2 Bedroom Apartment in Tarrafal

LeaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

After we had to leave another apartment at short notice, we were very warmly welcomed by Tina in the apartment. Tina showed us around right away. The apartment was impeccably clean and the kitchen was also equipped with everything necessary. Tina came after 2 nights to check on things and ask if we needed anything. Since our daughter was sick at the time, she drove us to the hospital without further ado and took care of our daughter in a touching way ❤️ We are very grateful for the stay in the apartment. Tina is super sweet and despite the fact that we don't speak Spanish, she took care of us in a touching way. We can only recommend the apartment!
