Le logement est super ! La chambre était très propre et on s’y sent très bien. Le petit déjeuner est très bien également. Le personnel est très gentil.

Hartelijke ontvangst door de (Nederlandstalige!) gastvrouw die we op elk moment mochten lastig vallen: voor excursies, nuttige info, geldwissel, enz.. Duidelijke info ook over de B&B. Prima ontbijt met voldoende mogelijkheden.
Ligging prima: dicht bij winkels, restaurants, strand van Tarrafal, dijkpromenade).
De B&B zelf is klein-gezellig met grote kamers.
Er waren wel wat problemen met de wifi maar dit is uiteindelijk opgelost.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, ca. 500 von Strand und Ortszentrum. Gutes Frühstück auf der Terrasse im Freien. Außerordentlich zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Leider hatten wir nur einen Tag. Wir kommen wieder.

Wir wurden sehr warm von der Besitzerin/Managerin empfangen und sie hat uns sogar mit ihrem Auto von der Casa Alegria in die Villa Alegria gefahren obwohl es nur wenige Minuten zu Fuss entfernt war. Sie hat uns alles super erklärt. Leckeres Frühstück, am Nachmittag/Abend kann man die Küche mitbenutzen, Wäsche Service, super sympathischer Security Mitarbeiter der am Abend seine Runden dreht. Grosszügiges Bad mit warmem Wasser. Trinkwasser und Tücher lagen bereit. Moskitonetz und Fentilator hatte es ebenfalls. Wir hatten sogar unseren eigenen Eingang mit Tisch und Bank vor dem Zimmer. Und es war sehr sauber. Die Besitzerin hat per Mail super schnell geantwortet wenn wir Fragen hatten ausserhalb ihrer Bürozeiten. Wirklich super! Mega Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!

- die Besitzerin ist super lieb und hilft bei allen Fragen (davon hatte ich eine ganze Menge) und Sorgen rund um den Aufenthalt oder der Anfahrt
- das Frühstück hatte eine schöne Auswahl und es gab jeden Tag was neues (zB mal Pancake, mal ein einheimisches Gericht usw)
- Preis/Leistung stimmt
- Supermärkte sind auch in der Nähe
- sie bieten Wäsche-Service zu einem guten Preis an (das haben wir sofort ausgenutzt und sind sehr zufrieden)

We stayed both in Villa Alegria as in Casa Alegria which both have their own charms. We preferred the casa because of the roof terrace and we liked the rooms a bit more BUT no worries if you book for the Villa, this one is nice as well ;-)
The host, Irene, well what can i say...she's like a walking travel agency and has a superb netwerk all over the island. If you need things to be done, she will make it happen. Some ex:
- Hiking in the Serra Malagueta (you can choose your own hike): she arranged a very reliable French/English/Portuguse speaking guide who has an incredible knowledge of the island. It seemed like he knew everyone where we came. His name Silvio. If you want to do something here, ask for him. PS: you can hike in the Serra alone, but with a guide you will go to places that you will not see on your own.
- Arranging private transport: always reliable, English speaking persons with a normal driving style :-)
- Arranging transport to other islands. It's not easy to get things done here. CVInterilhas website is not stable and Irene knows how to get you things done.
- Tips for restaurant, food,..all spot on. We enjoyed the food here every day.
- Problems of other kind? Irene will try to help you via her network. Her husband grew up here so things can be arranged a lot easier.
- Transport to the airport, Irene. Aluguer is of course an option but you don't want to arrive late for you plane or ferry...
Breakfast in both locations is in buffet style and is all you need: coffee/tea, 3 styles of cold drinks, milk and cereals, cheese/ham/salami, breads, eggs (boiled and mirror), fruits like banana, papaya, apples,...all you need.
Location: quiet area, few 100m away from beach and restaurants. The best of both worlds ;-)
Rooms: we stayed in 3 different rooms. One advise, take a room with airco. All rooms were spacy, clean and a lot of options.
Fridge filled with free alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
If i have to write down one thing it's the room without airconditioning. If you have the option, take a room with AC. Nights are hot here and a fan doesn't cool the room and also makes noise. Of course this applies to all accomoditions so it's not a negative thing for this place. It's just an ocerall tip if you book a place in CV.

Location close to Tarrafal beach.
Breakfast was very good. Mini fridge refilled every day for no extra cost was so so thoughtful, plus the bottle of wine to welcome us. The bathroom had shower gels, perfumes, shampoo, cotton buds, hair dryer, body lotion... it was all about great extras at this B&B. The place is also quiet and very relaxing.
Irène is such a nice person, she organized a fishing trip for us. She was always offering great advice about literally anything 😄 and we can confirm her advice were worth it.
Thanks again Irene and stay the same!
There were few mosquitoes in the room, unfortunately they could find their way under the mosquito net which was not large enough.

Irene is the sweetest host !
The breakfast is very good also. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need if you don't feel like eating out. The location is perfect.
The pictures don't do justice to the villa. The place is way better in reality :-) I was pleasantly surprise when I saw the villa and the room!
The bathroom is on the first floor and the room on the second floor. That is not a complaint, just an information if it could be an issue for you.

Thank you, Irene and staff!

B+B Villa Alegria is a dutch run B+B and fitted to western european standards. Nothing but topclass, great breakfast, great hosts willing to answer and help with any question you may have. The minibar is filled everyday - free of charge. Staff very friendly. There is a lovely outdoor seating area in the front, all with good Wifi connectivity. The B+B is only a 5min stroll away to beaches (great for swimming and snorkeling) and restaurants serving fresh fish and more... The B+B can also organize a local tourguide to walk in the mountains of the Serre Malagueta.
One of the payment options can be in Euro through your mobile internet banking app which saves carrying cash around all the time.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a relaxed, well pampered stay in Tarrafal.

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!!

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.

For my work back to Caboverde.The third time at Villa Alegria. Still excellent. A little escape during these difficult times. The staff is so helpfull. The service still "on top".

Breakfast was awesome. We asked for vegan breakfast (one of us it is) and we could all try and enjoy every meal there!
Adla was really nice. The house is decorated and cozy, clean and bright. And really close to the beach! It takes about 5 minutes to reach there.
There were two security guys in front of the door and some cameras around the house.
Water pression. It was definitely not enough for 4 people, despite there was space for 4 more. We couldn't have shower properly due to the small pression and on the last day lack of it.
The neighbourhood was apart from the centre. Despite Tarrafal is small, I wouldn't walk on my own on that street.
