This small guesthouse is a gem! Our twin double room had a large sitting area and was probably more than 400 sq ft. The communication before arrival was excellent. The breakfast was very good and they allowed us to check our luggage while we explored the city. I would stay there again.

8/10 Very good

Located in an excellent, central area. As similar reviews noted, it was fairly noisy when someone was walking past the bedroom door due to the wooden floorboards. Breakfast was a nice selection of pastries/ meats/ cheeses and hot drinks. Would stay again and recommend to family and friends

Très bien

Chambre très confortable et propre. Notre chambre était au quatrième étage. Dommage qu’il n’y avait pas d’ascenseur. Petit déjeuner pris tôt en raison d’un train à prendre : nous aurions apprécié de pouvoir profiter des croissants qui n’avaient pas été disposés. Sinon séjour agréable. Merci.

This is a gem 💎. The guest house location is great. The rooms are very large and so very comfortable. The hostess was amazing and so helpful with finding places. An award winning restaurant next door and other 20 steps away. I can’t say enough of how much we enjoyed our stay. Absolutely loved it 💖

Posizione ottima per visitare Ribeira. Struttura accogliente, personale gentile e disponibile. Stanza spaziosa, comoda e pulita. Colazione essenziale ma completa. Manca l’ascensore, ma dovendo muoversi nei saliscendi del centro storico non può essere un problema. Super consigliata.

All was great, lovely welcome when checking in. 1 mix up with a girl who wouldn’t let us get breakfast at 7.45 when we had arranged with the lady the day before as we were going on a trip. But lovely stay.
June, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cale Guest House is a heritage property with many stairs. We knew this prior to staying, but still a lot of climbing. The amenities were simple, yet met our needs. The staff were great, the rooms tidy and clean and beds were absolutely the best. Breakfast was quite adequate and tasty. The location near the river was ideal for dining, but crazy busy for the end of September. We enjoyed our stay.
