Ildo and Suelly
Our home is a Family Bed and Breakfast!!! A perfect Homestay with all the tips to help you plan your stay. If you're traveling alone we are what you're looking for. Truly right in the center of Praia, Plateau. There are many places of interest just footsteps away. bnb_ithop @gmail.com It is a typical Capeverdean home. It's been in the family for more than 60 years and we live onsite. The house has 5 guest rooms. We provide small tours/experiences, car rental, breakfast, dinner, Capeverdean Brunch (all at low cost), laundry service, drinks, and so on. You'll find information about breakfast, tours, experience, car rental, and more. The home amenities are basic, but all the essentials are here. It is a safe and pleasant location.
Family of three, two dogs and two kittens, all friendly animals. I (Suelly) am an English teacher and student at the university, I am home mostly late afternoons. Our daughter is super friendly, and always looking to play. Ildo (my partner) is a personal trainer at the sports pavilion. He enjoys anything that involves sports. We both worked in tourism. We are always practicing languages and enjoy learning as we converse with our guests. It's an enormous pleasure for us to host and we will try our very best to help you with planning your stay. We are used to meeting people from all over the world as we both worked in a hostel before, and we love what we do. We look forward to meeting you!
You can easily get around the neighborhood, you can walk from the house to most places. There are a few museums close by, the municipal market is 2mn away, a travel agency in front and Sucupira market 7mn. You can walk to Prainha or Kebra Kanela beach is about 20mn walk. Public transportation is near by and taxis also. If you rent out a car, parking is paid from Mon - Fri, 8:00 - 19:00 or 20:00, Sat 8:00 - 13:00. Free on Sundays and Holidays. Plateau is safe, but like most places have special attention wandering alone at night.
