There are no maior hotels on São Nicolau.
However there are a few small comfortable B&Bs and guesthouses to choose from.
For example:
Pensão Jardim
This delightful pension is set on the hillside in Ribeira Brava
You reach it after a short walk from the road and up some steep steps. The owners are very welcoming and keep everything spotlessly clean.
On the first floor is a small terrace with chairs and tables and an impressive view over Ribeira Brava.
On the top floor are the breakfast room, bar and restaurant, serving good Cape Verdean food.
Pensão Santo Antonio
This guest house is situated on the pretty main square in Vila da Ribeira Brava
It is comfortable and has spacious en suite rooms.
Some rooms face the square and others face the valley side.
Expect a warm Cape Verdean welcome:
