Unique and unforgettable
Pros: Unbelievable experience- to stay with a view of Pico Fogo right in front of you, day and night. Marisa provides everything you need, our excellent guide up the volcano, transfers from Sao Philipe, pack lunches, lunch, dinner etc. We took a number of meals in town however just to meet the village. Everyone was so friendly, and happy to have us. Our roundelle was perfect for the view but also our private roof terrace with hammocks and sofa.
Cons: Nothing but don’t worry about it being cold at night- the lava under the floors is perfect heating. We slept with all windows Open and fan on - despite the altitude.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional stay – highly recommended!
Pros: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional stay – highly recommended! I had a wonderful stay at Casa Marisa 2.0, where I rented a single room, and everything exceeded my expectations. The location is absolutely stunning – peaceful, unique, and surrounded by breathtaking nature. One of the highlights was the rooftop terrace with a hammock, offering an unforgettable view of the volcano. Watching the landscape from there was truly magical. The room was excellent: clean, comfortable, and very well designed. The underfloor heating was a fantastic surprise and made evenings especially cozy. The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and full of local flavor. On top of that, the service was outstanding – warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You really feel taken care of here. This place has a special atmosphere, combining comfort, amazing views, and exceptional hospitality. I would gladly return and highly recommend Casa Marisa 2.0 to anyone visiting the area.
Cons: None

Pros: This is where the excursion to the Pico do Fogo starts. The host, Mustafa, will give you the right tips and will find a guide for your hike. Marisa's cuisine is splendid (and we are a vegan and a vegetarian) and the staff are very kind.

Pros: Probably the best stay in the Caldeira. Mustafa, Marisa and all their team went above and beyond to help me and others with tours and suggestions. Food is super nice, and one of the fastest WiFis I ever had. Did the Pico hike with one of his guide, departing 6 and still there was breakfast before. On my departure day i hiked down to Mosteiros and Mustafa organised for my backpack and a driver to wait for me at the end of the hike to go to the airport.

Perfect place to stay to enjoy this part of Fogo 🌋
Pros: Beautiful location and rooms, hard working friendly team and good food. Nelito was great guide for us on our excursion and Mustafa was very accommodating during our stay.
Cons: Maybe add ‘blackout’ blinds/curtains in the rooms-probably not an issue for most guests who are most likely waking early to climb the volcano but would be a nice option when having a later start to the day. Hope to come back again soon 🤞🏻

Pros: Hotel in an extraordinary environment, with a beautiful garden and outstanding view. Everything is well organized and clean. The food and wine are on a high quality level, very friendly staff. The hotel has its own guides for the hikes, everybody involved to the business (owner, staff, guides) did a great job. The people at this location are hard working and offer a quality which is beyond normal cabo verde standards. The owner Marisa is a good leader and her husband Mustafa did a lot for the environment, like a new ladder to access the caves. Special thanks to Carlos Fernandez, the guide and wine farmer, who brought me to Pico de Fogo and the caves and showed me around the island the next day. I can definitely recommend him as a very experienced guide.
