Description
For those who want to get to know the real Cape Verde, a vacation in Santiago is very worthwhile. Gigantic mountains, with miles of hiking trails, beautiful valleys with fruit trees and sugar cane, idyllic authentic villages, beautiful beaches and the true Cape Verdean culture.

Santiago: an island for hiking, surfing, walking, off-road driving, visiting colorful markets or just relaxing on the beach.

Santiago: the most diverse island of Cape Verde. And the base for this discovery tour starts at B&B Villa Alegria in Tarrafal!

With Cape Verde you probably think of sun, sea, beach. This is certainly one of the qualities Santiago offers.

But this largest Cape Verde island also has beautiful green valleys, a mountainous interior and vast fields with banana plantations. 

Santiago is an island with a huge selection for beach, culture, hiking and nature lovers. On this island you will find the peace and cosiness of the local population. Mass tourism has not yet discovered this Cape Verde island.

The capital of Cape Verde, Praia, is also on Santiago. Praia is a very lively city, which is worth visiting for some; others prefer the tranquility of, for example, Tarrafal, which lies in the north of Santiago. Here are the most beautiful beaches of the island.

In Tarrafal we started in April 2018 with the plans for starting B&B Villa Alegria. After having been on family visits and holidays in previous years, and falling in love with the island, the people and the culture, this dream could be realized in January 2019.

The basic idea of ​​B&B Villa Alegria is to mix quality and a bit of luxury with the "Africa" ​​feeling you get on the island. Finally, our guest does not want to get rid of the feeling of a "well-deserved" vacation, by fully sacrificing luxury, so the decision to set up a more "luxury B&B" was made quickly.

Due to the large differences between "rich" Europe and the less fortunate Cape Verde, we therefore assume that business operations contribute to sustainability.

We serve local products, involve the local tradespeople and craftsmen in our projects and housekeeping. But also ensure fair salaries for our employees, and offer them a helping (financial) hand with their personal growth and daily problems.

During our treks we have been to all corners of the island, and have really discovered "gems" of nature and culture. In our villa you will also find photo walls (with our own photos) of all the places where we could enjoy Cape Verde.

We hope to meet you yourself and perhaps with our "Santiago Excursion" to get to places where even the islanders have never been.

B&B Villa Alegria is located in the Ponta d'Atum district. A neighborhood that is fully under development, but it is the most peaceful and spatial area of ​​the city.

The atmosphere in the neighborhood reflects the typical Cape Verdean "slow-on" setting; allowing you to get to know this culture, but with the luxury of a well-deserved holiday feeling.

B&B Villa Alegria is about 3 minutes walk from the beautiful rocks overlooking the Atlantic Ocean; 5 minutes from the beach and 8 minutes walk from the center of Tarrafal where the nice restaurants and shops are located.

From January 2021 we have also available B&B Casa Alegria, 200 meters from Villa Alegria. Guests of Villa Alegria are welcome to the happy (cocktail) hour on the roof terrace of Casa Alegria. Guests of Villa Alegria can always contact the reception of Casa Alegria

We hope that after reading all this you have become enthusiastic about our B&B Villa Alegria, and would like to see you to have an unforgettable holiday.

Staff, rooms, communication, tours to the nature reserve... The breakfast was very European. We told the staff and they made local dishes the next morning. They were absolutly amazing.

From the start the hosts were very friendly and also the way they made the accomodation cosy and comfortable. Breakfast was great, so many choice. Extra plus they are so friendly for the dogs over here. There was an extra touch by filling the fridge with some nice drinks and some fruit in the room.

This is real Cape Verde tourism and not package holiday time. Irene, Jose and Adla and the team were fantastic. We have had such a special time during the black cloud called corona. The walk in Serra Malagueta with Adla was fantastic as was the walk to Jose's submarine. Beautiful sun sand and surf with great beach bars and a dive centre only 200m away.

Second time for work in Tarrafal and Villa Alegria. Perfect breakfast. Helpfull and kind staff (had to change my tickets and taxi), who took care of my luggage. Extra fruit and juices in my room (for free), and a nice lunch for departure. A stay without worries.

Owners Irene and Jose are fantastic and welcoming hosts!! They go out of their way to make their clients feel welcome. They have so much knowledge of Tarrafal, gives great advice and they helped me and my fiancé with personal things I would never expect from a host, which makes me forever greatful!! Irene learned what I liked for breakfast and adapted the time for me to be able to get up later in the morning. When we wanted a early check in they responded immediately that we could come, that was most appreciated because usually places like this has strict rules about check in times. Everything we asked for they could help with! And they were available on what’s App as soon as I had questions! The bed & breakfast itself was in perfect location with walking distance to the beach and centre! Very clean and fresh rooms with a eye for detail regarding interior design! Comfortable beds, and a big plus for me was how the rooms had shower gels, shampoo and perfume you could use. Outside area where you could relax comfortably. WiFi worked perfect and the suite we chose had Netflix and air conditioning. We really had everything we needed in this lovely bed & breakfast. We will definitely come back!!

That place is just great. Since I arrived I felt like home. Super clean, great staff, very good breakfast. The location is superb, is just two minutes walk from the beach and the center of the town but still very quiet to relax. The whole area is very safe. The owners they really care about their guests and they are always happy to receive you. I also learnt a lot about cabo verde from the staff who is explaining a lot about the history of the country and they gave me a lot of good tips on how to spend my days. I had the suite because I wanted a private bathroom but after seeing how clean was everything I wouldn't mind to have one of the other rooms with the shared bathrooms either. The only negative thing is that I had to leave. Thank you for the great stay.
