Let me introduce you to Hotel Château Georgette, the first castle in Cape Verde, whose visual boundaries meet the imposing limits of Rocha Grande, with Pedra das Moças to the North and Lombo Comprido to the South. Geographically located in the lush green valley of the Ribeira do Paúl watershed, here in the heart of Santo Antão Island, this hotel perfectly combines classic and modern elements. It boasts architectural harmony and a unique, exclusive decoration where everything feels natural and welcoming, complemented by the hospitality and kindness of the staff—often referred to as the “morabeza” of our people.

At all times, you will enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, a mild climate among the mountains, and the soothing sound of flowing waters in the nearby stream, just a few meters from the hotel. In fact, hiking from the hotel is inevitable, given its strategic location in the heart of the Paúl Valley. In just a 10-minute walk, you will reach our emblematic tourist landmark, Estância de Passagem, a park that is widely recognized across Cape Verde.

I invite you to visit Paúl, a municipality that has left its mark on the history of Santo Antão Island, and discover Hotel Château Georgette—the first castle in Cape Verde. Its surroundings blend seamlessly with the breathtaking Paúl Valley, indisputably the most beautiful valley in Cape Verde. This land is the birthplace of poet Januário Leite, musician Antoninho Travadinha, and many other artists. It is also the land of grogue, yam, and breadfruit, nurtured by the ever-flowing waters of the ribeira.

During your visit, whether arriving via the valley’s interior road from the coastal area of the municipality or following the winding hiking trail from Cova, starting in the forested highlands of the Eastern Plateau, you will uncover the secrets of Château Georgette, a place full of surprises. From the rooftop terrace, balconies, or windows, you can gaze at the stars on dark nights or admire the golden sky under the full moon.

Enveloped in natural beauty—not only by the charm of its hidden corners, the diversity of natural colors in its vegetation, and the majestic mountains—but also by the culture and traditions of its people, this destination holds immense potential for sustainable tourism. It adds value to the municipality, making it a must-visit reference point in Cape Verde.

Everything you need to recharge your energy is here. Without a doubt, this will be the highlight of your visit to Santo Antão. Here, we break the monotony and strengthen the bonds of friendship, making this an unforgettable journey—one where your return is already certain before you even leave.
