The units have a fully equipped kitchen with dining area, an oven, coffee machine, and a microwave. Free WiFi is accessible to all guests, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. At the guest house, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Alcino is very friendly and helpful, whenever I sent him a message, he responded very fast. We liked this big house, we were feeling like at home, it's close to the beach, to the center of the town, to the diving center, to the restaurant, only 5 to 10 minutes walk to most of the places. If someday I'd come again to Tarrafal, I'm sure I'd come to this accommodation again!
