This was our second stay in Casa dos Valentes and our experience was just as wonderful. We love the peace and quiet in this comfortable home in the beautiful countryside near Santo Espirito. We stayed for 6 days and were lucky to have sunshine every day. The hosts, Catarina and Pedro, were extremely helpful and friendly. Pedro speaks good English and came up to chat a couple of times. We will definitely stay here again!

It was so peaceful and the house had everything we needed. We loved hearing the rural sounds, and the place was so easy to find. We were greeted as we drove up the driveway and check in was seamless. When we opened the door, we were greeted with a loaf of homemade bread, cookies, and jam from the Cooperative Bakery up the street along with milk and a large bottle of water. We cooked breakfast every morning, and when we weren’t out exploring, we enjoyed sitting on the front patio and watching the nearby cows and sheep grazing. And, given the size of the island (and the time of year we visited), we didn’t have any problem driving to Vila do Porto for more restaurant options (it was only 20 minutes away). However, we did enjoy our late morning coffee in one of the bars in the village of Santo Espirito.

We really enjoyed our stay in this very clean, nicely furnished, fully equipped traditional house located in the peaceful countryside just outside Santo Espirito. Everything for a comfortable visit is provided, including a good WiFi connection and a gift of local artisanal bread, jam, and cookies. The hosts, Catarina and Pedro, live close by and are friendly and accommodating. An early arrival was no problem, and when the weather forecast called for heavy rain the day of our departure, they offered to let us to stay later so we could relax in comfort before our flight. We highly recommend Casa dos Valentes!

A rustic house with a view, outside the village (700 m to the Brasilian bar in Santo Espírito). On a small hill with a tricky but manageable drive up. Pedro is a very helpful and responsible host and in case of any problem (we had with a hot water) he reacted immediately. The casa with all comfort needed for a nice stay on the island. We recommend Casa dos Valentes very much.

We really enjoyed our 11 night stay at Casa dos Valentes! The hosts were very, very friendly and helpful, they even helped print documents for us, and when we left today, they let us stay longer than normal check-out, since our plane left late in the afternoon. We couldn't be happier about this place, it was nice and comfy, clean and well-equipped and the views were lovely. We highly recommend Casa dos Valentes, Santo Espirito and Santa Maria, and hope to come back one day!

Very spacious and comfortable house for 2 people it was very well equipped and the host left some coffee, bread, jam and cookies to try from the area, it was a very nice detail. Owner was also very flexible with check in which we appreciated. Bathroom was big as well as bedroom. In terms of location is a bit more in the country side which we enjoyed as it was more quiet.
