Fajã da Caldeira de Santo Cristo s/n, 9850-205 Fajã da Caldeira de Santo Cristo, Portugal –

Lock in a great price for Caldeira Guesthouse – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

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.

Goncalo, Portugal

The location is breathtaking. David an absolute pearl, very welcoming and friendly and extremely passionate about the product he is offering you. Relax and get in touch with nature and the elements in this beautifully restored and well run guesthouse.

Penny, Switzerland

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.

Thierry, France

The place very calm, the terrass with a big table to meet everyone, nice dinner with good products, owner very nice & cool

Alice, France

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.

“Great place”

- • King Suite with Sea View
- • Stayed 1 night
The Caldeira can only be reached by quad-bike (can be arranged), or a 45 minute hike. This is not a negative thing (in fact, I think that not being so easily accessible adds to its charm and character), but nevertheless getting there can be challenging for some people.
Nice people running the place. Community. Beautiful Caldeira, few minutes walk away and you can be swimming in a great scenery. Perfect for disconnecting from the busy world. Very peaceful. Would definitely return.

“Incredible does not even describe it to the nearest”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler

- • Stayed 4 nights
Couldn't think of anything
David and his Team were amazing. If you look for PayTV and Highspeed internet then this is the wrong place. If you look for amazing nature, a great location to just unwind from the hectic and busy live and testing yourself if you can still live without todays social media then go there and stay a few nights. The place is basic (so no TV, internet etc.) but the accommodation is clean and the hosts will take great care of you while you are surrounded by amazing nature and on clear nights see an incredible night sky. Set in a secluded village, which can only be reached by ATV or foot / bike if you got one, David and his team take great care of you. I thought of bringing my own food, which you can, but in the end I enjoy good breakfast with bread, cereal, fruit and plenty of good coffee in the morning and traditional portuguese meals (fish, meat and vegetarian) for dinner combined with portuguese wine from the mainland and from the Azores. Keep up the great work guys and for all travelers just enjoy it, take the SUP, walk to the waterfalls for a jump into the cool water or hike to one of the other Faja's or hitch hike to the rock pools an see the sun setting while taking a swim.
