Set within 1.1 km of Praia Negra and 200 metres of Justice Palace in Praia, A Casa da Mizi features accommodation with seating area and a kitchen. The property features sea views and is 300 metres from Jaime Mota Barracks and 400 metres from Praia Presidential Palace. The guest house offers mountain views, a sun terrace, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. A nice and affordable place. We stayed only for one night as we had another flight early in the morning. The host, Maria is extremely polite and friendly. Even though she says she doesn’t speak English very well, there were 0 issues whatsoever in terms of communication. Overall a great place to lay your head down for a few days or even a week.

The guest house provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a toaster, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and a hair dryer. A fridge and kitchenware are also provided, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the guest house, every unit has bed linen and towels. Every day a sumptuous breakfast was prepared before my eyes with an abundance of fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices, coffee and tea as well. Tap water comes from a local well and is delivered by a community distribution system. It is not treated with any chemicals and tastes very well. The water seems to be relatively soft insofar I can judge that from showering. The nature of the location and the community (of about 15,000 inhabitants) is such that everything you may need is only a short walk away including transportation, banking, food supplies, restaurants, barber shop, travel agency, you name it. The sea and beach are also close-by at about a 10 minute walk. Everything is extremely reasonably priced. The climate is truly fabulous and exceptionally mild and pleasant, typically 21 min to 27 max degr. Celsius, without ever any need for AC or even a fan at my location and facility, if you can open your windows the beneficial sea breeze will be your comfort supplier. No bugs to speak of cause any discomforts...just kill one tiny mosquito and you're good. My windows remained open every day of my stay, screens or not. The island of Santiago has a very good infrastructure with stable Internet and electricity supplies. Roads are well paved and free of potholes. Animals can stray onto the road which requires extra caution after darkness, I imagine, I just didn't try. The local marketing around the area of the hotel provides a very lively and enjoyable atmosphere. There's public/private transportation available in different modalities and prices, but the excellent taxis, mostly electric, the top of the cream, are still not expensive for European or American standards, but much cheaper comfortable buses can be had. Local people are open, helpful and communicative without ever bothering you with anything. No pushy selling for instance. The same goes for the children, they are adorable but don't ever bother you because you are a stranger.
