Located in Paul, Kasa d'Vizin offers accommodation with seating area. This guest house features air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. The guest house provides garden views, a sun terrace, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. Kasa was extremely comfortable, modern, and well-designed. Food portions were very generous, excellent wifi, and there was also free drinking water (instead of having to buy small bottles all the time). Ana helped with planning my hikes and organizing a guide. It's not too long a walk to Paul to catch the aluguers though it's important to keep in mind the island is huge and it takes time and money to get around. I regretted moving to another area b/c I really loved my stay here.

MeloMar Rooms is situated in Ponta do Sol. With sea views, this accommodation features a patio. The guest house has family rooms.

Opening to a terrace with mountain, city or quiet street views, all units are fitted with a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a toaster. Free WiFi is accessible to all guests, while some rooms also boast a balcony. At the guest house, units have bed linen and towels. We had a lovely stay at MeloMar Rooms in Ponta do Sol. The accommodation is very central (about 5 mins from just about everything in town) and is clean and comfortable. We had a huge room with a balcony and a very modern en-suite bathroom. A big benefit for us was also the well equipped shared kitchen which meant we could cook for ourselves on a couple of nights. But the best thing about the stay was our hosts, they were kind and friendly and although they didn’t speak much English and we don’t speak much Portuguese, we made it all work just fine! In particular they helped us out when we got the timing wrong for the morning aluguer to Porto Novo - they phoned around and then went out into the square to help find a driver that was willing to to take us in time for our transfer. Amazing. Thank you - I hope we can come back and stay again some time.

Offering garden views, Residencial Lela d'Fermina in Pombas offers accommodation, a garden, a terrace, a bar and a shared lounge. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. Guests can make use of the picnic area or the year-round outdoor pool, or enjoy views of the mountain and pool. I absolutely loved staying at Residencial Lela d’Fermina and next time I’m back in Santo Antão this is the place I’ll stay at, no doubt. The owner, Mr Antonio, is a gem of a person, and the whole staff was really nice and kind. The room was spacious and had everything I needed — I’d probably just add a kettle. The restaurant across the road was also such a lovely experience, the view is amazing, the owner is so kind, and the food is delicious and so cheap. After the craziness of Mindelo I really appreciated the opportunity to rest at this peaceful place, surrounded by mountains, and chilling by the pool. Antonio is really knowledgeable about the surrounding area and he made sure I was taken care of the entirety of my stay. Muito obrigado, Sr António! Tornou a minha viagem memorável, nunca o vou esquecer 🙏

Set in Ponta do Sol, Casa Celeste features accommodation with seating area. The property features city and quiet street views. The guest house offers mountain views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk. Super nice hosts. Breakfast was at the top and flexible between 7 and 9 with an omelet and plenty of cold fixings to fill one up. Arranged a shared taxi for my return trip to the airport that picked me up at the guesthouse. The room was large and fairly comfortable with nice hot water in the shower.

Located in Ponta do Sol, Música do Mar features a bar. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Nice place with friendly staff. No air-conditioning but still cool by leaving windows open, with the downside being outside noise and a couple of streetlights lighting the room somewhat.
