I had a great time at Casa Pedrina. Ricardo is an amazing host that loves to share his knowledge and experience of Cape Verde. His house is located in a peaceful valley and has all the accomodations needed. Also the dinner and breakfast made with the fruits and vegetables growing on his own land were very tasteful. Thanks again Ricardo!

Amazing place with so much history. Dinner with Ricardo’s family and friends was 💯. He helped arrange my whole trip. Such a great guy and couldn’t recommend the casa and his services enough.

First and foremost, the staff at Casa Pedrina is exceptional. Anton and Marlene hosted me throughout my stay. Both of them are superbly friendly, very welcoming and caring. Marlene cooks delicious food. Breakfast is always served with fresh Papaya. Dinner is always something slightly different yet amazing. Be it meat, fish or cachupo, it's all mouth-watering. Anton is a great host and offers to take you on trips or show you the garden. Unfortunately my schedule was a little too busy for either of these. The location is also marvelous. It seems not too many tourists know Coculi, a small village in a neighbouring valley of the more famous Paúl valley. It's a good location to stay to get to various places for hikes. Aluguers (collective minivans) travel quite frequently from here to Ribeira Grande, from where you can get another Aluguer to a different section. You can of course also get a taxi from here to wherever you want, though that is significantly more expensive (some places require a taxi, though). Look, this is a guesthouse, not a hotel. It's a rather old house (with some interesting history - it used to be the first school in the village), therefore, don't expect top-notch, sparkling white facilities. Everything works here, though the drainage system in my bathroom did smell. I was prepared to put up with these slight discomforts, though, and for the price one cannot complain. The pros outweigh the cons here.

Very warm welcome in a beautiful house with history, perfectly located for hikes. Marlene and Joana cooked delicious meals for us; dinner with local fish and breakfast with fresh papaya and homemade delicacies. Everything was perfect! We highly recommend this place as well as the company Djambai Tours, run by Ricardo. He offers great experiences, tips, beautiful accomodations (Arla in Mindelo, Sao Vicente), all in respect with the population and culture. He offers his services on the islands of Sao Vicente and Santo Antao.

Great accommodation . Very rustic and cozy , staff was very helpful and food was great . Great for those who wanted to indulge life in the valley . Wifi was a bit slow but everything else is as expected.
