Absolutely fantastic. The best place in Azores we have been to. And the food they make is delicious!

AMAZING LOCATION, very great for meeting people too

We visited for 4 days over our honeymoon and were incredibly happy with everything: 1. The included breakfast was really varied, filling, and delicious 2. Opt-in dinners nightly were so tasty and incredible value compared to limited options nearby. 3. Our suite with ocean view was impressively furnished and designed considering how remote the location is (e.g. rain shower with plenty of hot water). 4. The staff were super welcoming, attentive, and helpful at all times. 5. The other guests that we shared dinner and common space with were fun to connect and hang out with and regularly shared tips for local adventuring and bottles of wine and beer. 6. The surf boards, paddle boards, wetsuits, and kayak were all great to have available for free. 7. Wifi worked well in common space. 7. Finally, the setting of Fajã da Caldeira de Santo Cristo is stunning and worth the trek in/out, by foot or by ATV. We opted for the hike in from Serra do Topo and trek out via Fajã dos Cubres.

A lovely place not accessible by car, you are at the end of the world. Very nice renovated room. Super nice staff with good cooking skills Very good breakfast to start a hiking day :)

We hiked in rain to get there, but it was worth it, we got a cheese and bread on arrival, invitation to a dinner (which we gladly accepted) and a nice breakfast (we ordered before), that included variety options (especially given the location. Very friendly stuff (and other guests too!)

Perfect location, great staff and great food. We had a wonderful time.

Incredible! The best place of my whole trip in the Azores David manage to make a super place to share and chill. Everybody is very friendly. I ll recommend to eat there both lunch and dinner (worth the money) - The bed are comfortable - Everybody I met there is respectful and interesting to talk to -The view is just awesome - 20min walk to the surf spot (free soft surfboard and nice hard board to rent)

Caldeira surf camp is located in the most idyllic place on Sao Jorge and feels like a home away from home. the view from the terrace was just amazing, and I enjoyed many meals shared with other guests there. You can walk in either direction from the house and enjoy some of the island’s best hikes, including a spectacular waterfall with plunge pool. There are surfboards you can use too, be sure to ask the guys where to go and tips for surfing here. A highlight for me as a solo traveller was spending time with the other guests and relaxing at the property. There’s a chef and you can choose to have all your meals prepared for you (additional charge) I would definitely recommend choosing this option as it’s very good value and it’s a great way to meet other people from all over the world. Plus, it’s a long walk down to carry all your stuff including food. I 100% hope to return to this magical place one day. Thank you David, Ben and the team for looking after me so well!

The house is amazing and location is just incredible. Of course to reach it it not easy but this is part of the charm. The guys who work these are very nice and the food is really nice.

Great stay at David's guesthouse. We felt like home while sharing nice conversation in a truly pristine location
