Unbeatable price for what you get, I would definetly stay again. Owner went out of his way to make my stay comfortable.

Located in Praia, 700 metres from Praia de Gamboa and 1 km from Praia Negra, Techas City Center Luxurious Suite offers air conditioning. A hot tub is available for guests.

The apartment is in an excellent location close to the older part of the town where there is a park, banks, shops, bakeries and lots of restaurants. During the day, outside the apartment is quite busy as it is opposite the post office, but after 6pm there are lot of free spaces to park a car. We tended to stay out until this time then park our hire car and pay for a couple of hours in the morning while we ate breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, the restaurant below the apartment is really good and Gabriela cooks wonderful healthy meals which are either vegetarian or vegan - she even made me a birthday cake on request! We didn't find the restaurant at all noisy in the evenings and in fact slept extremely well. The apartment is just right to make yourself feel at home for a week. The only source of hot water is in the shower but it is consistent. There were plenty of towels. We didn't try the oven or gas hob as we preferred to eat out. Syd, the host/owner was very helpful and friendly. She organised a taxi to and from the airport which saved us being mobbed by the usual taxi touts. It was great that we were able to message her at any time on WhatApp if we had a problem. She also has a restaurant in another part of town, although we didn't discover this until the last day and so didn't get the chance to try it. Overall an excellent place to stay and I would recommend it.

Situated in Cidade Velha, Cactus Guest House offers beachfront accommodation 8.6 km from Jean Piaget University of Cape Verde and provides various facilities, such as a private beach area, pool with a...

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!

    Really great, very comfortable apartment in quiet and safe area of Praia. Tony was truly fantastic host. He was always available on WhatsApp, we felt in his company like he was our best friend. I warmly recommend his apartment to anyone who wants to spend the night in Praia.

    Perfect location to visit Praia and the island, and you can't have better price/value ratio. The rooms are spotlessly clean, and there is AC and very good wifi. I actually found the rooms surprisingly quiet for such a central location. The ladies managing the place are super nice and flexible. As a female solo traveller, I also felt very safe. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse.

    Claudia, our host, was there to welcome us. She's charming, but speaks neither English nor French, and unfortunately we don't speak Portuguese. Fortunately, our stay only lasted 1 night.

    Great position in the center of the most hip street in Praia's plateau. Very good comunication during the previous days, the host was kind enough to wait for us to change money the day after. Has a cheaper than average and very friendly paid shuttle that was great for transfer to and from the airport.

    This is a new place on booking.com, and we were the first guests. The kitchen is very well equipped, and there is a lot of space. One bedroom was already equipped with an AC, the second room was in preparation (they provided a fan which was sufficient). There is also an AC in the main room. Patrick was a great host, extremely nice & helpful, thanks a lot! The location is fantastic, right in the center. I can happily recommend that place!
