Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Pedra Badejo

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.

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.

The only perfect place for those who would like to hike Serra Malagueta park. Located around 10-minute walking distance from 3, most iconic circular trails. Amazing, warm-hearted Staff always there to help you. Very clean, gorgeous views and sunsets. Extremely delicious and big breakfast with traditional options (vegetarian) and freshly made juices from local fruits. Truly the best place I stayed at on Santiago island. Thank you! And keep going :)

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.

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

That was a pleasant stay after busy days in the city. The "best place in the world". Calm, minimalist, in the valley below the mountains. Easy access to the main road by car and feet. Perfect base for hiking.

The location is perfect, beacuse it is very near to the airport. The host responses are very fast and exact. The host and staff are very kind.

Great host, location for airport

The property, the decor and everything else about it. It's very private even though you have neighbors who were very welcoming, BTW. The neighbor offered us mangoes and even eggs from her chicken. People from Santiago are very warm and welcome people; this is all over Santiago. Yolanda cooks very nice meals at her restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

Location is great in a middle of the mountains close a few shops and restaurants. It is a spacious property and you get the views of all mountains around whichever corner of the house you are in.
