Your Hosts

Fogo Islanders have a way of putting you instantly at ease. We have a love of place that is real and lived. To us, hospitality is the love of a stranger. We built our Inn to hold an atmosphere of fellowship, ease and care; your hosts are here to make you feel at home. 
We speak about ‘belonging to this place’. We hope you will come to feel this belonging as you experience how we have found meaning through living our lives here.
