Amazing location and staff. Ideal for a break in the nature.

The Surfcamp blends in perfectly in this setting, and offers simple (yet complete) rooms in a traditional styled house in the nicest part of the fajã. Meals are served in a large table, where you get to trade experiences with other guests. The food was nice, but above all the relaxed atmosphere is a major part of making your stay a great « disconnect » moment.

The magic of the very singular place, specially after descending the Topo trail. The very good meals received from the cooker Patricia.

Miguel

This is a truly magical spot. Emerging after a nice walk onto a beautiful embankment by the water, overseen by tall rockfaces and all shades of green, was really something. David and his staff are caring and attentive. Facilities are clean and kitchen is stocked. If you want to get off the path and sleep with the ocean waves, this is the place for you.

We really loved the experience in the Caldeira surf camp. Moreover than a holidays experience it's a life's one. The opportunity to discuss with the owner David was a really life's lesson. More than a simple place to stay for holidays it's also the occasion to think about life, choices and being in line with your values.

David went to pick us up at velas, taught us a lot about the island culture and history. The house is super clean and comfortable. Caldeira de santo cristo is a very quiet and beautiful place, perfect to rest and be with the nature.
