KAZARÃO DI MAVETE- Guesthouse is a beachfront property set in Praia, 200 metres from Justice Palace and 300 metres from Jaime Mota Barracks. The property has mountain and garden views, and is 1.1 km from Praia Negra. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. I had a wonderful stay at Kazarao di Mavete. The guesthouse is very clean, nicely decorated, and located in a quiet but central area of Praia. I really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere. The host, Eddy, was incredibly kind and helpful. He made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. On top of that, he is an amazing guide — he organizes tours to the most beautiful and unmissable places around Praia and Santiago Island. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a good bed and a strong shower. I also enjoyed the coffee corner and the little touches that made the stay special. I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Praia. Thank you Eddy!

The guest house provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a toaster, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and a hair dryer. A fridge and kitchenware are also provided, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the guest house, every unit has bed linen and towels. 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.
