🫤 Don’t bother going, there’s only the owner’s house. Call first. I called the guy afterwards and he told me only has one car and unavailable. He speaks good english though.

Beach
👍👍 Very nice beach. When touring the island of Sao Tomé make sur you have your bathing suits and some towels at hand. The sand here is dark grey, almost black. The waters are very swimmable and the place makes for a good stop when connecting north and south of the island. Although there are 2 shy bar i...

Bar
👍👍 An original Sao Tome must-go bar for visitors. (Did not visit restaurant). Atmosphere is great. The passion-fruit rum (local rum) drink is a must. But if you easily get an headache from too much alkohol, don't exceed 4 drinks :-) . Music was in the early evening at a talk-friendly volume.

👍👍 Great beach to swim and chill at! The road is quite rough but manageable (we visited in dry season, no 4x4). No trash (or if so, just a little).

Roca Sao Joao de Angolares
Hotel
👍👍 Had the wonderful pleasure of spending last few days at this old plantation. Without air-conditioning, and an infrastructure unchanged since colonial times this is an amazing place offering True Luxuries like the sound of nature at night, and a kitchen where using only fresh produce from the own est...

Jardim Botânico do Bom Sucesso
Botanical garden
🫤 This place left me with very mixed feelings ... part of me was about to cry and another was enjoying the rich flora. I personally love gardens and gardening. The visit was extremely interesting thanks to the passionate guiding of our guide. On the other hand, the current condition of the garden is s...

👍👍 Good food (even sth like Fish and Chips), nice place close to the ocean and the main street. Obviously - as in many small restaurants - power supply sometimes shutting down. Cars can be parked on the other side alongside a small road.

Roça Água-Izé
Open air museum
👍 Lugar histórico que bien vale una visita para ver como eran las Roças portuguesas. Haciendas con mano esclava o trabajo forzado más tarde. Desde el hospital, ocupado como todas los edificio, hay una gran vista. Una asociación de guías locales hace la visita.

😐 Nothing special unfortunately. The place and the surroundings are not in the best shape. Still, its right next to the river where you can see women washing clothes and children playing.
