Property info

Encosta Azul Guesthouse Encosta Azul is a simple and welcoming guesthouse located in Cidade Velha, the first settlement in Cape Verde and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, we value tranquility, authenticity, and genuine Cape Verdean hospitality. Situated in a peaceful area just a short distance from the historic center, the property offers comfortable apartments, a swimming pool, free parking, and Wi-Fi access. Encosta Azul is not a luxury hotel. It is a family-run guesthouse designed for travelers who wish to relax, experience the local culture, and enjoy the slower pace of Cidade Velha. Wake up to the Atlantic breeze, explore the region’s historic landmarks, connect with local people, and discover the true spirit of Cape Verdean morabeza. If you are looking for simplicity, authenticity, and a relaxed atmosphere, Encosta Azul will be delighted to welcome you.
