Situated in Cidade Velha, Cactus Guest House offers beachfront accommodation 8.6 km from Jean Piaget University of Cape Verde and provides various facilities, such as a private beach area, pool with a view and a garden. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The guest house features pool views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. 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!
