With mountain views, Dunas De Areia Preta is located in Ribeira da Prata and has a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk, bar, garden, children's playground and picnic area. With sea views, this accommodation offers a balcony. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service. Very nice hotel, located a few kilometers away from Tarrafal and the playas. It is in a small village, very quiet and with ocean views. The appartment was really clean, and very well furnished. Many items in the kitchen, 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds and 4 balconies! The breakfast is amazing (we were only eating breakfast and in the evening, as the breakfast was really generous), and the lady serving it and doing housekeeping is so nice.

Sucupira Market is 40 km from the homestay, while Ethnography Museum is 40 km away. Nelson Mandela International Airport is 40 km from the property. A nice view from a spacious balcony, beautiful interior and gorgeous paintings on the wall. It was fascinating to stay here for one night in our trip through the island. Apart of that, we got the receipt and tasting of craft grog drink which is so good.

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. The house is so beautiful! The location is great, although the surrounding area (streets) is still under construction so it can be rough terrain to walk through to the main village if you are not able to walk well. Spectaculair view of the sea and the waves crashing on the rocky coast. Breathtaking! House is clean and well maintained. Garden too. Multiple rooms are rented out and you share the kitchen, living room and outside area with swimming pool. The coast in town has a little beach but is more a place where the locals put there fishing boats in the water. Sometimes someone swims there and that is possible but it is dark brown beach sand and quite big waves, so we didn’t swim in the sea there. If you rent a car somewhere you would be able to visit other places in the island from Cidade Velha. Staff very friendly and stay out of your way. We didn’t take the breakfast, but there is the possibility. The caretaker showed us the way to the village and the small supermarket shops for some groceries. There isn’t much available, but Praia is very close by (you can take a local white transportation van for only a euro into Praia on the main road) and it is a very nice place to stay away from the big town. We stayed in multiple places in Santiago and thought this was the most beautiful location to stay in the island.

KAZARÃO DI MAVETE- Guesthouse is a beachfront property set in Praia, 200 metres from Justice Palace and 300 metres from Jaime Mota Barracks. The property has mountain and garden views, and is 1.1 km from Praia Negra. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. I like the joy and good mood of the owner. And he is kind. He makes sure that the place is clean all the time. You really feel at home. I also like the welcoming drink and Nespresso in the living room. Eddy, you are the best.
