Casa Adriano & Filomena Montrond

Great value for money, amazing views, and the food here is really excellent. Adriano helped organise transfers, tours and coordinate plans. I had an amazing, relaxed stay here around hiking and exploring the town.

“Very good basic accommodations run by a charming and kind family”

Most reviews say this is a family place and you feel part of the family, and that’s true— the family are extremely nice. Adriano, Filomena, two of their children, a daughter‑in‑law and a grandchild also live there, so you’re with them when you’re not in your room. I normally wouldn’t like that, but they’re so kind and lovely that I grew to enjoy our time together. The pensão is a ten‑minute walk from the town centre, so there’s nothing around it except other houses. You have to walk to find other restaurants, bars, hotels, etc. The pensão has an entry building that is a house. Two or three rooms are there. Then you pass through a courtyard and see the building that hosts the dining space and kitchen. That is the one in the photos that has the excellent view of the volcano. Then you walk around that building to an area that has four round “traditional” structures that are rooms, and four square rooms. Each is an independent building. The food was very good, and, in my case, far more than I needed. The view from my room was of the volcano, which was very nice. You can arrange all of the typical hikes and visits, as well as airport transfers with the pensão. Adriano Jr is the driver; in fact, his job every day is driving a collective taxi to the island’s capital and back. The only issue is that the property feels like a construction site right now. Once you get to the eight independent structures that are most of the rooms, it’s very nice, but you have to walk through a lot of concrete and tools and an unattractive worksite feel to get there. There may be water and electricity restrictions, if that matters to you. It did not bother me. This is not the pensão’s fault. The town is powered by solar power and it was not working— for the entire town— so the pensão was using its generator, but not all the time. Similarly, there is a serious water shortage, so you are asked to use as little as possible. The location is not as good as several of the other pensões. They are “downtown” or are much larger and more self‑contained; this pensão is a bit isolated in a residential part of town.

Tout ! Les repas étaient délicieux. Un grand merci à Filomena et Adriano et leur famille pour l’accueil chaleureux. Je conseille vivement cet établissement. Très proche du pico de Fogo pour les personnes souhaitant effectuer l’ascension
