Super modern apartment with an astonishing view. The sun rises right over the ocean every morning, you can see it from the bed :) Can NOT confirm the negative reviews about the kitchen, our apartment had everything you need for (simple) cooking. The host is very friendly and helpful (best if you speak french :) the village is very small and mainly focused on the beach, which makes it cosy and quiet. Highly 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.

The location is very nice, good beach view and aesthetically pleasing.

The staff, the location, the design…

The property is very modern, with great design and very clean. Outstanding attention to customers. We returned here a few days after our stay and asked to keep our luggages for the afternoon and they let us do that free of charge. Breakfast was amazing and rich, and they serve dinner too with many options.

Far from civilization, access via a winding, scenic road. We asked in the town downstairs which street to turn into. Rooms with a terrace and a wonderful view of the island. Modestly, but cleanly. The food was in the form of a buffet, which we liked. We woke up in the clouds this morning! They passed

Location and very friendly staff
