Situated in Cidade Velha, 8.6 km from Jean Piaget University of Cape Verde, Cactus Guest House has a private beach area, parking on-site and rooms with free WiFi access. Located on the beachfront, this property has pool with a view, a garden and barbecue facilities. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Absolutely everything especially Mamadu, who looks after the house!!! For the very first time I was travelling on my own and I did enjoy every minute! House is absolutely beautiful with amazing views from the patio and sitting area which is pretty much at the swimming pool. There are so many plants around that you feel like in a jungle literally, but that my kind of house. Peace and quiet area ... except for the roosters, but I did love it as well, as brought me back to my childhood when I grow up in the village. And the most important factor why I did love this place so much is that I was on my own, so all house was to myself!!! Fortunately, Mamadu was there any time I did need anything!
