The best accommodations São Tomé And Príncipe

Renovated in 2017, the Miramar has the charm of large luxury hotels, with its large lobby and imposing staircase. We choose it for its position, ideal for staying in the city, its large swimming pool in the heart of a beautiful garden, the impeccable service of its staff, the breakfast and the Baron, its good restaurant, and its impressive buffet. As for the 43 rooms of the hotel, they are comfortable and fully equipped, offering a beautiful view on the pool or the exotic garden. Some have a pleasant sitting area.

In a quiet and cozy setting, in the heart of a small garden full of flowers and fruit, a few air-conditioned rooms with private bathroom and toilet, clean and simple, offer a pleasant alternative for an evening outside the capital.

The menu features mainly fish and shellfish: deliciously seasoned sea crabs or hearty grilled fish with local vegetables.
