    Lovely old building filled with antique furniture. Good central location in Sao Filipe. Small swimming pool (if chilly). Pleasant outdoor seating area. The owner kindly upgraded us to a room with ensuite, as someone else had been put in the room...

    Gorgeous room very well decorated. Location is very central, friendly staff and helpful. The swimming pool was a great extra since the ocean was too strong to get into the water.
