Reviews of Pousada do Ceu

Our room had access to a terrace with sea views. The room was clean. The staff was very friendly

Location is good if you want to be near the coast (we preferred the mountains to the coast here honestly; no beach) and the guesthouse is nice enough

Rooms and beds, while definitely good enough, feel a bit basic

Location is flawless - on a quiet street, but just off the main road. Aluguars stop virtually opposite the property and are very frequent, both going up the Paul Valley and along the coastal road. There is a little mini market just around the corner, open until 20:00. The owner is super - helpful and able to advise on all the best walks in the area. He suggested a much better walk than the one we initially wanted to do; he had maps and suggested places to eat. The room was very comfortable, clean, and the balcony was a nice bonus. The kitchen area is really nice, half al-fresco. All the staff were lovely and kind and very helpful. The internet works fine - there are 2 networks to choose from. I was also very grateful to have access to a guest fridge in the kitchen area. We regretted cancelling one of the 2 nights we'd initially wanted to stay and only staying 1. For bonus points, there is also a little 8-week-old puppy :)

I'm quite an independent traveller: I like having access to a kettle in the room and being quite hands-on preparing my own food, so I was a little surprised at how much the kitchen was the domain of the staff. But to be fair, that seems to be the universal way of doing things all around Cape Verde, and actually meant as a form of politeness. So it's not really a criticism, more a reflection on my own style of travelling. The access to the kitchen and anything else I might need was offered to me; I just didn't want to be a nuisance.

The hosts and staff were absolutely fantastic, friendly and welcoming! the room was clean and comfortable. Do not take note to previous reviews about no hot water! The shower was hot!! The breakfast was served at our table and there was plenty of variety. We will be back!

Excellent little hotel, very friendly people.

Everything OK.

Breakfast was nice touch. Laundry service and location was great with ocean views from patio

Breakfast was excellent, location good as a start for walks.

No complaints

Kind helpful hosts, lovely decor, clean and comfortable in a stunning setting

Nothing

We had a top floor room (with two big beds, superposed), with a big shared terrace. The room is big enough, simple but efficient for a holiday dedicated to hiking. The bathroom with the toilet and shower is big enough as well. Towels (big and few per person) were included. The place was clean enough, the girl was cleaning every day (not deep cleaning but a good refreshment). There are some good places to eat in the village (resto, local people).

As we shared the terrace with people smoking, I think you need to create the rule: either no smoking at all or you mention from the beginning to people that the terrace is possibly shared with smokers. We had to have an argument with the smokers in the other room (as they were smoking on the terrace, of course) as we couldn't let our door open for the fresh air from the ocean to enter as actually we could smell only their cigarettes...

Very friendly and helpful host, Due to a delayed flight Jan let us change our booking very obligingly. He gave us great tips for hikes and restaurants. The nice and clean room was even cleaned during our short stay. A nice terrace was available too. Anytime again!

Honestly for this price, you can’t challenge a lot of things. Bed was ok. I had a small balcony to rest, the staff was nice and if you had any questions they were able to advice you. Location is easily accessible by Aluguers. Everything was clean (except the carpet in the bathroom - not sure I would have put my feet on it directly)

I confirm Wifi doesn’t reach the room. But ok for me since I have a SIM card. Breakfast could be improved - I was a bit disappointed by it. You have to make it more attractive delicious.

Very nice b&b in a great location, rooms are pretty, spacious and very clean, staff is lovely, breakfast is delicious. There is a nice shared outdoor space/garden to chill out after hiking. Jan (I hope I got the spelling right) who manages the place offered a lot of help with planning hikes and gave me great recommendations. He also shared info on places to eat, transport options etc, which is very useful especially that this was my first time in this country. I stayed one extra night to do more hiking.  This time I came solo but I am planning to come back with my baby daughter and the boyfriend and stay again at this place. Really recommend it.

Nothing. I really liked the place and hope to stay there again

Very kind and home-like atmosphere. I got a lot of help in planning my hikings.

Helpful hosts, nice and clean room, good breakfast.

The wifi does not work inside the rooms, which might be an issue for some people. The connection was good when I was in the common area though.

the accommodation has a great location, the breakfast was very good, the possibility of sitting on the balcony was pleasant

Good located, agile host who always has tips for hikes and trips.

Very poor breakfast. Shower in the bathroom was very run down and somewhat disgusting mat in the shower.

A simple guesthouse in the small town of Paul. A great stopping point when hiking the Paul Valley. The guesthouse team were friendly and accommodating. The room basic but quiet and clean. The view from the terrace was good and a great place to relax after a day's hike! A nice breakfast in the morning - bread, fruit, eggs, juice and coffee.

A friendly house on a good location in Paul. The manager was very kind and had a lot of nice tips to do in the neighborhood. He knows a lot of hikings and arranged transport if you want. Good breakfast, beds and shower. If you pay a small amount, you can swim in the nice swimming pool behind the house by the neighbors. When you stay in Paul, you stay here in Pousada do Cue.

Nothing

My stay was nice I got many informations and good advices for visiting santo antao Good breakfast All the family is kind and helpfull

The family was so nice and helpful that I felt very good and welcome there. Any question I had, Kati helped me with a smile. Also she organised a taxi driver to bring me to the Cova de Paul and she lent me a map of Santo Antao during my stay which was very helpful to me. I had a very big room (normally for 2 adults and 2 kids) with bathroom and balcony. Near the balcony were banana trees and other trees and I heard the birds in the evening. The night is very quiet. There is another terrace for all the guests where you can sit. Breakfast was very good. The location is perfect. When you came down from Cova de Paul you arrive just nearby the Pousada. There is a supermarket just at the corner. It was the best place I stayed during my holidays on Cabo Verde.
