Casa Isabella Fogo Holiday Rental (Sleeps 6)

  The position of Casa Isabella, within a few minutes of the lively atmosphere of Sao Filipe on Fogo Island, makes it the ideal choice for a relaxing and carefree summer holiday, an out of season break, or a long winter stay. Indeed, this high quality villa, in its beautiful setting, has an individual, and rather special feel to it. It is set in a small, mature development of two-storey, linked villas around lawns, palm trees and flowering shrubs, and two lagoon-style pools. In the villa’s small, hedged garden there is an abundance of shrubs - hibiscus, poinsettia, roses and jasmine. Inside, the villa is both spacious and comfortable. On the ground floor are the entrance lobby, a very large living area, kitchen/utility area and a large, modern shower room/cloakroom. A wide staircase leads to the first floor hallway, and three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a balcony. The front porch, with its south westerly aspect, is ideal for catching the afternoon/evening sun, especially appealing in the winter months. The beach, where there is a good choice of bars, restaurants, shops, is an easy stroll of about 300 metres, and the attractive port and historic old town of Sao Filipe can be reached by bus or by car in minutes.

The crater has a breach in its eastern rim, and a large peak rises in the centre. The central cone Pico forms the highest point of the island and its summit is about 100 m higher than the surrounding wall of the crater. A small village, called Ch das Caldeiras, exists at the base of the volcano, and the residents are periodically evacuated during eruptions. 5000 people live on the volcanos slopes, most of them inside the crater. This is the most fertile area for farming.
