, sehr schön. Aber die Zimmer bestehen aus Holzcontainer dadurch ist es sehr hellhörig da auch gleich die Schule und die Ecke ist. Sehr Eco wie der Name sagt. Schlichte Zimmer die aber täglich sauber gemacht werden. Mehrere Restaurants in Laufweite. Morgens immer das gleiche Frühstück leider keine Abwechslung. Für lange Aufenthalte nicht zu empfehlen. 2,3 Nächte i.O.

Overpriced

I booked the "suite" after reading other reviews, and it is a tiny little sweat box up three flights of stairs. Wild to charge so much for so little value. What saved it was the view, which is indeed lovely, and the kindness of the staff.

Lovely hotel in a lovely fisherman's village

I had a lovely 2 night stay in Aquiles hotel , the building itself is brilliant, built with recycled materials and the rooms and breakfast area are brilliantly built ! The bed was very comfy and the room had a nice balcony to relax... The staff was great,welcoming and always eager to help...Breakfast could be improved. The hotel is located 10 meters from the beach and right on the main square of the small village of São Pedro.

stilvoll und modern, äußerst freundlich

modern und schlicht eingerichtetes Hotel mit viel Holz und hellen Zimmern. Nach Verfügbarkeit den Seaview-Room auf der Dachterrasse buchen, nicht nur wegen der Aussicht, sondern auch weil etwas windgeschützt. Unheimlich freundliches Personal, da haben wir selbst bei nur 1 Übernachtung frü um 5.00 Uhr ein sehr liebevoll hergerichtetes reichhaltiges Frühstück bekommen. Fluglärm ist trotz Nähe zum Flughafen kein Thema. Restaurantempfehlung: zentral im Nachbarort am anderen Ende der Bucht.

Conception de l'hôtel novatrice. Chambre fonctionnelle et confortable. Petit-déjeuner composé de délicieux produits frais. Personnel très sympathique et aux petits soins. Le propriétaire, M. Aquiles, est atypique et très intéressant. Idéal pour une fin de séjour à Sao Vincente.

Verblijf zonder tierelantijnen

Het verblijf tussen de lokale bevolking van Sao Pedro was bijzonder, ontzag voor de vrolijkheid van de mensen die naar Westerse maatstaven in armoede leven. Op de kamer van het hotel was maar 1 stoel, terwijl 2 toch wel fijn is. Ook ontbreekt een klein koelkastje. Gastvrijheid was prima en iedere avond verse vis.
