Casinha Nova - Comfort & Class in Fogo

Casinha Nova - Comfort & Class in Fogo

10/10 Excellent
"This was genuinely one of the best places I have stayed as a Vrbo member. The home was exceptionally spacious, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable rental stay. It even had thoughtful practical touches such as Tupperware/food-storage containers—something surprisingly rare in vacation rentals but very useful.The unit has large bedrooms, very comfortable beds, and plenty of space to relax. Inside, it felt polished, comfortable, and fully equipped; it truly did not feel like we were on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic.The terrace was a highlight. The view was amazing, and watching the sunset there each evening was spectacular. The ocean view was spectacular and it felt like you could throw a stone from the balcony.It was the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.The host was extremely helpful and generous with his time. He consistently made sure we were comfortable, was readily available whenever we needed anything, and made us feel genuinely well looked after throughout our stay.The area also felt safe and was easy to walk around, with coffee shops, stores, restaurants, and grocery options nearby.The next time I return to São Filipe, this will be my first choice for a rental. Highly recommended.Thank you again, Raul. You made our stay very memorable and enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing you soon."
