I have stayed 2 nights on the 1 bed bungalow + 4 nights on the 2 bed bungalow: this review will be about both of these to avoid duplicate reviews. About the bungalows: - The bungalows are absolutely beautiful, very well cleaned, beautifully decorated. Mattress and pillows were super comfortable, as well as quality of the sheets. And bonus points - only accommodation in Sao Tome I found a duvet!!! Most places have just a small blanket but nothing beats a proper duvet for someone like me who always gets cold at night. - It has a mini fridge, a TV, hot water with good pressure, quality towels, a hammock and sofas outside to chill. Honestly, this is top quality accommodation, especially for the cost. About the property: - The staff are super kind and helpful and made me feel very looked after <3 and the owner Erikson was always available through whatsapp ready to send tips, ask how things are going, etc also super accommodating with doing late check out since my flights was not before 10pm. - Their menu is really amazing, and they have proper vegetarian meals!!! It's amazing to feel that vegetarian meals are not just an afterthought. The desserts were also absolutely spectacular (that passionfruit mousse... to die for). And the omelette they made for lunch was exquisite, other locations should learn from them on how to make an omelette dish that is actually good, not oily, balanced and super tasty. - The waterfall that can be heard from anywhere in the property is yet another amazing selling point. You can hike to see it up close! - I enjoyed the pool and the pond next to it, with fish and turtles! Even if turtles were a bit shy. Nice place to refresh after a day out. - And last but not least, Jeff, the ginger cat. He's such a lovely kitty!!! As a crazy cat lady this was definitely one of the best things (I often look for cat references in reviews so leaving this one for other crazy cat people like myself :)) Overall top notch accommodation in Sao Tome!

    Casa de Ferias is an exceptional little place to stay in Sao Tome. A larger than life host, Bernilda and I had a cosy annex room to relax and write during a stressful month. The location is excellent and great Wi-Fi too. This is the only place to consider to stay in Sao Tome.

    Our hosts Célia and her cats and dogs made sure to make our stay very pleasant. The very large garden and the bungalows are decorated with care, and make it comfortable to spend some peaceful and quiet time in there. Célia cooked us a very tasty local dish dinner. People in the community around are very friendly.

    From the capital (Sao Tome) , you will have a beautiful , yet challenging road ahead (approximately 2,5 hours, heaviest is Porto Alegre, even for a 4x4). But it is a reason to take it. The lodge is on a beautiful and breathtaking cliff. Amazing views. Driving in to the ecolodge area is just amazing. Pineapples all around, not to mention the rest. The cottage was spik and span and comfy. Different viewsites with well built platforms to do that. Beach within walking distance. Lot of different surfaces (rocks, sand, plants etc.)

    A rare gem. Small charming hideout at the edge of the world, right next to Sao Tome's best beach that you'll probably have all for yourself. Friendly service, good housekeeping, basic but cosey bungalows, great food. No amenities like hot water and 24/7 electricity, but the privacy and care you get more than make up for it. Oh yeah, the dog really likes to get petted :)

    The staff was very friendly and the location was good, one can get near the city centre on foot easily (about 15 min). If you're travelling late, the Guest House can keep you're luggage for free, and for 5€ you can take a shower before the flight, rest for a while on the cosy balcony or use the common kitchen.

    The lodge has a really good look and feel. Lots of green spaces, good swimming pool and cozy rooms. The staff is absolutely lovely, really nice. They are definitely one of the biggest plus. Breakfast is good as well, it’s also quite sustainable because the fruit that is served grows on the property. The property infrastructure is a mix of modern and old which is really nice, really good facilities overall. It was worth it, we really enjoyed our stay
