Dear Guest, As owners (Dutch and Capeverdian) of B&B Villa Alegria and B&B Casa Alegria we welcome you. We started our 3 B&B's (2018 and 2021 and 2023) with a lot of love for Tarrafal and the island of Santiago. We try to give you an unforgettable time in the Villa with our service and our super motivated employees, and to let you enjoy the splendor that the nature and culture of the island has to offer. Team B&B Alegria is ready for you! Pampering our guests is a rewarding task. We also organize beautiful hiking trips on request and are happy to tell you about the culture and sights. See you soon!
Our Villa Alegria is located in the quiet area of ​​Ponta de Atum (3 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and 5 minutes from the center of Tarrafal) Do you want peace and quiet? Then this is an excellent place! If you want activity with restaurants and bars, you are 5 minutes away from the center. The island of Santiago has wonderful places that are really worth discovering (Monte Graciosa, Cidade Velha, the market in Assomada, the oldest tree in Africa, the Poilon) and the many fishing villages with their own culture.
