Paúl
is the greenest of valleys of Santo
Antão island.
The
muletrack over Lombo Comprido,
once of utmost importance, has metamorphised
into the wellknown hiking track 101 from
the caldera of Cova de Paúl
to Vila das Pombas at sea-level.
The
recently built Holiday House Aldeia
Manga is
located in an agricultural compound,
surrounded by sugar cane plantations,
mango and
monkey
bread
fruits,
Papaya-
and Bananas. It stands
high benath the valley and gives rest
to hikers and guests coming for a relaxing
leave where there is little more than
silence. Most are happy with the fact
that getting to the next road, bar, restaurant
or shop means at least 10 min of walk.
The small access road ends 100 m from the place.
The
kitchen is based on the best from the
local market. For guest not comfortable
with
the idea to prepare their food themselves,
Halfboard (breakfast and supper) can be
booked jointly
with the
accommodation. Lunch-packs are prepared
on request.
There
is no restaurant in the neighbourhood.
Bungalows with
private shower / WC offer budget accommodation
in this stress-free environment.
Taxi-services (ALUGUER) can be booked the way that the
driver meets guests at the harbour of Porto
Novo
upon arrival. If you like,
you can make use of the day of arrival
for
a three hours walk down from the crater
of Cova to Lombo Comprido (about
3 hours) and your luggage finds it
way to the house by itself.
