Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The view from the room was breathtaking – we could have sat there for hours just enjoying it. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and we slept so well every night. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic – everything was fresh and delicious! We especially loved the homemade juices, teas, yogurts, and meals – such a treat! We also really appreciated all the helpful advice and recommendations about local sights, hiking trails, and places to visit. It made our trip even more special. We would love to come back and can highly recommend this place to anyone!

Besides the gorgeous location, the friendly staff and the good food, the staff went out of their way to organise a seperate dinner for my husbands birthday, with decorations and everything you could wish for. They couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommend!

Quite expensive, but again, well worth it

Amazing room, so clean and stylish and unbeatable view. Location right off the main walking trails, they provide you with qr codes for selfguided hikes on maps.me (works offline). Breakfast was heavenly. It does not have a swimming pool but honestly it wouldn't make sense in the mountains as it rarely is hot enough to enjoy it. Bathroom is very nice though with great shower

Missing signs in the village, how to access Casa. N/A - Everything was perfect.

The room was spacious with comfortable bed and sofa. The view from the room is stunning. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is tasty and good, also dinner was absolutely fantastic. Please note: access to Casa is a bit tricky and if you travel by car - you need to leave at village. However, staff can help you with your baggage.

I’m seventy so didn’t like all the stairs. Not a problem for younger people. Access also a bit tricky.

Good comfortable bed. Everything very clean. Spacious room. Like a tree house in the jungle for Europeans.

Staff went all out to help us arrange our hike down from the crater to the lodge, even to arrange for our driver to get us two hiking poles to borrow.

The crew of Casa Cavoquinho did everything to make this a memorable stay - from a delicious breakfast and dinner, providing filtered water for the hikes, providing detailed recommendations for various tours, supporting with transportation and so on. The house is situated perfectly to start various hikes from their doorsteps and the view from the rooms and terraces are stunning.

Good bed and amazing views. Got good hiking instructions too.

The internet was not so stable.

The location is astonishing, the staff is attentive and helpful, the food is tasty, the room is comfortable and has unbelievable view. Hike to Cova crater and back took 4 hours.

The best part about Casa Cavoquinho is the location! Waking up to a view of the Paúl Valley is indescribable and so beautiful to experience. It’s like something out of a film. A true gem. You’re also close to some great hikes. The rooms are a bit more simple, but the property is clean and well-maintained. Great service and communication from the staff all around. The breakfast and dinner they serve is also delicious. I would come back here and recommend this place to friends.

A pity to leave after a short stay this time.

We enjoyed being back after our last stay 7 years ago. The view was still amazing, the rooms comfortable, the dinner, breakfast and drinks (bissap!) very tasty, the staff and owner very friendly and the little village still charming. We were very lucky, because Charles the friendly dog of the casa chose to accompany us on our Pico d'Antonio-hike. The location is great. At the end or start of the hike to Cova, and the whole valley is at your feet. In the nearby village there are also some options for lunch or coffee or drinks.

The curtains.

What not to like!? Olaf and all other staff members took amazing care of us. Everyday they helped us planning out amazing trips, amazing breakfast and delicious dinners. Also we enjoyed the help of the driver Evandro who made our stay memorable. The lady who serves dinner is very kind and the one who cooks is an amazing cook!!!!
