    The outdoor areas were nice, full of gorgeous plants and nice views. The breakfast area also looks quite charming. There were some town festivities going on, so it was actually nice that the place was located a little off center (15-20min walk) because it was much more quiet at night.

    Bruno is a great host. The room was very nice, comfortable and clean. The premises are very pleasant just in front of a small and beautiful beach. The breakfast was really good. Walking distance from Cidade Velha. Loved the hammock.

    Nice quiet place on the outskirts of Cidade Velha. Bruno was a great host, communication beforehand was smooth, he organized airport transfers for us and was extremly kind to give us a (very) late check out due to an evening flight out of Praia. The highlight of the accomodation is the terrace overlooking the ocean - a beautiful space to take the breakfast and perfect spot to enjoy the magnificent starry sky.
