It was our first accommodation on Cape Verde and even though it was a bit pricey compared to other options, I am happy we chose it for starters for the least possible cultural shock :) It is very modern, clean, organised with the most amazing breakfast buffet full of local and traditional goods. The choice of fresh juices was insane and i was falling asleep looking forward to the breakfast. And the coffee was very good too. The owner came to speak with us during our breakfast and explained us about the dishes we were having, which was a nice touch. The AC in the room was very helpful for transitioning into tropical climate and the thick curtains made it possible to sleep off the jet leg a bit longer in the morning. The staff spoke english and was very helpful with everything we needed like car hire.

The location and the view were stunning. The pool on the roof terrace was a beautiful view, especially w the sunset.

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.

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 entire staff was very welcoming, despite the language barrier (that was overcame as they all speak english), they gave me great advice that made my trip way better! The hotel is a nice establishment, very clean and quiet. Despite being a little excentrated it is still very accessible; one can take the bus 12 and get to the city center within 20min for only 43 CVE, and taxis drive nearby at a high frequence.
The apartment is well located, has everything one would need for their stay. Clean, spacious and modern, comfy beds. Walking distance to the best beach in Praia and some local shops. Best thing about our stay was the Picoteo Tapas Bar that is located on the ground floor basically at the same building - we spent all evenings there! Best staff, best tapas, best cocktails in Praia, an absolute mus visit.
I enjoyed the hospitality in the first place. My wife and I arrived in Praia at 2 am, and the team was there to welcome us and make sure we check in accordingly. Plus, the apartment is so neat, and very spacious. I definitely recommend the apartment without hesitation to anyone who wants to enjoy their vacations in a cosy, calm, secured and neighborhood. My wife and I had the best stay ever.🇸🇳❤️
The staff was so helpful and always smiling. They helped with 2AM check-in, with tours and information about public transportation. The breakfast was reasonable. The hotel is located in a new residential part of town so there are many buildings under construction. The hotel is also very close to the coast and there is a running track and calisthenics park and it's awesome around sunset time.
Very good location in the centre of the Plateau and next to different cafés and restaurants to eat. The local market is also a few steps away. The room is spacious and there is a medical set if needed with even condoms in it. I thought wifi was bad but I was using the one in the building instead of the one of best rooms (I didn't see the paper in the desk in the room). There is hot water.
The apartment is spacious and located in a very nice, calm and secure neighborhood with many attractions. It's close to many grocery shops and restaurants.
Being not far from Praia, it's very easy to get to downtown by the many bus serving the area.
We were a family of four and felt like home
Stefan, the host was very responsive and tried to do it's best to satisfy our needs.
The whole staff has been extremely kind and welcoming. We were travelling with our 9 months old daughters and they have been very nice to us and to her. The hotel is equipped with high chairs and they provided a cradle for our staying.
Breakfast and meals are delicious. We recommend this option for people travelling and staying in Praia.
Excelente morning breakfast ( I was expecting more daily variety of breakfast food) but overall was excellent. I love the room with a sea view and a beautiful outdoor pool. Love everything there friendly staff with a welcome smile in their face which makes our family vacation awesome. I highly recommend this hotel.
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).
Very good hotel, top quality - perfect to start a roundtrip in the South of Santiago. Very friendly stuff and a helpful management director. Breakfast buffet is extraordinary. And the large pool is really a big plus! Also the live music in the evening.
Beautiful guesthouse. I had the top floor room and it was gorgeous. Very Instagrammable. Location is perfect. Short walking distance to the best restaurants and entertainment in the city, but far enough that you don’t hear any noise.
Great location on airport side of downtown. Downtown within walking distance. The beaches are on the other side of the city. Perfect transfer to the airport. No parking (I think); but good chance for stopping behind the hotel.
Great little guesthouse in Praia´s Plateau. Very clean and with super helpful staff. We arranged an airport pickup through the host, as well as got a car rented for the duration of our stay. Great location.
Quiet hotel in a residential neighbourhood. The staff is friendly, the room was really big, but the shower had no pressure and no hot water. Transfer from and to the airport was quickly arranged.
Very accommodating. We asked for a driver to pick us up last minute at 1am at the airport and they delivered. Centrally located. Very friendly staff as well
Would recommend overall.
