Residencial BigassoSuites & One-Bedroom Apartment · São Tomé

A Small Independent Property in São Tomé

Residencial Bigasso has just four accommodation units: two Suites, one larger Master Suite and a one-bedroom apartment.

All four are air-conditioned. The upstairs rooms have private bathrooms, televisions and desks, while the ground-floor apartment adds a separate living room and two bathrooms.

We have visited Bigasso ourselves, and the room information here is based on the property we have seen and details confirmed directly with the owner.

The Setting

Bigasso is on a quiet side street around an eight-minute walk from the centre of São Tomé.

That puts restaurants, shops and the centre of the capital within easy reach, without placing you directly on one of the busier city streets.

The property itself is small, with three rooms upstairs and the one-bedroom apartment on the ground floor.

The Property & Feel

Bigasso has more of a private residential feel than a conventional hotel.

The two Suites are designed for one or two guests. The Master Suite is larger and can accommodate a third guest using the sofa bed. Downstairs, the apartment gives two guests a bedroom, separate living room and two bathrooms.

The result is a choice between a private room and something closer to having your own small apartment in São Tomé.

Breakfast

Breakfast is available on request.

It includes coffee, butter, eggs and local fruit.

Stay in the City, Explore the Island

Bigasso works equally well for a few days in the capital or as a base for exploring elsewhere on São Tomé.

You can spend time in the city, then head north, south or inland without needing to stay at a resort outside the capital.
