Valdivia Homes -Príncipe is set in Santo António and offers a garden and a terrace. The air-conditioned accommodation is 13 km from Zona Ecologica Principe Ecological Zone, and guests can benefit from on-site private parking and complimentary WiFi.

We have no words to describe such an amazing stay in this accommodation. Excellent location, stunning views, wonderful terrace and spacious insides. The place have everything you need to relax and chill once you come back from day trips. But by far the best thing about the place is the host and manager, Rita and Joaquim. Lovely people that made us feel at home all time and showed us the island and its experiences. They organize everything you can ask for. We recommend it 100% and we are already planning our next visit.

Boasting garden views, Roça do Lucindo features accommodation with a garden, around 8.7 km from Zona Ecologica Principe Ecological Zone. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

Our stay is Roça Lucindo was spectacular. We really enjoyed the privilege of being in the middle of a tropical forest surrounded by nature, birds and butterflies. We were even able to spot monkeys that were having their dinner at the nearby trees! The house is well equipped and despite some electricity cuts we always had hot water. The road to the house is a little tricky- remember you are in the middle of a jungle. You need 4x4 car. Lucindo and his wife Marie are extremely welcoming and always available for questions or requests. Marie is also an excellent cook! She was preparing very tasty local dishes for us. We would definitely come back!

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Casa do Rio is set in Nova Cuba. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

The house is very nice, the host is very kind. We asked for dinner, it was very good. The house is not in the downtown, the environment is quiet. It has air conditioning, which comes very handy. The access road is a dirt-road, in a usual surrounding as any small place in SaoTome, but the garden around the house is nice. It is a good price/value ratio, any time again. The north beaches are easily acessible from here. We could park in the garden, and they also offer car rental, which is a very good idea, we unfortunately rented from another company, and we did have issues with fuel. Had we rented from here, all the hassle would have gone. So rent their car if you book with them!

    Beautiful cabin surrounded by nature, great ocean view and a 3 minute walk from the beach. Perfect place to enjoy Principe. Also within a walking distance from the center. The host is super friendly and the house is very clean, well equiped with an airco, fridge and microwafe and brand new. In the morning you hear all kinds of birds and the place is very peaceful. We had a lovely stay at Kingfisher and would defenitely go back there.

    It‘s like one of the many countryside small hotels, I personally would not book. But this yes because it‘s a stylish old colonial Building and they have a Perfect Guide system to take you out to excursions by 4WD or to go their the beach hotel for 20€ which is a correct price. Not and issue except that the menu card is not very big.

    Well kept and faithfully renovated plantation providing a glimpse into Príncipe’s colonial history. Nice and comfortable rooms. Stylish yet cozy restaurant with garden and orchids, overlooking the combined rainforest and cocoa plantation hillsides down towards the sea, dotted with tall, tropical trees. The stay may be pricey, but includes breakfast and three courses dining of high international standard, Portuguese wine, and in the daytime unlimited transportation and guided tours of your choice.
