The units have a fully equipped kitchen with dining area, an oven, coffee machine, and a microwave. Free WiFi is accessible to all guests, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. At the guest house, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Alcino is very friendly and helpful, whenever I sent him a message, he responded very fast. We liked this big house, we were feeling like at home, it's close to the beach, to the center of the town, to the diving center, to the restaurant, only 5 to 10 minutes walk to most of the places. If someday I'd come again to Tarrafal, I'm sure I'd come to this accommodation again!

We stayed only for one night as we had another flight early in the morning. The host, Maria is extremely polite and friendly. Even though she says she doesn’t speak English very well, there were 0 issues whatsoever in terms of communication. Overall a great place to lay your head down for a few days or even a week.
