Homestays in Sal Rei

We loved Guest House Orquidea, and Orquidea, the owner, was lovely. We traveled around Cabo Verde for about 2 weeks and this was our favorite place. A little pricier than other places we stayed but worth it. The breakfast is in a beautiful courtyard and breakfast is fruit, eggs, cheese, yogurt, bread, etc. Orquidea gave us good tips for traveling around. The property is very close to the beach but also conveniently located to restaurants in town. The room was nicely decorated, clean, and had a beautiful ocean view. Our balcony had 2 hammocks for relaxing and indeed we did relax. My husband and I are pretty laid back and aren't into resorts or luxury hotels. We prefer smaller more personable places. I would say Guest House Orquidea falls into the category of boutique guest house. It was the perfect setting for us for the end of our honeymoon. We were able to unwind and enjoy. I truly enjoyed speaking with Orquidea and her cousin. They were so warm and friendly. I really hope we get to visit Cabo Verde again in the future. If we do, we will definitely stay at Orquidea.

Nice apartment directly at the beach, with full sea view, quality furnished, with nice garden. Everything in good shape or even brand new constructed with a focus on maximum privacy (curtains, shades, minimum view to neighbouring apartments). Very kind staff and crew. Moreover 24/7 power, internet and water supply.
