Hotel
Savana is located at one of the nice green
squares,
right in the heart of the historical centre
of the island-capital São
Filipe.
The nicely renovated "Sobrado" (historical
mansion) combines typical elements of classical
sub-tropical architecture; large tiled roofs
shadowing the inner court and balconies in front
of the rooms on the first floor.
The swimming
pool in the courtyard is well protected against
wind and there is always a shadow place available
to relax. "Persianas" in
front of well sized windows and between the rooms
of the basement allow the dry air to circulate
freely throughout the building. Every room has
a shady balcony. Traditional arquitecture is
definitely more sensible and comfortable and
less noisy and energy consuming than modern air
condition. Nevertheless, some of the rooms are
equipped with AC in order to be prepaired for
even the hottest days of summer. |
