Casa Strela B&B Tarrafal

Great B&B with excellent breakfast and friendly staff

Pros: Casa Strela has great breakfast and a nice location. The staff are very helpful and it's a great place to explore Tarrafal. There is a minibar available 24/7. The restaurant on the roof terrace has a small menu but great food.

Pros: Lovely view from the rooftop restaurant, breakfast was amazing and the staff were welcoming and helpful.

Recommended

Pros: Breakfast was amazing. Rooftopterrace fantastic. Personnel was very friendly.

Cons: A little far away from everything.

Pleasant stay

Pros: Verry friendly staff and delicous dinner on roof terrace.

Cons: Rooms are a bit noisy

Absolutely recommended ...as lovely of a stay as one can have.

Pros: Our experience was a wonderful one. From the walk introducing us to the location to the mosquito netting in each room, the service and facilities truly matched the B&B feel. The food was delicious and the sustainability and care for use was always present. The people were kind and generous with their time, and their pleasantry was almost infectious. Dinner is made in a very small kitchen and the wait is a bit longer than usual, but the food was spectacular and the patio area, with the sea and its sound in the distance, made the wait worthwhile. We would recommend it fully, even thought the surrounding area still needs developing the overall environment is lovely and worth the stay.

Cons: The underdevelopment around the B&B, but it is the reality of the location. As such, there is a kind of honor to it, a forced perspective that forces you to view with different lenses.

Good

Pros: The location is great, very near the centre of the village. Good parking and very safe. The food in the restaurant is delicious.

Cons: We staid in the room under the restaurant and we could hear the noise form upstairs. The restaurant service is very slow. For breakfast it takes a long time for them to get to your table and for dinner if you don´t order first it takes hours for them to get your food.

Amazing staff, endless fun, and delicious food (hello, hot stone tuna!)

Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They offered a great variety of activities to choose from, making it easy to plan our days. The on-site restaurant was truly excellent. The hot stone tuna was a particular highlight – delicious! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay

Cons: just a small suggestion for improvement: the mattress could be a bit firmer to provide optimal comfort. Otherwise, everything else was excellent!

Pros: delicious breakfast (incl. fresh homemade traditional Catchupa) on the roof top terrace with a nice view hotel is located within walking distance from the town center, restaurants and beach hotel staff made sure we were picked up from Santiago airport and then transferred back by a very kind taxi driver called Stylee

Cons: lots of locusts in the house

Great stopover place to stay

Pros: We only stayed one night at Casa Strela B&B but it is a lovely place to stay. Our room was basic but comfortable and despite it having an external bathroom it was private, for our use only and with a key, and only a couple of paces outside our bedroom. The rooftop terrace with bar and restaurant is lovely. In the morning the view of the ocean whilst having breakfast is stunning. There is a limited menu for dinner in the evening but the quality of the food produced is excellent. The location is great, particularly as there is parking outside the property. It is only a few minutes walk to the main street and also a lovely promenade/exercise track which runs all the way along the edge of the sea to the small harbour at the top end of the town. If we ever returned to Tarrafal we would most certainly stay at Casa Strela again.

Cons: Not a dislike, more of a recommendation, the rooftop restaurant gets busy in the evenings and is also open to non-residents. If you want to eat there book a table so as to avoid disappointment.

Very good place to stay.

Pros: Breakfast was really good. For the the best i had in Cabo Verde. Most things are fresh and the terrace facing the sea is wonderful. Tours are not always avaialable and fairly pricy (I was in Decemeber)

Cons: as each hotel in CV there are always things whicn need maintenance, so the bath tube in this case.
