Luxury for a low price
Pros:

Best described as "budget luxury". Breakfast and other services were execeptional. The apartment had a lot of space and nice amenities. The #1 in Tarrafal.

Pros:

Our room had a balcony with a view of the bay and the mountain, perfect when getting up or relaxing in the evening. The old-style furniture matches the photos.

Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal a coté de la plage avec 2 jeunes enfants, le personnel très gentil et attentionné, le ménage est fait le matin. L'appartement est très bien équipé mais...

Cons:

Les matelas 1 personne devraient vraiment être remplacés.

Great value hotel with friendly staff well-integrated into the local community
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, and the location is very convenient. The rooms were impeccably clean. The owner is well-connected locally, which facilitated pursuing the activities that brought me to São Nicolau. Edu's taxi service is especially good: he speaks good English and is very knowledgeable about the island.

Cons:

The breakfast was rather expensive at ten euros a day, and the charge for using a credit card was too high.

Pros:

Liegt direkt am schwarzen Strand. Das Personal war sehr nett. Frühstück konnte man für 6 Euro zubuchen. Man sitzt auf der Dachterrasse und kommt mit den anderen Gästen ins Gespräch. Das Appartement wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Bezahlung ist in Escudos oder Euro möglich. Sogar mit Visacard mit 10 Euro Gebühr. Es gibt auch einen Wäscheservice, eine Maschine voll kostet 10 Euro. Praktisch, wenn man mit kleinem Gepäck reist

Cons:

Das Bett hat leider bei jeder Bewegung geknarrt. Eine Wäscheleine auf dem Balkon wäre praktisch
