Pousada Vassora

The charming Pousada Vassora is set on a ridge just outside Assomada.

It’s within driving distance from the Serra Malagueta National Park with its spectacular valleys and mountain peaks.

On a clear day, you can often see Maio and it’s a great place to watch the sunset over Fogo island. It is however reached by an unsurfaced road which can be difficult to negotiate when it’s raining but the owners will come down to pick you up if you struggle.

The owners are Jean and Julia, a French – Cape Verdean couple who live at the Pousada and provide delicious Cape Verdean/French/Portuguese inspired meals for guests using homegrown produce and fresh fish and meat from Assomada.  Everyone staying has their 2-course evening meal at the same time at a sociable communal dining table.

There are five rooms at the Pousada each with a different colour theme and furnished with luxurious bedding and cushions from France and stone floor tiles from Portugal.

WiFi is available in the dining room.
