    Since i am a light sleeper, I really put a lot of value on the quiet room and surroundings. Vila Marilyn met my expectations. Vila Marilyn is a very nice place to stay in Sao Tome, we were so happy with them therefore we also stayed there...

This house is our personal paradise that we open up to people who want to enjoy pure Africa. We have a spacious swimming pool surrounded by a beautiful enclosed garden with lots of greenery. There is also a sunbathing area where you can lie down and a pergola where you can have a drink. There is always staff available to answer questions (Multilingual: English, French, Portuguese) The house is located in a real African neighbourhood, poor and quiet but with very friendly inhabitants. The location is walking distance from the center (15min). The house is monitored 24/7.
