Comfortable Family Home

We were very comfortable in this well equipped home. While not modern, it was made very livable in so many ways, eg. all the windows were screened so we could allow fresh lovely fresh breezes through the apartment and not have to use the A/C (it was winter here). The kitchen had all the basics for us to prepare most of our meals at home. The tiny back 'yard' with clotheslines made it easy to dry our clothes washed at home. We found the bed a little small for my 6'2" husband but not unworkable. There is a small grocery store only 2 blocks away; more shopping and restaurants at a 5 min walk: a yoga studio and health food store with vegetarian restaurant 4 blocks away; a local pub just around the corner with live weekend entertainment; 3 gyms in the area and 10 min walk to the nearest beach that was very good for swimming. There is a seawall for nice walks only 5 min away. The neighborhood is active and busy with many families. The host was very helpful and spoke English; he took us on a walking tour of the local district so we had an idea where to find shops and services. We felt it was excellent value as a stay.

About the host

Hosted by Simone Gabriela

Host profile image
I am the daughter of the owners of the property. My parents Alcindo and Sonia own the property for over 30 years now and have up kept it very well. Now that the kids are out of the house we have the extra space of the first floor apartment that we have freshly renovated. I help my parents with managing and renting the property via the internet and they are there to receive and accommodate the guests.

Why they chose this property

Perfect Palmarejo Location:

A walkable, lively neighborhood near shops, cafés, and local hotspots
Just a 15-minute stroll to Praia’s Kebra Canela beach—hello, sunset walks!
Easy access to transport and attractions while feeling tucked away

What makes this property unique

Casa di Doce isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a heartfelt slice of Cape Verdean life.

What sets it apart is the warmth of tradition blended with modern comforts. My mother, Sonia, crafts some of the most beloved jams and compotes in Cape Verde, and each guest gets to enjoy a taste of that sweet heritage. As locals, we love sharing our culture through hospitality and flavors that speak to our island’s soul.

As a Cape Verdean immigrant living in the U.S., this is also my personal retreat. I’ve tailored Casa di Doce to be perfect for my own family of four—whether we’re adventuring around Praia or relaxing together indoors. It’s designed for connection, discovery, and cozy downtime.

Plus, it’s remote-work ready. My spouse and I are both used to the high standards of U.S.-style remote work setups, so the apartment features fast fiber internet and everything needed to be productive while enjoying island life.

And as locals, we're happy to share our insider recommendations—from top-rated restaurants and cozy cafés to nearby gyms, Pilates studios, massage spots, and other neighborhood gems—all within walking distance. We make it easy to feel at home and enjoy the best of Palmarejo.

Casa di Doce offers a local experience with global comfort—where every detail is personal, intentional, and sweetly unforgettable.
