Covid-19 update: as the World struggles with the pandemic unfortunately the Cape Verde islands have not escaped unscathed, however, things are starting to return to normal here as well as Worldwide. The country was placed into lockdown with all ports and airports closed to contain the virus. The lockdown has now been lifted but some restaurants are open reduced hours still and social distancing is encouraged. The wearing of face masks in public places is recommended. The economy in Cape Verde is heavily reliant on tourism and so I do hope you will choose to holiday there, but your safety and well-being remain our primary concern and so we have relaxed our cancellation policy, perform a deep clean between each guest stay, and limit unnecessary exposure by you being met from the airport pick up by Lizy or Stuart who will take you to the apartment and give you the keys, there will be no need to visit reception to collect or return keys, when you leave you will simply leave the apartment keys, safe keys and pool passes on the dining table in the apartment ready for sterilisation for the next guests.

Lovely holiday

This was a lovely apartment, we really enjoyed our stay here, shame there was only the one restaurant open which wasn’t brilliant, but the shuttle bus and Taxi service to Santa Maria was really good. The internet at the resort was down for about 5 days which was a pain and the swimming pool at our block was out of action which meant we had to go across to the other area for the pool bar and occasionally this was really busy with no free sun beads. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay here and thank you to Lizzie who was really helpful.

A great place for winter sun, while the cost of eating out has increased it is still good value

Very spacious and clean, the facilities on site were a bit quite, but we enjoyed our stay.

Another great stay

Another great holiday at Jeanette's apartment. The airport transfer went really smoothly and the apartment was once again spotlessly clean when we arrived. The welcome pack is such a huge bonus when you get there and was very much appreciated. The apartment has everything you could possibly need. This year we were able to take advantage of the fly screen it the bedroom. Neither of us like air con so at night when it was hot we were able to close the shutters and leave the window open with the fly screen down so we weren't bothered by any mozzies. The sofa on the balcony is also a great addition. We used the pool area practically everyday which is kept very clean and they are constantly cleaning the pool itself. There is a free bus into Santa Maria but we didn't use it this year as we enjoyed the walk into Santa Maria in the evenings and then got a taxi back. This is the second time at Jeanette's apartment and we have no doubt at all in our minds that should we go back to Sal in the future it will be Jeanette's apartment we will be looking to book.

Great location and value for money

This was our second time to Sal and we found the apartment absolutely great! Not only was it brilliant value for money but Jeanette has taken so much time to sort out all the little extra touches... We had a taxi driver waiting for us after getting through the airport and on arrival to Vila Verde we were met by Lizy who took us to the apartment and showed us around and explained the layout of the complex and where amenities were along with how to work the aircon etc. The nicest touch was the fact there was a welcome pack of food when we got there which supplied our breakfasts for the first couple of days! Jeanette had provided us with so much information about the facilities and Santa Maria that you couldn’t go wrong, she’s obviously taken a lot of time to go through anything you could possibly need to know about the island. There are shuttle passes should you need them meaning you can easily get to Ponta Preta and Santa Maria however we preferred to walk there. It was a nice touch that with the shuttle passes you can get free access to sunbeds on Ponta Preta outside Bo Beach Bar. We hope to return to the island next November/December to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and this apartment will be top of our list to stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeanette Brunton

I am married, aged 54, with an adult daughter, son in law and beautiful granddaughter, and a professional career. My husband and I have travelled all over the World and when looking for a holiday home to buy, we wanted somewhere that we could get to quickly, without any down-time due to jet lag, and with reasonably price flights. We love Portugal but as with many European countries, it is not pleasant in winter - we wanted somewhere we could visit at any time of the year and not have to worry about the weather. Cape Verde is constantly around 25 degrees, has long, sunny days, beautiful sunsets, warm and friendly locals, and a really laid back attitude to life. We first visited Cape Verde some 12 years ago and did some island hopping. All the islands are very different, rather like the Canary Islands, but we were enchanted by Sal.

Why they chose this property

It's easy to get to, the climate is fantastic, the locals are friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing, the beaches are fantastic, the sea is warm, it's paradise!

What makes this property unique

The apartment is very well equipped and feels like a real home from home. Air conditioning is a blessing although there is usually a lovely breeze from the ocean and we enjoy sleeping with the window open instead. We travelled to Cape Verde many times whilst waiting for our apartment to be finished, and found that the standard of some of the local accommodation was very basic and left a lot to be desired.

Vila Verde has been built to the more exacting European standards and so not only are the finish and furnishings far superior to elsewhere, but there are lifts, sprinklers, fire alarms, safety rails where needed, etc.

The resort is ideally placed close to Santa Maria, but also in a peaceful location.
