Self Catering Accommodation in Tarrafal

Nelly and her husband are super friendly and helpful. The accommodation is very spacious, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The large terraces do not belong directly to the accommodation but can be used as well, just like the washing machine. The bed was very comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. We felt very comfortable and recommend this stay.

We loved the location right at the bay with a nice balcony to observe the daily live. You can sit there for hours and not get bored. Our host was a very nice guy who takes good care of his guests. He also arranged a good rental car to explore the island as he had a car rental business too so that is pretty convenient. Sao Nicolau is a fantastic place to visit, the locals are extremely friendly.

Central, quiet, walking distance to everything in town, including beach, shopping, harbour - all.

Not only the location right on the waterfront is excellent, local life is happening right around you. People gather at different times of the day to catch fish, clean it, prepare tools, meet to chat or simply sit quietly (without smart-phones, nice). The peace all around is a blessing. There's an improvised miniature chicken farm right around the corner (five roosters make themselves heard :) Two little shops 5 minutes away provide the basics and sometimes even fresh veggies. For 'night-life' there is a funky bar nearby with music, where you can sit outside and sample various home made drinks and temperaments. The kitchen is well equipped and I found rice, sugar etc. at my disposal. On festive days, Regina opens her little food stall in front of the house and neighbors come together. Regina is an energetic, cool and thoroughly helpful landlady.

We had a fantastic stay at Mezzanino Ribeira Brava! The apartment was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet still within walking distance to the town center and restaurants. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, always available if we had any questions or needed advice. We especially appreciated the stylish interior and the calm atmosphere of the place. It was the perfect base to explore the island, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
