  • 50% discount for dog lovers until mid June 2012!!!!

    DISCOUNTS FOR DOG LOVERS For those villa guests who love dogs, and would be willing to put out food and water (we will provide this) for two charming beach dogs called Niki and Jet, we will offer a discount of 50% on the villa price. Please contact us to find out more, and for which dates discounts are possible. There are no kennels in Sal, and although Niki and Jet will be leaving to go to their new home in Germany, they need to stay in Sal until their paperwork is all in order. You may have noticed a picture of a dog in the villa photographs. This is Brando, the beach dog we rescued from Sal in 2011. Also, on one of the photos is his friend known as Barbos, who left Sal for a new life in Scotland.

    If you don't like dogs, don't worry. These dogs don't live at or in the house and are currently being fed by someone elsewhere in Murdeira.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Cape Verde

We stayed in Murdeira for 2 weeks looking carefully before buying. We loved the position and the feeling of light and airiness. At the edge of a West facing bay, with ocean views and beautiful sunsets, you can hear the sound of the sea and watch the colour of the water change from turquoise to dark blue to grey to glistening white under the moonlight, to jet black. Most guests spend their time outdoors, and enjoy sunbathing on the roof terrace overlooking the bay (teak chaise longues with mattresses). Wake up to the smell of fresh baked bread, listen to the rustling of the palm fronds. Have breakfast on east facing breakfast balcony, lunch on the roof terrace, sundowners and dinner in the west facing outdoor dining room or on the terrace surrounded by hibiscus.

With small sandy beaches or coves to choose from, your closest one is about 100 yards, where the bottom shelves slowly. Space to store your sport equipment. Car parking outside.

With windows, mahogany shutters and balconies/patios on three sides, and insect netting throughout, the villa is kept at the right temperature, day and night by natural environmentally friendly methods. This part of the resort was built by a Cape Verde company nine years ago, with a local architect . They installed the facilities needed for an Atlantic island, with stand-by electricity generator, additional water storage, roads, lighting, security as well as properties specifically designed for the local climate. About the owners. We have been letting this villa since 2005 years, and despite this being well furnished when we purchased from careful Germans, we have shipped out many extras such as futons from Notting Hill, teak garden furniture, solid wood furniture, quality bedding, beach towels, Denby china and lots of kitchen implements. We travel frequently to all Cape Verde Islands.

Huge inventory upon request. Sal is great all year, for winter sunshine holidays, and in the summer too.

Best villa rental ever

Review Submitted: February 17, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
The villa and resort more than lived up to the advertising and all our contacts with the owners were efficient and friendly. The villa was clean, spacious and very well equipped with lots of sitting out areas, all with good views. Useful to have shady as well as sunny spots. We liked the privacy and space but it was also useful to have a lovely pool area, reasonable restaurant and shop close by. We enjoyed the island and were glad we had hired a 4x4 so that we could wander the coastline at will. Lovely beaches but swimming possibilities limited if sea is rough, as it was for us. Lots of good places to eat cheaply in Santa Maria, the main resort. Local shops and markets were limited but adequate and everyone was very friendly. A relaxing place for a sunny seaside holiday - we didn't bother going into hotels, clubs or on tours but just totally chilled out. We have already recommended this villa to friends!
