Spacious villa with gorgeous ocean view in Maio

AlanRating, 5 stars2 months ago

VERY NICE HOUSE!! FERDINAND was an amazing host - but does not live in Cabo Verde. Beautiful views from the house and terrace .. Very tastefully decorated ... BUT ... the Airbnb photo is misleading. there is NO beach in front of the house. Also no bottled water when arrive. the shower needs a LOT of improvement.

I don’t know where to start because I was completely taken back by how beautiful and spacious the place was. I don’t mean just beautiful in a way as though I’m surprised by the location. I’m saying beautiful because I was just in love with seeing Tina‘s place which was so beautiful marble floors and the Airbnb I stayed in was very very nice and had plenty of space for a small family with multiple children. I had so much space that I didn’t know what to do with it all to be honest.. Ricardo and Tina are amazing! Tina even offered us dinner, which warmed my heart because, dinner wasn’t something that I didn’t expect at all. Everything was very modern and up-to-date. Tina familiarize me with all the places in the area, which was extremely helpful arranged taxi service for us. As far as the location goes, it is absolutely perfect for beach goers. I even extended my stay and show to not go to my next location. That’s how much I enjoyed it. I highly recommend to stay here! I will stay again

Casa Aloé Vera - Private House w/ free Breakfast

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We were so glad we chose Casa Aloé Vera for our stay in Santiago - it was the perfect place to explore the island from. We loved eating Vany's delicious breakfasts watching the local birds from the veranda in the morning - the kingfishers are beautiful! The cottage is in a great location, just a 15-20 minute walk to Cidade Velha where there are some good restaurants and the fantastic UNESCO sights to explore. Inside the house itself is really homely, with everything you'd need to make your stay comfortable. Sonia was very communicative and even helped us find a travel agent to help with internal flight before we'd even. We'd love to return one day to this little spot of paradise.

A dining area is furnished with a wooden table surrounded by six matching chairs. A cabinet holds dinnerware, and a large window dressed in yellow curtains allows natural light to fill the space. Kitchen appliances are visible in the background.

House with 3 bedrooms, Achada São Filipe, Praia

AlizéeRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great place to stay for several days or weeks in Praia. Very easy to get around thanks to the minibuses (hiace or hilux) that pass by one minute from the house. The space is spacious, great value for money and delighted to participate in the SOS Children's Village association project!

Mamalo pool, nature and calm, Wi-Fi, bikes

EmilieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Bernard and Valerie were very hopitable, kind and friendly with amazing tips about what to do in the island. When Bernard learned we liked birds, he went out of his way to take us around good spots for watching them. We were lucky to be there for Christmas and were invited to a great party in the village with their friends. When our flight was delayed they were helpful and flexible for us to find solutions. The house is quiet, comfortable and well equipped, a pleasure to cook in. Highlighted for us were the sunset views from the rooftop, riding the electric bikes to a deserted beach, really sweet dogs, resting by the pool and closeness Bernard and Valerie have to their neighbors in the village.

Kebra Kanela duplex: 3 min walk to the beach

FannieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Great place! All the necessary equipment for a very comfortable holiday. The location is perfect: a short walk to the beach and right next to many restaurants/ bars. (A little noisy in the evening for the room located on the street side, so). The center of Praia can be reached in 5/10 minutes by taxi. Highly responsive host. I highly recommend it!

Tiny house in Ribeira Principal

NikolausRating, 5 stars1 week ago

All the laudatory comments of previous visitors are true and there is not much to add. This unique valley has so much to offer, if you are interested in Landscape, Plants, Geology, Hiking, People… Some physical fitness is helpful. My tip: a two nights stay might not be enough to explore. Another plus: the food offered by Iolanda and Johannes (a trained cook!) is exceptional and shouldn’t be missed under any pretext. Iolanda and Johannes are both outstanding hosts. WiFi can be spotty but the cellphone reception is very good so you might want to think about using your phone as a local hotspot, if urgently needed. Highly recommended!

A bright living area features natural light filtering through yellow curtains, illuminating wooden seating adorned with cushions. A glass coffee table sits at the center, and a vibrant wall art piece showcasing tribal figures adds a decorative touch. Potted plants enhance the inviting atmosphere.

I felt very comfortable in Maria De Fátima's house, everything was clean and corresponded to the photos. The shower has neat water pressure, the bed is comfortable and with mosquito net. As a small welcome, juice and water were even waiting for me in the fridge. Thank you in this way! Communication with Maria worked smoothly; if I'm in the area again, happy to come back!

Casa Pé di Polon - Holiday home with mountain view

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 52 reviews2 weeks ago

We had a lovely stay at this authentic little house in the Picos Valley. A peaceful place where simplicity reigns. In addition, Lina's little dishes delighted us. We discovered the traditional Cape Verdean cuisine. Lina is a discreet neighbor who cares about the well-being of hosts. Our children enjoyed accompanying her husband to feed the animals. In short, a place with a beautiful soul.

Cheerful home with pool!

StuartRating, 5 stars14 months ago

This is where you want to be! Pool large enough for short laps. The house is huge! Lucas' relatives are across the driveway and very helpful with issues. Expect some family activity, but other times completely quiet, and we had the pool to ourselves whenever we used it. Rental car needed.

Amazing. Very nice house, magnificent view, the pool is splendid and the private beach at the foot of the house is absolutely wonderful - 10 minutes' walk from the village beach - very friendly with its small bars - and 15 minutes from the sublime wild beach of Preta - the hospitality is very well managed - The team helped us get ferry tickets - an ideal place to rest in the sweetness of Maio Island.

Casita Solemar right on the Atlantic

RainerRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Andrea's place is very well located as it is a few 100m to the nearest supermarket as well as to the city beach a good quarter of an hour walk. The house has been lovingly built, the garden very green. Under the tree you can relax wonderfully in the shade. The barbecue invites you to fry fish and vegetables in the evening. The communication with Andrea went smoothly, there were very good tips and an answer to all questions. Clear recommendation!

A clear blue pool is framed by lush greenery and colorful plants, offering a serene outdoor space. Sunlight reflects off the water, enhancing the tranquil environment. A small seating area is visible nearby, providing a place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Very nice spacious villa, very responsive and available host, in a quiet residential area and accessible amenities, 10 minutes walk from the beach. Also, the air conditioning in each room, and the cozy outdoor area with very clean pool are very nice.

A serene view overlooking the Atlantic Ocean stretches across the horizon. The infinity pool, with its clear blue water, appears to merge with the sea beyond. Natural greenery and a stone edge frame the scene, creating a tranquil outdoor setting.

Villa 300 m2 sea view pool near beaches .

RonanRating, 5 stars11 months ago

Very beautiful and large house, very comfortable, with an amazing view, a peaceful terrace and nickel rooms. Close to the center, on foot. A big thank you to Mirtes, our host, edy, the driver and Vanusa, the cook who really took care of us. nothing to say. Thank you very much. Small downside for the extremely noisy water pump as soon as we use water. and for the pool that deserves a good maintenance. We recommend it.

The image shows a serene infinity pool overlooking the ocean, with sun loungers placed nearby. The surrounding stone terrace features a variety of tropical plants and flowers, contributing to a tranquil outdoor setting. The clear blue water meets the horizon, highlighting the coastal beauty.
