Location

In the lush heart of the island of Santo Antão, Cape Verde, lies Rocha Grande — a still little-known gem that captivates with its natural beauty, tranquility, and authenticity. Located in the stunning Paul Valley, this locality offers a rare combination of imposing landscapes and absolute serenity, making it the perfect setting for those seeking a genuine connection with nature and the essence of Cape Verdean culture.

It is precisely in this setting that Château Georgette was born, a charming hotel that found in Rocha Grande the ideal place to offer a unique experience to its visitors. Surrounded by towering mountains and lush vegetation, the hotel stands right by the roadside, in one of the island’s most impressive spots, with a direct view of Cape Verde’s steepest mountain, rising to over 1,400 meters in altitude — a true natural wonder that inspires awe and admiration.
Its strategic location makes it the perfect starting point for hiking and trekking enthusiasts. Nearby, several trails wind through the valley, passing plantations, streams, and small villages, offering visitors direct contact with local daily life and a deep immersion into the culture of Paul. And for those looking to cool off after a good hike, the area’s waterfalls offer hidden paradises where one can swim and relax in perfect harmony with nature.

More than just a destination, Rocha Grande is a sensory experience: the pure mountain air, the sound of running waters through the valleys, the intense green of the slopes, and the warm hospitality of the local people make this place an unparalleled refuge. Far from the frantic pace of the cities, here you breathe calm, authenticity, and natural beauty.
