Hotel Château Georgettepublished: 04-08-2022Sejam bem-vindos ao Hotel Château Georgette. Apresento-vos o Hotel Château Georgette, o primeiro castelo de Cabo Verde, cujas fronteiras visuais esbarram nos limites da imponente Rocha Grande, com Pedra das Moças á Norte e Lombo Comprido á Sul. Geograficamente situado no interior do verdejante vale que corresponde à bacia hidrográfica da Ribeira do Paúl, aqui no centro da Ilha de Santo Antão, trata-se de um hotel que combina o clássico e o moderno, detentor de um equilíbrio arquitetónico e uma decoração singular e exclusiva, onde tudo é natural e acolhedor, aliado á hospitalidade e gentileza característica dos funcionários, por muitos batizado como a “morabeza” das nossas gentes. Logo, a todo momento terão um ambiente tranquilo, um clima ameno por entre as montanhas, com águas cantantes na ribeira a escassos metros do hotel. Aliás, os passeios pedestres a partir do hotel são inevitáveis, devido a sua localização estratégica no coração do vale do Paul. Em apenas 10 minutos caminhando, chega-se a nossa emblemática Estância turística de Passagem, um parque que já dispensa aprestações em todo Cabo Verde. Convido-vos, portanto, a visitarem, aqui no Paul, Município que tem a sua marca na história da Ilha de Santo Antão, o Hotel Château Georgete, o primeiro castelo de Cabo Verde, cujo ambiente envolvente é o próprio Interior do vale do Paul, indiscutivelmente o vale mais lindo de Cabo Verde, terra natal do Poeta Januário Leite, do músico Antonin Travadinha e de diversos outros artistas; terra do Grogue, do inhame e da Fruta-pão regadas pelas águas correntes da ribeira. Nesta visita que nos propomos, por um lado, através da estrada do interior do vale a partir do litoral do Município, ou por outro, pelo serpenteado circuito pedestre de Cova, a partir da floresta do planalto Leste, vão descobrir o Château Georgette, que guarda em si muitas surpresas. Do alto do terraço, das varandas ou das janelas, contemplamos as estrelas nas noites escuras, assim como o céu dourado nas noites de lua cheia. Enquadrado na beleza natural, não só pela magia dos seus recantos, pela diversidade de cores naturais, característica da sua vegetação, imponentes montanhas, pela cultura e tradições do seu povo, encerram em si um enorme potencial turístico sustentável, agregando valor ao Município como um destino de referência e obrigatório. Tudo o que você precisa para recarregar suas baterias está aqui. Sem dúvidas, aqui será o ponto alto sua visita a Santo Antão. Assim conseguimos quebrar a monotonia e selar a amizade que nos une numa viagem inesquecível em que o retorno fica marcado antes da partida. Faça já a sua reserva.

Project "Children of the Valley"published:09-02-2022As a grandmother, mother and aunt, I like all my children, nieces and nephews. Children are the future and we are here to protect them and help them where we can. For this reason, I commissioned my management team to create the "Children of the Valley" project. As far as I'm concerned, an annual children's party on National Children's Day where as many children from the Paúl valley can enjoy, play and dance. Many of our sisters and brothers from Paul's valley have a life far from easy. Many work in agriculture, women carry heavy materials on their heads with all the consequences it has for their backs. Many live far away or high in the mountains, which makes accessibility very poor. During all the challenges of a family's daily life, especially the children of the valley are "forgotten". This is especially true for children with disabilities. To forget as much as possible these concerns, at least once a year, Georgette organizes a day of leisure and fun for children of the valley during National Children's Day. This is carried out in cooperation with the local municipality in the beautiful park, "Estância Turística de Passagem" of the Valley. It's worth a look, it's a beautiful park. In this way, we hope to contribute to the local social development of the residents of the Valley.
