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
Hi,
Thanks for your review.
I am glad that you enjoyed your stay in the Penthouse apartment, and enjoyed Boa Vista. We are aware that the apartment needs a couple of items improving. During 2020 we will be repainting the floor throughout the apartment, and also repainting the patio area.
The internet is an unfortunate problem, and one that we are looking at ways to improve.
Thanks you for your visit and we hope to welcome you back again one day.
Matt
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
Hallo Gunter,
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und auch für Ihren Aufenthalt bei uns. Ich hoffe, dass Sie Boa Vista genossen haben, und falls Sie jemals wiederkommen möchten, würden wir uns sehr freuen, Sie wieder zu begrüßen.
Matt
Wunderschön
Es war eine wunderschöne Wohnung, schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber perfekt zum ausspannen.
Thank you for your review, I am glad you enjoyed our penthouse. The whole building is in an old colonial style, except for the bathroom which was renovated in 2017 giving that a more modern style.
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.
These holidaymakers did not receive the usual high standard that most of our guests receive. This was due to a combination of the temporary abscence of our concierge (a new baby!), an emergency water leak in the shower room, unexpected rain, and serious illness.
Sometimes bad things all come at once...
Scheduled maintenance takes place at this time of year, so minor problems do get fixed.
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.
Thankfully, the rainy season does not arrive every year. If it does, then late August to mid-September is the time. These guests unfortunately had some rainy days, which is probably why they used more internet than most guests normally need (15gb).
They enjoyed their holiday though, and at least the rain has enabled us to identify a small roof leak for mending!
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
Constructive and fair comments.
The shower room has had a complete refurbishment (Feb 2016) - shortly after these guests left.
Most guests are couples, although the sofa beds are useful for families.
The local currency has an exchange rate fixed to the Euro, so prices can vary. Generally we find them to be about two thirds of UK prices. Fresh fish is VERY cheap when bought at the fish market, but fruit & veg is similar to the UK.
