GUEST HOUSE QUINTA NATURAL Bangalots, hotel in São Tomé

This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. The guest house provides a restaurant serving African cuisine, as well as free Wifi throughout the property.

I think this was one of the most luxurious places we stayed, for low budget. It had hot water, rooms with equiped kitchen, comfy beds, TV (well sao tome only has 2 channels I believe), fan, good breakfast.... The owners are very hard workers and welcoming. We would have liked to stay more time here.

    Célia is an excellent host, 👌 with attention to detail and never too invasive, making everyone feel at paradise. The nice balance between the surrounding local community it is her persistent and refined work. And it elevates our experience with the locals. Breakfast is nice and delicious, and we had dinner cooked by a local woman. It amazed us how delicious and surprising it was. The location near the sea is memorable and top-notch! The management of all facilities, cleaning, etc, is well organized. Highly recommended 👌

    The atmosphere at Omali is very enjoyable, the rooms are clean and excellent breakfast selection, lots of options. The food I had for dinner could have been better, was not my favourite and prices are quite high, locals could never afford a dinner for almost €40 when the minimum wage is €50; therefore Omali is definitely a location only for tourists or locals with money.
