We really appreciated Cino our host, who gave us a lot of tips about where to go eat and how to best explore the island. We can only recommend him and his business.

The property features mountain views and is 300 metres from Jaime Mota Barracks and 400 metres from Praia Presidential Palace.

We stayed only for one night as we had another flight early in the morning. The host, Maria is extremely polite and friendly. Even though she says she doesn’t speak English very well, there were 0 issues whatsoever in terms of communication. Overall a great place to lay your head down for a few days or even a week.

The location was good and safe. Close to the beach and also Plateau was just a 30min walk or short taxi ride away. Can highly recommend a stay here!
