Tom is a wonderful and helpful host, with many stories to share about Santo Antão. The restaurant serves Cap Verdean food with an Irish or European twist, making it meals a true delight. There are hikes directly out of the hotel, and a lovely pool to cool off in after the days adventures. There is a garden/plantation on site, so many of the meals are made with homegrown fruit and vegetables. Just one recommendation: arrive by daylight as the road narrows before getting to the Retreat, and there is a short hike along the “stairway to heaven” that leads to the hotel. These are best done while there is still some daylight! Overall a wonderful stay. Many thanks to Tom and his crew.

Good walk around but not really a trail hike .
Certainly the best views and atmosphere to relax.
I stayed in the Maracuja room , a very spacious and breathtaking view. It does get a bit warm during the day as the breez didn't really get into the room . There are a lot of centipedes during my stay I wish they would have cleaned the room when I was out hiking . Nevertheless for the price you pay and considering how remote it is , I will still recommend it .
