Penthouse apartment with sea views, Boa Vista Island

The property has been built using the colours and style of Portuguese colonial architecture, with a single central courtyard, typical of the colonial past, overlooked by romantic wooden balconies. It consists of only a few clean elegant apartments and stylish reception, cafe and bar.

The penthouse apartment has the romance of sea views, seclusion and privacy ideal for 2, but can sleep 4 easily. The large private terrace can only be accessed from the penthouse and is for the exclusive use of the occupants of the penthouse only.

The bathroom has undergone a recent refurbishment to bring it up to date and give it a clean modern look.

A short stroll to the beach, beach restaurants and Sal Rei, and a short drive from the airport.

Tried needs a bit of TLC
Loved the Island and the location of the house couldn't fault it that was perfect. The house had plenty of room for 2 people but.. it is in need of a revamp paint falling off walls and floors the bathroom was very grubby. We were given a phone by Kerry which we thought was a great idea, but unfortunately when we tried to use it to report the broken fan plug and sofa we found that it didn't work. Also the curtains around the outside sofas (which are in the picture) just weren't there so no shade to be found on what was an amazing terrace. We didn't let these little issues spoil our holiday the beach was wonderful you could swim in the sea and the beach bars nearby were very good.

Beautiful Place, beautiful people!
Casa Velha is a large, shutter clad property, colonial in style and comprising maybe half a dozen self contained apartments. We were staying in the top floor penthouse, a fabulous one bedroomed property with extensive outside balconies and terraces. The apartment was furnished in the IKEA style, had an open plan kitchen/living area and on this floor was also the small bathroom. Upstairs was the single bedroom which had french windows and glorious beach/sea views from the bed which was our 6am vantage point as the sun rose. The owners claim the property would sleep 4 but that would rely on 2 sleeping on the sofas in the living area which might not be ideal. The kitchen was well appointed-fridge with small freezer, kettle, toaster, gas hob and oven. The cupboards were perhaps short of cooking essentials such as a colander, bread knife and large lidded saucepan, otherwise it was clean and well appointed. The bathroom was beginning to show it's age but I believe this is soon to be remodelled which will be a big improvement. It also housed the only loo in the property which was a chore if you needed to pay a visit from the upstairs bedroom during the night. The bedroom was a good size with wardrobes and table lamps. The views were simply amazing, to lay on your bed and have an uninterrupted view of a giant sun setting is a joy to behold. The terraces were also outstanding, 4 large sofas, a couple of loungers and a small dining table and chairs, it was perfectly possible to live outside! Accessing the apartment could be challenging if you have young children or mobility problems-it's a climb of 60 odd steps up fairly steep flights of stairs. The beach was a five minute walk away, the town similar. There's a small minimart for groceries and household essentials. We were a little surprised that food shopping and eating in restaurants was similarly prices to the UK, how the locals get on I don't know. The local beach bars are good, Alisios particularly so, we ate out a few times and the food was ok but not the abundance of fresh fish we were expecting. We will certainly return to this African odyssey and this property in particular. Finally mustn't forget the marvellous folks at The Utility Room, Matt & Sam who manage the penthouse on behalf of the owners. Very helpful and totally reliable, they even have the foresight to present guests with a mobile phone pre-charged and connected to a local network in case you need to get hold of them

Lage top!
Lage top! Das Penthouse könnte ein Schmuckstück sein, wenn man ein wenig investieren und die Holzmöbel auf der Dachterrasse streichen würde.

Sehr schöne Wohnung
Wir haben hier im Penthouse 2 wundervolle Wochen verbracht. Matt hat uns sehr liebevoll empfangen und uns am Ende zum Flughafen gefahren. Das Appartment ist sehr schön, wie aber bereits gesagt leicht renovierungsbedürftig. Das Bad ist neu gefließt, der Fussboden könnte mal neu gestrichen werden. Leider gibt es keinerlei WLAN-Empfang im Penthouse, man muss hierzu jeweils ca. 60 Stufen ins Erdgeschoss laufen, aber das hält natürlich auch fit. zum Strand und in die Stadt kann man gut zu Fuß gehen, wir haben unseren Urlaub hier sehr genossen

Penthouse mit Charme
Wir hatten nur eine Woche im Penthouse, haben aber unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Appartmenthaus hat natürlich schon etwas Patina, aber der Ausblick und der freundliche Empfang von Matthew, der uns viele gute Tipps für unseren Urlaub gab war super. Gerne wieder ! LG Katharina + Günter

Mooi appartement op een fantastische locatie.
Wij hebben hier 2 weken gezeten in september. De woning is zoals de foto's laten zien. Goed onderhouden, schoon en op een geweldige locatie op ca 5 minuten lopen van het strand. Faciliteiten als supermarkt en bank zijn ook op ca 10 minuten lopen. Omdat wij in het regenseizoen zaten hebben we wel wat regen gehad. Het appartement lekt dan wel maar zodra de zon er weer is, is het in een oogwenk weer verdwenen. Het zonneterras is heerlijk. We hebben daar veel gezeten in de ochtend en in de avond. Tussen 11.00 tot ca 1500 is het eigenlijk te warm om daar te zijn. Internet is op Boa Vista wel wat problematisch en we vonden het ook wel wat duur (euro 35 voor 7,5Gb). Ophaalservice van het vliegveld en gastvrouw die ons welkom heette waren vriendelijk. Bij de ontvangst hebben we ook een mobiele telefoon gekregen voor local calls. Meubilair is prima en dat geldt ook voor het bed. De keuken is van alle gemakken voorzien. Op het strand zijn een paar goeie strandtenten. De zee is op die plek geweldig. Fijne vakantie gehad.

Heel plezierig appartement met een geweldig dakterras.
Het appartement heeft ruimte, is plezierig ingericht (basic, Ikea), aparte slaapkamer boven met een goed bed, groot extra hier is een enorm dakterras, met mooi uitzicht, met banken en een tafel met stoeltjes, met schaduw bovendien en altijd wat wind, dus prettig vertoeven als je niet de hele dag naar het strand wilt. Niet goedkoop, maar door de uitzonderlijke ruimte zeer aantrekkelijk. Het ligt aan de rand van het dorp Sal Rei, (nog) midden in een open zandvlakte, dus je loopt ('s avonds zaklantaarn mee) vijf of tien minuten naar winkeltjes en restaurants, strand is ook hooguit vijf minuten lopen. Aan het strand verschillende strandtenten, alwaar wat bedjes en parasols. Boa Vista Social Club vonden wij prettig. Dit eiland (nog nauwelijks toeristisch stukje Derde Wereld) en dit appartement zijn prima als je een week in de warmte een rustige vakantie wilt hebben. Enige minpuntje is het zitcomfort van de (slaap-) banken, je zakt na een tijdje steeds onderuit. Dat (gezien de fikse prijs) kost een ster.

Beautiful ocean view apartment
We absolutely enjoyed our 2nd stay at this penthouse. Uncomplicated friendly communication. The boiler had a leak and it got fixed within a few hours. Thanks to Samantha&Mat. Beautiful view for beautiful sunsets. It's perfect for exploring the island and relaxing at the beach (5min walk).
