Family hotels and homes in Assomada

The apartment was very spacious, clean and the very kind owner replied very quickly to any questions.

Big clean room with a large balcony, friendly and helpful hosts and staff.

Central location, high standard room, good breakfast.

Very beautiful property, with everything we needed as a family with a 1 year old and a 4 year old we especially enjoyed the fact that there was a play room on the patio. The gym was also very much appreciated! The house was clean and had enough room to accommodate 2 families !

Nice lodge in the mountains north of Ilha de Santiago. Lovely staff, great hill atmosphere. Good for budget option

Every day a sumptuous breakfast was prepared before my eyes with an abundance of fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices, coffee and tea as well. Tap water comes from a local well and is delivered by a community distribution system. It is not treated with any chemicals and tastes very well. The water seems to be relatively soft insofar I can judge that from showering. The nature of the location and the community (of about 15,000 inhabitants) is such that everything you may need is only a short walk away including transportation, banking, food supplies, restaurants, barber shop, travel agency, you name it. The sea and beach are also close-by at about a 10 minute walk. Everything is extremely reasonably priced. The climate is truly fabulous and exceptionally mild and pleasant, typically 21 min to 27 max degr. Celsius, without ever any need for AC or even a fan at my location and facility, if you can open your windows the beneficial sea breeze will be your comfort supplier. No bugs to speak of cause any discomforts...just kill one tiny mosquito and you're good. My windows remained open every day of my stay, screens or not. The island of Santiago has a very good infrastructure with stable Internet and electricity supplies. Roads are well paved and free of potholes. Animals can stray onto the road which requires extra caution after darkness, I imagine, I just didn't try. The local marketing around the area of the hotel provides a very lively and enjoyable atmosphere. There's public/private transportation available in different modalities and prices, but the excellent taxis, mostly electric, the top of the cream, are still not expensive for European or American standards, but much cheaper comfortable buses can be had. Local people are open, helpful and communicative without ever bothering you with anything. No pushy selling for instance. The same goes for the children, they are adorable but don't ever bother you because you are a stranger.

The room was very clean, as was the bathroom. The lady was so sweet and let me keep the room the next day until I went to the airport without my even asking. It was in a good location for the hike I wanted. Comfortable, safe and good value for money. They also organised a cheaper airport taxi. Very responsive to messages. Thanks again for the great stay

A really beautiful and cleaned house, with a beautiful terrace and a swimming pool. The owner is very nice and kind, and the breakfast is delicious.

Wonderful place wonderful people, the dream Place

The breakfast buffet was a highlight. Delicious and plentiful, with wonderfully friendly service! The front desk staff was available all day and until midnight to address any questions or concerns we had. They were flexible about extending our stay when we wanted to stay longer in charming Tarrafal, and even helped us move our personal items between rooms. And they helped us book a taxi for the return to Praia Airport! If I return to Tarrafal, I wouldn't stay anywhere else!
