The accommodation seems to be a bespoke development with separate owner, guest and manager rooms. A very relaxed place to stay with impeccable attention to needs of guests. I booked this accommodation for my wife and I as I wanted to show her the sunset from the beach at Cidade Velha. I had been to Cidade Velha once before, though never stayed. We wanted to explore this historic village. We spent two nights here at Cactus. I was in touch with the host prior to arrival and they were happy to arrange a private taxi from the airport and purchase a bottle of wine and some beer. They set up a small table overlooking the rocks below so we could watch the sunset on our first night. Breakfast was excellent with fresh food and set on a table overlooking the pool. We were lucky as we were the only people staying these two nights. A lovely place and lovely people.
Casa Sodadi, a property with a terrace, is set in Praia, 800 metres from Praia de Gamboa, 1.4 km from Praia Negra, as well as 2.1 km from Praia de Prainha.
Offering quiet street views, Plateau Bedroom & Chambre - Praia Center 1 is an accommodation set in Praia, less than 1 km from Praia de Gamboa and a 15-minute walk from Praia Negra.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
The hotel is in a great location with great helpful owners who have created a lovely setting for the guests. The best thing about the hotel was its breakfast, it was our first place in Cape Verde, and the best breakfast we had of the whole trip.
Fantastic establishment. Spacious rooms, big beds. All areas very clean. Very pleasant and helpful host (friendly welcome, help with arranging taxi, etc.). Ideal for families - we enjoyed the pool and basket for basketball. Short walking distance to the center of Cidade Velha.
Our host was extremely friendly and helpful. When we arrived very late she drove us to a restaurant and picked us up after the meal. The following day we were able to use the room and the pool for the whole day until our late departure to the airport.
Jeida is very professional host, and the house is exceptional. Very clean, spotless, beautifully designed. It stands apart from the standard in Cape Verde. My Cape Verde story and pictures: linktr.ee/nomadicmind
The outdoor areas were nice, full of gorgeous plants and nice views. The breakfast area also looks quite charming.
There were some town festivities going on, so it was actually nice that the place was located a little off center (15-20min walk) because it was much more quiet at night.
Everything was perfect, Bruno is a great host! The apartment had all the amenities and everything was super clean. I did workout with the equipment Vila Concetta has for their guests. Views and location are beautiful and Bruno is a superb host, I highly recommend this place! Wish I can go back!
Bruno is a great host. The room was very nice, comfortable and clean. The premises are very pleasant just in front of a small and beautiful beach. The breakfast was really good. Walking distance from Cidade Velha. Loved the hammock.
Nice quiet place on the outskirts of Cidade Velha. Bruno was a great host, communication beforehand was smooth, he organized airport transfers for us and was extremly kind to give us a (very) late check out due to an evening flight out of Praia. The highlight of the accomodation is the terrace overlooking the ocean - a beautiful space to take the breakfast and perfect spot to enjoy the magnificent starry sky.
