Family hotels and homes in Tarrafal

It’s a very nice b&b with good facilities, and quite steady internet. The breakfast was decent with loads of choice and some homemade cakes

Fantastic property, very modern, has everything what can be needed and more. Super friendly host. I would def be booking this place again.

Very big, close to beach, all you need, rooftop terrace

The location of the hotel is great, the personal is very kind and the relation price-quality is also very good.

Amazing view, food was excellent and the rooms are super cosy! Very nice place for hikes around!

Good location. Relaxed athmosphere

The host is very friendly, apartment is nice, modern and clean and the location is good.

We stayed both in Villa Alegria as in Casa Alegria which both have their own charms. We preferred the casa because of the roof terrace and we liked the rooms a bit more BUT no worries if you book for the Villa, this one is nice as well ;-) The host, Irene, well what can i say...she's like a walking travel agency and has a superb netwerk all over the island. If you need things to be done, she will make it happen. Some ex: - Hiking in the Serra Malagueta (you can choose your own hike): she arranged a very reliable French/English/Portuguse speaking guide who has an incredible knowledge of the island. It seemed like he knew everyone where we came. His name Silvio. If you want to do something here, ask for him. PS: you can hike in the Serra alone, but with a guide you will go to places that you will not see on your own. - Arranging private transport: always reliable, English speaking persons with a normal driving style :-) - Arranging transport to other islands. It's not easy to get things done here. CVInterilhas website is not stable and Irene knows how to get you things done. - Tips for restaurant, food,..all spot on. We enjoyed the food here every day. - Problems of other kind? Irene will try to help you via her network. Her husband grew up here so things can be arranged a lot easier. - Transport to the airport, Irene. Aluguer is of course an option but you don't want to arrive late for you plane or ferry... Breakfast in both locations is in buffet style and is all you need: coffee/tea, 3 styles of cold drinks, milk and cereals, cheese/ham/salami, breads, eggs (boiled and mirror), fruits like banana, papaya, apples,...all you need. Location: quiet area, few 100m away from beach and restaurants. The best of both worlds ;-) Rooms: we stayed in 3 different rooms. One advise, take a room with airco. All rooms were spacy, clean and a lot of options. Fridge filled with free alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Island Santiago is definitelly worth visiting. We spent few days in Sal but Santiago is so much different and authentic. Casa Strela is wonderful place to stay, it has a great vibe. Perfect and friendly staff will even make it more genuine for you. I would like to mention the delicious food, great choice of fish dishes and super cocktails dobe by Ariana and Jonathan. Will be defo back.

Studio with large private terrace and sun loungers sheltered from the wind. A good place to rest after diving at the neighboring base. Gas stove with equipment on the terrace. No need to wait in the restaurant (20 minutes waiting for the card, modest choice) No TV - plus or minus? WiFi good.
