Chez Maria Julia Boutique Hotel

Fantastic chef that brings flair, sophistication and beautiful presentation to African/Cape Verdean inspired dishes.

Pros: Fantastic chef that brings flair, sophistication and beautiful presentation to African/Cape Verdean inspired dishes. I had succulent and mouthwatering yellow fin tuna that I can still taste months later. Delicious is an understatement.

Pros: The owner is taking care of almost everything and she is really a nice and caring person, really appreciate the time we had in this hotel!

Clean, modern and efficient.

Pros: Delicious breakfast, cool rooms and quiet. Great communication from the hotel, who ordered taxis at the last minute, due to travel plan changes.

Nice hotel close to the beach

Pros: The hotel is very modern. The room was very spacious and the beds incredibly comfortable. The position is very good, close to the beach area of Praia, where one can find nice restaurants. We were suggested to call a taxi after dark, even for a short distance. No issue during the day. The breakfast in the morning was superb. The best in our 14 days in Cabo verde. We got to know that Maria Julia is a well known cook, but unfortunately the restaurant was closed when we were there. Such a pity!

Perfect, we will book again!

Pros: Rooms spacious and clean and beds comfortable. But more importantly is the hospitality from Maria Julia and her team. Wonderful! Great chef, great food and lots of fun.

Cons: All good, however when you are dropped off on the top floor you wonder where reception is ;)

Pros: Clean, cozy and very practical access to different places and the beach.

Cons: Communication can be improved, to avoid misunderstandings.

Great host, great food 😁

Pros: Maria Julia is an amazing host and the food is 10/10 🤌🏽

Amazing accommodation in Praia including awesome gastronomy :)

Pros: All was perfect - thank you!!! - smooth check-in, check-out, helpfulness of everyone around (I felt like at home and very welcome), cleanliness of the room and also other areas, cosy rooms and the whole hotel, reception also provides the taxi service ordering, functional Wi-Fi - amazing breakfast (local, fresh, delicious, interesting, home-made - I had everyday different breakfast even though I stayed more than a week :), amazing restaurant (all meals I tasted were literally very experiential) - calm and nice location close to the beach as well as supermarket As a bonus, chef Maria Julia around with her kindness and professionality (not only in gastronomy) :) I hope to come again!

The perfect alternative in Praia to the bigger 4/5 stars hotels!

Pros: The owner is a professional TV cook. You could tell the food was special, had excellent taste, and was beautifully served. The owner has been an excellent host in the old sense, making connections to almost all guests.

Cons: Nothing to tell.

Pros: Unfortunately only stayed one night, as I was traveling elsewhere - but staying here gave me the chance to really relax and prepare for my travel. The bed was comfortable and the room clean and spacious. Breakfast was great as well is the restaurant itself. I had the honor to meet the owner and she told me about this project - as this hotel is more than just comfortable rooms with a bed! (google all the info) Keep an eye on this hotel and come and support :)
