Very nice place, restaurant directly at the sea..can only recommend

Authentic village life at its best! Tugged away from the rest of the world, Ja opened a room of her ancestor's home to guests who would like to experience what it's like to live in Cape Verdian raw country side - which includes being offline, taking cold showers with a bucket and a mug, sleeping in pin drop silence (apart from the roosters), walking in the steep hills, etc. One can go with a shared taxi until the roundabout of Sao Domingos. From there, a local can come and pick you up for 300 ESC, or you can walk (it's absolutely safe, the locals are friendly and helpful, location on the map is accurate). They can also drop you to the airport for 1500 ESC, and it just takes 30mins to reach. Ja knows how to cook for vegetarians, too. She is a witty and interesting host to talk to. I am still amazed at the purity and simplicity of this place, and hope to be back one day.

Everything was perfect!!! No hesitations to have if you want to come here. We just want to thank you, Carlos and Djamila. ❤️ With no doubt, the best hosts in the whole world, so helpful and accommodating. People with a big heart, we considerate you like our family now!!! Hard to say goodbye! Take care ! Hope we will see each other again.

Every day a sumptuous breakfast was prepared before my eyes with an abundance of fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices, coffee and tea as well. Tap water comes from a local well and is delivered by a community distribution system. It is not treated with any chemicals and tastes very well. The water seems to be relatively soft insofar I can judge that from showering. The nature of the location and the community (of about 15,000 inhabitants) is such that everything you may need is only a short walk away including transportation, banking, food supplies, restaurants, barber shop, travel agency, you name it. The sea and beach are also close-by at about a 10 minute walk. Everything is extremely reasonably priced. The climate is truly fabulous and exceptionally mild and pleasant, typically 21 min to 27 max degr. Celsius, without ever any need for AC or even a fan at my location and facility, if you can open your windows the beneficial sea breeze will be your comfort supplier. No bugs to speak of cause any discomforts...just kill one tiny mosquito and you're good. My windows remained open every day of my stay, screens or not. The island of Santiago has a very good infrastructure with stable Internet and electricity supplies. Roads are well paved and free of potholes. Animals can stray onto the road which requires extra caution after darkness, I imagine, I just didn't try. The local marketing around the area of the hotel provides a very lively and enjoyable atmosphere. There's public/private transportation available in different modalities and prices, but the excellent taxis, mostly electric, the top of the cream, are still not expensive for European or American standards, but much cheaper comfortable buses can be had. Local people are open, helpful and communicative without ever bothering you with anything. No pushy selling for instance. The same goes for the children, they are adorable but don't ever bother you because you are a stranger.

Beautiful pool overlooking island and docks. Huge bed in brand new hotel. Food very good.

nice clean hotel camilla did a great job with dinner breakfast was very good real good bed friendly staff

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The staff was exceptionally kind and always went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The beautiful facility, delicious food, impeccable cleanliness, and spacious rooms exceeded our expectations. Our stay was truly made unforgettable by their outstanding service. Highly recommended!

After 2 weeks on Santiago this is the only place I genuinely would recommend. First of all, the location. The famous Plateau is good only for a very short visit. This area is much nicer, safer, more relaxed. There are a lot of beautiful and colorful houses around, as well as many really nice restaurants / bars and the central beach (which is really good!) - all within 15 min walk max. The owner of the hotel really pays attention to every single detail. The staff is not just friendly, they are also very professional and truly understand what does it mean to work in HoReCa (which is rarely the case on Santiago unfortunately!) My stay was super comfortable and I appreciated that everyone was going above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and relaxed. I was very touched when I didn’t feel too well and the owner made sure to constantly check on me and provide me with everything and anything needed. The restaurant and bar by the hotel are very nice as well, overall it felt like a very fair value for money and I wish I’d make this place my main base during my trip.

We had a fabulous three days stay here. The rooms were very comfortable with lovely views from the balconies. we enjoyed walking in the surrounding hills. We had excellent massage on site. The staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant is excellent with a delicious buffet supper and a pleasant breakfast.
