  
Eito is
one of the traditional villages on Santo
Antão of sugar-cane farmers,
traders, craftsmen living in the middle
of sugar plantations, papayas and mango
trees. For the time being, life continues
untouched by the big tourism business
and whoever wants to enjoy traditional
rural life is welcome.
German
born Sabine
Jähnel left Berlin more than
twenty years ago and made up a simple
but cosy home for her children, herself
and a few guests in private rooms.
Located
some 100 m from the mainroad, the rooms
offer clean and quiet budget-accommodation
in private rooms with a nice view over
sugar cane plantations and up into the
mountain range.
Most
guests are hikers loving the simple and
fullhearted atmosphere of mountain-cabins.
They come down track
101 from the Crater of Paúl.
The central location in the lower part
of the valley gives
easy acces within 10 min of walk to the
best ascent to Pico
da Cruz [103] via Ribeirãozinho and
to the valley
of Figueiral de Paúl
[102] reknown for ist abundant variety
of plants.
For a week of hike, Sabine's is quite
an excellent start point, not to forget
about her intimate knowledge of the island
and its culture.
The
kitchen offers a sound mix of european
and cape verdean meals, allways trying
to meet the guests needs. This is the
reason why breakfast ist not routinely
included and Guest can order what they
prefer. On appointment, supper is offered
as well.
For
guest who wish so, a driver can meet
them at the harbour of Porto Novo. This
opens the oportunity to have the luggage

and make use of the day of arrival for
a first hike, down from the crater to
