Self Catering Accommodation in Picos

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

The apartment is big and comfortable, and close to the coast, the beaches, and city center. Maria and Osvaldo and their children are amazing hosts, they are very welcoming and available to answer questions and share their life and culture. The took time to show me around and my stay was truly enriched thanks to them. You really feel at home.

Chiquinha is an absolutely lovely host! Spacious, comfortable room and very well equipped.

The whole house was fabulous. Great location, amenities, great views, fully stocked kitchen and drinks fridge. Private beach could not have chosen a better location.

Beautiful, clean, genuine, good breakfast! Short walk to Cidade Velha which can not be missed when visiting Santiago.

Davidi was very friendly & helpful and made sure I have everything I need. It is a very spacious and clean apartment in a quiet but central quarter of Pedra Badejo.

Everything was perfect!!! No hesitations to have if you want to come here. We just want to thank you, Carlos and Djamila. ❤️ With no doubt, the best hosts in the whole world, so helpful and accommodating. People with a big heart, we considerate you like our family now!!! Hard to say goodbye! Take care ! Hope we will see each other again.

Super modern apartment with an astonishing view. The sun rises right over the ocean every morning, you can see it from the bed :) Can NOT confirm the negative reviews about the kitchen, our apartment had everything you need for (simple) cooking. The host is very friendly and helpful (best if you speak french :) the village is very small and mainly focused on the beach, which makes it cosy and quiet. Highly recommend!

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.
