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.

Super friendly, responsive and helpful host! We stayed several times during our trip on Cape Verde and lived in all the three rooms. Two of the rooms have a very nice view on the sea. The location is very good - close to the center but quiet in the night. Coffee and local liqours are available on the ground floor that is very lovely. No breakfast, but you can have it in a nearby cafe, and it is tasty and at a reasonable price

Definetly, the place to stay in Plateau. Safe and clean despite what people might think. All the main amenities, services, transport in walking distance. Only one block away from the main pedestrian street where many restaurants and live street music life happens. Quiet locatiom while in the center. Highly recommended and the owner Cinthia and te hosts are very kind to make you feel at home.

This is a simple guesthouse but it has everything enough for a pleasant stay. Great location, view of the sea direct from the balcony (take a room with the sea view!) and sleeping with the sound of waves. A few steps to the beach and Tarrafal's central square. Nice, clean and well-ventilated room. Some previous guests complained about lack of glass in windows but we found wooden shutters perfectly OK and even when closed they let a lot of daylight. Breakfast included i.a. fresh papaya and was served on the roof terrace, with great views.
