Luckily Fernanda, the host, was so nice to let us in in the middle of the night. She was our hero. She also helped us with other things like renting a car. Besides that she shows us the city. The house was very clean with enough equipment (to make for example coffee) and it´s located good. It´s close to supermarket, bank, etc. We had a good stay and we highly recomend it!

EXCEEDINGLY HORRIBLE

Reviewed By LakeDistrictTruth

On entering the property it was dark dingy, smelly and everything you touched was damp and grimey. The cooking, eating utensils had to be washed before use. The photos must of been taken when new for they did not represent the property I found. Most of the facilities that were on offer when I booked could not be found on arrival. Needless to say we only stayed 40 hours. Shower drain blocked causing water to flood the floor, one toilet had no seat and unable to flush, no lights in the hallway, no lights on access stair case so we had to grope up four flights of stairs in total darkness. We had power failures with no emergency lighting. I have seen more acceptable pig sty's. Looking back I wonder if my insurance would have covered this property with no lights, sockets hanging off and junction boxes with no cover. I am unable to understand why Tripadvisoe and Homeaway allow the owner of the property to molest their web-sites with such a horrible property. Having stayed and booked property over the years this is the worst property I have ever visited. I am not a fantasy writer. These are the true facts about this property. I am awaiting a refund with little hope of ever recieving

Syd's Guesthouse

More than a perfect deal

Reviewed By Chiara B

Our stay at Syd's Guesthouse was simply wonderful: the location is very convenient, far from the crowd but close to bars, restaurants and the city beaches; the place is super clean and essentially furbished yet with amazing taste; home-made breakfast is just over the top; the staff is truly kind and helpful. When we needed advice and suggestions, Syd was there to give her best recommendations; the only one time in 7 days that we had an issue, they were there too to promptly fix it.

B&B Vivenda Viviani

So great but a big inconvenience

Reviewed By 8Ignacio8

We stayed two nights. The place is located in a quiet safe area, a bit far from the city centre by walk (you need to take a taxi). The B&B was clean, so beautiful, tidy, the breakfast was an aweasome buffet and the owners are super kind and friendly! They really help us to decide where to go around the island. However, there was quite a big problem that makes us feel a bit uncomfortable: shower water was cold and there was something broken that allows water to spread out in the bathroom while we were having shower. We reported this issue but unfortunately they didn't do anything or at least gave any feedback or alternative. On the other hand we left really early for the airport and they let us some breakfeast, that was a really good point. It would be such a great accommodation, wasn't it for the issue with the shower.

The Sol Marina Hotel offers spacious rooms all with balconies. A large terrace overlooking the sea is available to customers throughout the day. Breakfast (included in the room price) is served, allowing to start the day in serenity and wonderment.

Really essential room but good price

Reviewed By christian f

Budget hotel in excellent position (in front of the beach). It serves a good and abundant breakfast on the "roof terrace". The biggest problem is the lackness of hot water: there are boilers where you could warm up the water for your shower. Bed is comfortable and room is clean. A quite good option if you don't want to spend a lot.

Miradouro de Gamboa

Good value for money

Reviewed By yesty_90

Very nice hotel, in the middle between Achada de S Antonio, Prainha and Plateau. Good position! The seaview from the hotel is wonderful and so is the breakfast. Clean and nice room. A bit noisy, but it's not hotel's fault. Friendly staff, but not everyone speaks english. Reccomended!

Nice and cozy accommodation, owners make you feel like home!

Reviewed By I9054BUthomasl

We arrived mid day to Praia with a ferry and had a flight the following night. Instead of carrying around the luggage we decided to get a room in Cidade Velha and we’re glad we did! Staying there is a lot nicer than in the capital and Maria and her husband make you feel like home. The room is basic but private and clean and they have a beautiful, flower covered terrace with sea view. They were very flexible with our early check-in and our check-out in the middle of the night, prepared breakfast sandwiches for us and ordered a taxi. If you are willing to accept the slightly higher taxi price to get out of Praia you should definitely consider staying with this very kind couple!
