About this property

The property has been built using the colours and style of Portuguese colonial architecture, with a single central courtyard, typical of the colonial past, overlooked by romantic wooden balconies. It consists of only a few clean elegant apartments and stylish reception, cafe and bar.

The bathroom has undergone a recent refurbishment to bring it up to date and give it a clean modern look.

Tried needs a bit of TLC

Loved the Island and the location of the house couldn't fault it that was perfect. The house had plenty of room for 2 people but.. it is in need of a revamp paint falling off walls and floors the bathroom was very grubby. We were given a phone by Kerry which we thought was a great idea, but unfortunately when we tried to use it to report the broken fan plug and sofa we found that it didn't work. Also the curtains around the outside sofas (which are in the picture) just weren't there so no shade to be found on what was an amazing terrace. We didn't let these little issues spoil our holiday the beach was wonderful you could swim in the sea and the beach bars nearby were very good.

First time at Boa Vista and this property

For us it was an experiance to travle to the Capo Verd and specially to Boa Vista. The Penthouse Apartment is place to relax and enjoy the sun rise and set. The space inside and outside at the terrace is beautyful. The sleeping room on top of the appartment give´s an Idea of a perfect holiday. It is a quiet property and the surroundings also too. If you like you can choose the have your breakfast down stairs in the little Bistro in the property, or walk agross to the next bakery of your joice and have a relaxing start into a beautyful day. This Penthouse Apartment was a recomondation from friends of my. They have been to this lovely place serveral times.

2nd time as good as the 1st!

Our second stay at this penthouse on Boa Vista was again a very nice time during our holidays in Cabo Verde. A warm and well-organised welcome by Matthew; the flat ready for us and clean; an immediate feeling of relaxation and enjoyment. Yes, we recommend this place: a flat with a real holiday flavour, a huge terrace with furniture, close to the beach, close to Sal Rei but where you can be on your own. Worth the trip! Definitively!

A fantastic base for a beach holiday

The Penthouse Apartment is perfectly situated near to all the action - beaches, restaurants and shops. It is fully furnished with all the necessary kitchenware, bedding, etc., and has a lovely terrace for sunny breakfasts, romantic evenings (beautiful sunsets, soft lighting, comfy sofas) and sunbathing/relaxing. The property is very well maintained and is cared for by a dedicated team of staff on the ground floor of the apartment building - where there is also a restaurant/bar and internet facilities, as well as good advice about holiday activities, local restaurants, etc.

Wunderschöner erholsamer Urlaub

Wunderschönes Penthouse mit Blick aufs Meer. Die Dachterrasse ist wirklich einmalig. Leider ist wind- und witterungsbedingt das große Sofa-Element nicht mehr ganz so weiß wie abgebildet, was uns jedoch nicht weiter gestört hat. Die Wohnung ist nett eingerichtet, in der Küche alles vorhanden. Aufgrund des Wassermangels auf der Insel, kam es jedoch auch mal vor, dass wir kein Wasser hatten. Die Angestellten waren wirklich sehr nett, Handtuchwechsel etc. kein Problem. Ein wunderschöner Urlaub für Leute, die Erholung suchen und für die Sonne, Sand und Meer genug ist. Die Insel hat keine Highlights zu bieten und wir haben gerade deswegen einen super Urlaub verbracht. Kein Handy, kein Internet, keine Zeitung, kein Event, was man verpassen könnte. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen und man kann gegenüber des Supermercators noch nett sitzen. Sehr schön auch die Strandbar Alisios, nette Bedienung und gutes Essen. Wir haben zwar eine Ferienwohnung gebucht, jedoch kaum gekocht, da nette Restaurant ganz in der Nähe vorhanden sind. Alles in allem ein für uns gelungener Urlaub. Vielen Dank auch an Chris und Gail, die uns im Vorfeld schon viele hilfreiche Tipps gegeben und jede unserer Fragen ausführlich beantwortet haben. Gerne wieder....
