“Fantastic chef that brings flair, sophistication and beautiful presentation to African/Cape Verdean inspired dishes.”
Fantastic chef that brings flair, sophistication and beautiful presentation to African/Cape Verdean inspired dishes. I had succulent and mouthwatering yellow fin tuna that I can still taste months later. Delicious is an understatement.

“Clean, modern and efficient.”
Delicious breakfast, cool rooms and quiet. Great communication from the hotel, who ordered taxis at the last minute, due to travel plan changes.

“Nice hotel close to the beach”
The hotel is very modern. The room was very spacious and the beds incredibly comfortable. The position is very good, close to the beach area of Praia, where one can find nice restaurants. We were suggested to call a taxi after dark, even for a short distance. No issue during the day. The breakfast in the morning was superb. The best in our 14 days in Cabo verde. We got to know that Maria Julia is a well known cook, but unfortunately the restaurant was closed when we were there. Such a pity!

All was perfect - thank you!!! - smooth check-in, check-out, helpfulness of everyone around (I felt like at home and very welcome), cleanliness of the room and also other areas, cosy rooms and the whole hotel, reception also provides the taxi service ordering, functional Wi-Fi - amazing breakfast (local, fresh, delicious, interesting, home-made - I had everyday different breakfast even though I stayed more than a week :), amazing restaurant (all meals I tasted were literally very experiential) - calm and nice location close to the beach as well as supermarket As a bonus, chef Maria Julia around with her kindness and professionality (not only in gastronomy) :) I hope to come again!

“The perfect alternative in Praia to the bigger 4/5 stars hotels!”
The owner is a professional TV cook. You could tell the food was special, had excellent taste, and was beautifully served. The owner has been an excellent host in the old sense, making connections to almost all guests.

Unfortunately only stayed one night, as I was traveling elsewhere - but staying here gave me the chance to really relax and prepare for my travel. The bed was comfortable and the room clean and spacious. Breakfast was great as well is the restaurant itself. I had the honor to meet the owner and she told me about this project - as this hotel is more than just comfortable rooms with a bed! (google all the info) Keep an eye on this hotel and come and support :)

The property is very modern, with great design and very clean. Outstanding attention to customers. We returned here a few days after our stay and asked to keep our luggages for the afternoon and they let us do that free of charge. Breakfast was amazing and rich, and they serve dinner too with many options.

“Great value for money, peaceful sleep and wonderful people!”
Clean, modern, great location nearby the beach with easy parking and next to an awesome gym and the promenade with options to do CrossFit. For me, the best food on the island due to vegan and healthy, microbiotic food and lovely staff. The food is pricier than elsewhere, but worth it.

“Beautiful contemporary hotel with personalised service”
Maria Julia was very attentive and made us bespoke foods for breakfast that was accommodating for vegans. Excellent coffee. Beautiful hotel with a lot of potential - it isn't quite finished yet with lots of spaces yet to be utilised but it's going to be really lovely once it's complete. The rooms were spacious, comfortable with blackout curtains.

Huge room with comfortable beds. The bathroom was great. 1km to Kebra Beach, my favourite beach in Praia. Maria Júlia is friendly and a great host. Breakfast was the best we had in two weeks in Cape Verde, she offered so many things that she just cooked for us on demand - in addition to the buffet. The restaurant is also good for dinner, our pumpkin - sweet potato soup was excellent.
