we have been traveling quite a lot but staying with Stan and Raphaele is really something special: a really warm, calm and relaxed atmosphere, all time an open ear for questions, and a help whenever you need it. although calhau is a little bit remote on sao vicente, Stan helps you to get to the next restaurant (and back), and...

We spent 4 weeks traveling around Cape Verde and this was our favorite hotel. Very stylish decor with large airy rooms. the food was excellent and thoughtfully prepared and presented. The owners went out of their way to be helpful on several fronts, although there were a few minor charges for things that really should be complimentary. The location is... More

We stayed at 5 different hotels on several different islands, and the Residencial Goa was hands-down the most wonderful place of our entire trip. The rooms are huge and airy; the hotel is directly on a gorgeous beach. The owners, Raphaele and Stanislaus, went out of their way to... More

(Only if you like extinct volcanoes, deserted beaches, a picturesque village, even a mountain or two.) Good food? (Raphaëlle is a superb cook.) But the real magic of Residencial Goa is the... More

Goa is one of these magic places that you would want to share only with your dear ones. Sometimes it is that good that you would share it even on the internet. Goa has a fantastic location, and first and foremost a very personal and tasteful touch. The owners are helpful and welcoming and truly live the idea of an... More

The best thing about this hotel has to be its owners. The french couple that runs the place really go out of their way to make your stay as nice as possible and make sure you feel very very welcome. The hotel is located about 10 min. from the village of Calhau, smack on the beach. Transfers (900 CVE one... More

This was my second trip to this hotel, so I didn't had to face any problem. Hotel is nice, the food was also good but the timings were odd for me since i had to leave the hotel early morning and they were unable to arrange for my breakfast. Room service and staff were very supportive. My both experiences were... More
