WindShop Casa de Tanche — Local services in Sal

I had a single room on ground floor and felt comfortable while staying there. The owners, Tanche and Linda, are friendly and speak English. I had everything I needed - small fridge, clean bathroom, fresh towels. I brought a kettle, but you can ask Tanche to lend you one. They also run a small supermarket in the same house which I found convenient. I got there fresh croissants in the morning for breakfast and cold beer in the evening. The room was cleaned every day, I also got fresh towels every other day. Casa Tanche is a 15 minutes walk to the pier and a 5 minutes walk to the first (not so nice) beach. The road in front of Casa Tanche is not paved, but it is well lit, cause there are street lanterns. I liked the walks to and from Casa Tanche and felt safe at any time. You get to see normal Cabo Verde life and don't live in a tourist bubble far away from everything. Most hotels in Santa Maria are an hours walk or further away from town. I'm a female solo traveler and can really recommend...

Stayed for 2 weeks. Cleaned everyday, Small TV, Lots of cupboard space. Shower was a bit slow but there is a water shortage on the island. Expensive shop on site but all the shops are small and pricey. Lots of building works going on as they are building a road. 15 min walk into town. Should be no more than £9 to the airport. Cheap bars and restaurants in town but eat away from the centre for the bargain meals and drinks. Nicer beach is a 10 min walk away. Can be noise from dogs and cats at night. Enjoyed...

Stayed here for 1 night and I liked it a lot. Perfectly clean, quiet and friendly. The beach is just 200 meters away. Places to eat and drink a beer are a little bit further but still very near. The buss of the town centre is 15 minutes walk away. That keeps this place quiet.

The lady speaks good English and she helps you out if needed. The small shop can be used on basis of trust. Don’t ruin that trust. The place is way to nice for this.

Great...
