House vacation rentals in Santiago

We were so glad we chose Casa Aloé Vera for our stay in Santiago - it was the perfect place to explore the island from. We loved eating Vany's delicious breakfasts watching the local birds from the veranda in the morning - the kingfishers are beautiful! The cottage is in a great location, just a 15-20 minute walk to Cidade Velha where there are some good restaurants and the fantastic UNESCO sights to explore. Inside the house itself is really homely, with everything you'd need to make your stay comfortable. Sonia was very communicative and even helped us find a travel agent to help with internal flight before we'd even. We'd love to return one day to this little spot of paradise.

great house and reactive host. pool and house are clean. kitchen with everything you need to cook. the house itself is perfect. the only negative I could say is, if you are a light sleeper you could be bothered by stray dogs barking, rooster and pigs in the morning.

Great place to stay for several days or weeks in Praia. Very easy to get around thanks to the minibuses (hiace or hilux) that pass by one minute from the house. The space is spacious, great value for money and delighted to participate in the SOS Children's Village association project!

Great place! All the necessary equipment for a very comfortable holiday. The location is perfect: a short walk to the beach and right next to many restaurants/ bars. (A little noisy in the evening for the room located on the street side, so). The center of Praia can be reached in 5/10 minutes by taxi. Highly responsive host. I highly recommend it!

Tété and his family were very welcoming! It feels like home. We particularly appreciated the recommendations of restaurants/activities/outings displayed in the room. ❤️A big thank you! Go there without a second thought!

All the laudatory comments of previous visitors are true and there is not much to add. This unique valley has so much to offer, if you are interested in Landscape, Plants, Geology, Hiking, People… Some physical fitness is helpful. My tip: a two nights stay might not be enough to explore. Another plus: the food offered by Iolanda and Johannes (a trained cook!) is exceptional and shouldn’t be missed under any pretext. Iolanda and Johannes are both outstanding hosts. WiFi can be spotty but the cellphone reception is very good so you might want to think about using your phone as a local hotspot, if urgently needed. Highly recommended!

Paula's accommodation is as advertised, very well-equipped, a very pleasant terrace and 2 minutes from the beach. Paula is a very responsive and welcoming host, like all Cape Verdeans! Thank you for everything Paula!

Our stay was amazing. Tarrafal is great but the house and the location were even better. Karine was a great host!!
