Perfect stay!

We had a perfect stay during our three days! Linda, the host and owner, went way above and beyond to make us feel at home, including giving us some great tips on what to see and where to eat in Cidade Velha (don’t miss Batuku!!). Nice pool, good wifi and great breakfast at the hotel.

Very helpful and responsive

The communication with them beforehand. We due to arrive in the early hours of the morning and they were very responsive in the days leading up to our arrival giving us detail on what we’d need to do, and recommendations on car rentals for once we arrived. Unfortunately due to issues with the ferry we had to change our plans and were unable to stay - so the rating is to reflect the helpfulness and communications.

Wonderful place with amazing hosts

What a beautiful place and location. Great appartment, amazing swimming pool and extensive breakfast (with homemade bread). The balcony is also a plus to enjoy fresh air in the evening. But most of all the hosts were wonderful. Thank you so much Lynda and Jorge for your service and support. We felt very welcome in your fantastic guesthouse. We definitely recommended to stay some days here if you are in Santiago.

Expectations exceeded

Fantastic hospitality- owners went above and beyond what’s expected of hosts. Linda provided delicious breakfasts - homemade hibiscus and passion fruit drinks and bread. Breakfast was accompanied by blues and fado music on the terrace! Had delicious home cooked dinner twice. The best we’ve had in CV! Despite the sometimes strong wind it was relaxing to lounge by the pool and the beers offered were appreciated! Look out for the visiting kingfisher(s)! Their shrubs and plants are beautiful. We were taken by George on a complimentary coastal tour to Porto Mosquito - an unique village nearby. It’s a 10-15 minute walk to Cidade Velha, its sights and few good restaurants.

This is a very nice place to stay nearby Cidade Velha. The property is very well maintained and all the staff is very friendly, it is a bit of a family feeling after a few days. Plenty of space to park, our checkin and checkout were fast and easy. The rooms are very spacious and have private balconies with a very nice view on the ocean. Breakfast is great. The property is located very close to Cidade Velha, a short drive or 15min walk. Very recommended.
