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!

Plateau Bedroom & Chambre - Praia Center 1, hotel in Cidade Velha

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.

All we used the room for was somewhere to dump bags for the evening and to have a shower after travelling from Tarrafel before our middle of the night departure from Praia to Lisbon. It was fine for that.

    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.

    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.

    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.
