“Next time we are in Santiago, we are coming back here for sure!”
This is a little hidden gem that we stumbled across through luck. The rooms are basic but clean and perfectly functional. The staff were amazing though, going out of their way to make us feel welcome and helping with every aspect we asked for. The traditional breakfast is a must and expertly prepared. The veranda for breakfast was just perfect too as was the very relaxed nature of the whole place. We felt like family in just two nights.

The staff arranged an airport transfer for me and allowed me to check in later at night. The details about the airport transfer were very clear and detailed, including the licence plate number of the car i would be transferred in. Breakfast was good and the women in the kitchen were very kind and accommodating.

“Amazing host, lovely room with private balcony, delicious breakfast”
I loved everything. Ivaneida has been an angel with me. I nearly canceled my travel for different reasons that I shared with her before traveling and she contacted me on Whats App to give me the info that made me feel more confortable about everything. Comfy Room with private balcony, bathroom, air con, fridge, tv, tea. Delicious breakfast, traditional, in the patio. Very close beach of Kebra Canela, at less than 10min walk. And 25min walk from Prainha Beach. Restaurants near by and by the beach. Ivaneida made everything to make my travel as amazing as she is, arranging taxis for airport and Cidade Veilha and any help. The typical boss lady I admire. Thank you so much Ivaneida.

“I will definitely visit again!”
I highly recommended this house to everyone who wants to visit Praia. I love the capital and this cozy place makes me feel like home. This is a home away from home! Room is such clean and bright, with a lovely balcony and helpful AC. They offer local breakfast and fresh grand coffee. Just 15 minutes walk to the beach and Praia shopping mall! Don't miss the small local supermarkets and restaurants in the surrounding areas, you will like it! P.s. The lady staff is soooooo sweet and wonderful, love you so much!

“Relaxing for an overnight stay”
The breakfast was great and staff very friendly. The night porter showed us to a local restaurant with great live local music. Useful to have a pick up taxi from the port.
