I would have spent 3 days there maximum and spent the other 4 days in Tarrafal, instead.
In general I enjoyed my stay there, but Tarrafal it’s a different world, where you can actually feel the culture and be surrounded with beauty. Cidade abelha is also a must and it’s absolutely beautiful.
I would have loved to manage to see the typical ceramics, but people don’t talk much and don’t value much (unfortunately). I actually went to Sai Domingos on purpose to see it, but the locals said it was closed.

I loved the sun, the water, the history of the people, the moutains and the rest of the land, the beaches, Tarrafel and the kindness of the people. Its a great place for a vacation if you just want sun and the easy life on the beach or climbing mountain trails if you like. I will return!!

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde.
Praia is the capital of Cape Verde. The Santiago island is not the best if you are looking for a great beach experience. There are other islands with easy access that have superb beaches. We did a tour around the island which was interesting visiting Cidade Velha and Tarrafal as well as Sao Vicente. Tarrafal was a nice beach. The two main markets in Praia are a must see, also where you can buy some mementos.

Santiago is not a place for beach holidays, but interesting for people, culture, food...
Great nature & beaches in driving distance, car needed.

Praia is a small "African" town, where you stroll around and enjoy the moment. There is actually nothing spectacular to see, but as a whole it is quite enjoyable. We walked thru Plato and along the beaches (Quebra Canela and Prainha). The restaurants there are really great: good food and nice view! But prices are higher than one would expect, more European.
The property was cleaned and well furnished. Location was nice and quiet. I felt save walking alone at night My host, Antonio was awesome, he made sure I felt save and comfortable. He was more than a host, a great individual and amazing guy. He was able to give me a tour of Santiago, and I highly recommend him to any tourist wishing to explore Praia and its environs. We visited beautiful beaches, National Park, and historic locations during our tour. The winding road and the hilly terrain added much value to the tour.
While the hotel is great and very well located, not far from two nice beaches and from Praia town center (a 5-10 minutes walk) we'd like to praise the kindness and the efficiency of the whole Hotel team. Everyone from the waiters and waitresses to the front desk managers have made our stay smooth and easy and always with a smile. Very much appreciated for our holidays. Nice People make Nice holidays. Thank you very much.
Breakfast was aright, overall my experience wasn't that great.
My first time there and the staff definitely didn't know what they were doing (front desk) they over charged us, they didn't have a room keys for us, the room was smalling like a cigarettes I talked to front desk about it they didn't do anything or at least try, we ended up moved to different hotel.
Very disappointed :-(
First, the location of the hotel in Praia is great, it's in a pretty and lively street surrounded by bars and nice restaurants. Second, I must say that the staff of the hotel was extremely nice and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised by the very high quality of the bed. Overall, it's a great place that is more than worth the relatively low price (we could only stay one night).
The positive point at Vivenda Viviani is the swimming pool, even if it is not a big one. You appreciate it after a day walking in Praia... The location is quiet and there are a few restaurants and small supermarket not too far.
The room was big, the shower was good. The breakfast was good (but not exceptional).
Jericia is possibly one of the best hotel managers on the island followed closely by the very helpful Laura. As a result both my stays here were extremely comfortable. The hotel and the nearby aparthotel rooms are clean, safe and a reliable home from home with the added bonus of exceptional staff.
The hotel staff is very friendly and responsive. We arrived to the airport in the middle of the night and they still offered a pick-up. The rooms are well-equipped and neat. There is a good French-style breakfast on the roof terrace. The hotel does sell SIM cards and helps with the setup.
The rooms with sea view are worth it, one of the best locations in Praia for restaurants and walking around. The breakfast has great choice and very good breads. Lunch snacks very good (sandwich with fresh tuna, tomato salad, ...), best place for a sunset cocktail, and more...
Spacious and clean room. Centrally located with lots of restaurants nearby. Very good Internet connection. Good matrasses. Fluent communication in English with the manager who helped us with transport from airport and to Tarrafal.
Warm welcome from the proprietors, the studio was very clean, fresh towels, air con, and really nice room. I think one of the best in Santiago island - if not the best for cleanliness, comfort and facilities.
One of the best accommodation during our one-week trip across Santiago. Wonderful views to mountains. The room was not so big but clean and nice. Very good location in the city.
Great staff. Very friendly and accommodating. Great location in centre of pedestrian mall. Great food at restaurant attached to this hotel across the street..
This is a private house with 3 rooms. The couple (who also live here) are very nice and try to accommodate all requests. Very helpful to navigate Praia.
