I can only say good things about this place. First of all the family is really nice and via whatsapp always reachable. Secondly they organise whatever you need (ride, car, boatrip etc). I didnt to a boatrip so cannot tell much, but organised a car within a few minutes. Of course it is basic but still clean, hot water and the best Wifi I had so far. It is in the middle of nowhere, you either need transport or quite a bit of walking towards Santo Antonio or the beaches. I did it, Beaches are about 2-3h round trip. Santo Antonio about 2h round trip but quite steep. Dinner I eat twice and both times plenty and good and it is afordable. The son even speaks perfect english, which is super rare in STP. The cherry on top airport transfer is free

The location is really special. From the bathroom window I could see hundreds of beautiful birds, the garden is amazing, and I felt welcomed.

This is a great little place. The room with private bathroom is good, the aircon is good, breakfast is very good, worth the price, Carlos is a very nice host who goes the extra mile to make your trip comfortable; organising boattrips, excursions on the island, airport transfer or even sometimes cooking a meal in the evening if he has the time. Highly recommended!

The house is very nice, the host is very kind. We asked for dinner, it was very good. The house is not in the downtown, the environment is quiet. It has air conditioning, which comes very handy. The access road is a dirt-road, in a usual surrounding as any small place in SaoTome, but the garden around the house is nice. It is a good price/value ratio, any time again. The north beaches are easily acessible from here. We could park in the garden, and they also offer car rental, which is a very good idea, we unfortunately rented from another company, and we did have issues with fuel. Had we rented from here, all the hassle would have gone. So rent their car if you book with them!

Rita and Brankihno (manager of the place in Principe) really did all to make us feel greatly hosted. We had some trip with Brankihno and his wife even cooked a dinner for us (local dish from octopus) which was very touchy. We saw monkeys on pur terrace in the morning (be ready to be waken up by chickens, ducks and dogs) but monkeys were really cute;))

Our stay is Roça Lucindo was spectacular. We really enjoyed the privilege of being in the middle of a tropical forest surrounded by nature, birds and butterflies. We were even able to spot monkeys that were having their dinner at the nearby trees! The house is well equipped and despite some electricity cuts we always had hot water. The road to the house is a little tricky- remember you are in the middle of a jungle. You need 4x4 car. Lucindo and his wife Marie are extremely welcoming and always available for questions or requests. Marie is also an excellent cook! She was preparing very tasty local dishes for us. We would definitely come back!
