São Tomé – Gistihús

Benjamin Þýskaland

This accommodation was for us the start of a dream vacation. The comfort and size of the accommodation alone would be reason for us to rate highly. In addition, the incredibly dear and impressive host. We very rarely get into raptures, but this host is a sensation: so warm, so interesting and interested: simply impressive and what a gift to experience. A few more words about the accommodation. The accommodation is large, very clean and has a sensational terrace. The bed is perfect and large, windows have mosquito protection, are tight and even have blinds (so you can make it nice and dark to sleep) The garden is a dream. You not only see (almost) all the fruits you dream of, but also get them served for breakfast. Indescribably beautiful as already mentioned the meeting with the landlord Mr. Simão. Many recommendations, lots of interesting information and conversations about the region. It was also ingenious to arrive so late and have a place to stay so close to the airport. We were picked up, although it is only a few hundred meters, with a jeep. After many hours of flight, a luxury to be received so and to land in such a nice accommodation. Our summary and with focus on a round trip: the perfect place to arrive or depart from São Tomé and Principe and spent time close to airport and a nice beach close to the town. If we were business travelers we would say: a perfect place to have a nice, calm and safe accommodation away from the center

This is the perfect place to chill and be completely connected with nature and the beach. The house is big and nice, with a "private beach" just few steps down from the house. We stayed in a big room with private bathroom. The way to get there is complicated due to the rocky road, but the owners take you from and to the airport with a specific car for that kind of roads; also, they already have a plan to renew the road that will start during the first months of 2024, so that will be no problem anymore :) There is a guard during the night and the owners are very flexible with the transport, they are all super nice. To make the experience even better, we found 5 puppies from one of the two dogs that apparently live in the surroundings of the house, which was just perfect. We will be back!

The staff were accommodating and helpful. They arranged a rental car and driver for us, making our visit stress-free and enjoyable. The hotel is only five minutes drive from the airport and within easy walking distance from the town, several good restaurants, and the beach. We also found the local people helpful and friendly throughout our trip. Sao Tome is truly a paradise. We could have easily spent more time there.

I think this was one of the most luxurious places we stayed, for low budget. It had hot water, rooms with equiped kitchen, comfy beds, TV (well sao tome only has 2 channels I believe), fan, good breakfast.... The owners are very hard workers and welcoming. We would have liked to stay more time here.
