Featuring mountain views, VIP House-Praia Francesca features accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around less than 1 km from Lagarto Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace. The accommodation provides free shuttle service and a 24-hour front desk for guests.

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

Super friendly owner. she helped me a lot with arranging my travels around the place. also contacted a person offering the car rental. place was super clean. location on Google maps is correct - corner house. Room was hot but u get a fan so basically- getting what u paid for- no complaints. Mosquitoes are around so make sure you use the mosquito net over your bed properly! Definitely worth the money. would stay there again!

    Célia is an excellent host, 👌 with attention to detail and never too invasive, making everyone feel at paradise. The nice balance between the surrounding local community it is her persistent and refined work. And it elevates our experience with the locals. Breakfast is nice and delicious, and we had dinner cooked by a local woman. It amazed us how delicious and surprising it was. The location near the sea is memorable and top-notch! The management of all facilities, cleaning, etc, is well organized. Highly recommended 👌

    The atmosphere at Omali is very enjoyable, the rooms are clean and excellent breakfast selection, lots of options. The food I had for dinner could have been better, was not my favourite and prices are quite high, locals could never afford a dinner for almost €40 when the minimum wage is €50; therefore Omali is definitely a location only for tourists or locals with money.
