Guest Reviews
- Dr. Walter (10/5): Prima! - Sehr zu empfehlen!
- Isabelle (9/5): - J'ai apprécié l'emplacement, la errasse avec vue, le petit- déjeuner sur le toit, et surtout la gentillesse du personnel. Les moustiques la 2ème nuit.
- Thierry (7/5): -
- Ana Maria (7/5): Desayuno y ubicación de 10. - Estuvimos muy a gusto en este alojamiento. El desayuno nos gustó mucho y el equipo es muy agradable. Las habitaciones son quizás demasiado grandes para dos personas, pero para una familia son ideales. Tuvimos mucho problema con los mosquitos, nos costó dormir a pesar de tener todas las ventanas cerradas. Pensamos que había algún nido dentro de la casa, sería importante revisar todo. Por lo demás estuvimos fenomenal.
- Alexandra (9/5): -
- Theresia (8/5): Tevreden. - Edifico is gedateerd maar dit heeft ook zijn charme. Behulpzaam en vriendelijk personeel. Ontbijt was prima met uitzicht over de zee. Ligging centraal in Tarrafal.
- Julia (10/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): -
- Holger (9/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal, gutes Frühstück, sehr gute Lage
- Michael (9/5): Pekne, utulne apartmany na sopecnem ostrove Sao Nicolau. Pri check-inu nas uvital mily personal, uvedli nas do pokoju a - Na ubytovani se mi nejvice libila cistota pokoju. Take byl uzasny personal, velmi mily. Sice nebyly snidane v cene, ale take byly velmi vyborne a chutne. Lokalita 10 z 10. Na ubytovani se mi nelibilo to, ze u sprch byl velmi maly proud a take byly u dveri jakesi zvlastni zamky. Jinak bylo ubytovani take uzasne.
- jacky (8/5): Agréable séjour dans ce petit établissement sympathique.Tarrafalest une petite ville très relax ! - Accueil, emplacement, propreté, grand logement , sourires ! Rien
- Peter (6/5): -
- Iris (8/5): Gute Lage tolles Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse - Lage top -
- Jitka (5/5): -
- Fritz (8/5): - Gute, zentrale Lage !
Sehr ok ! Im Schlafzimmer fehlt Insektengitter; Fensterläden konnten de facto nicht geöffnet werden, weil Außenfixierung fehlt und sie dann dauernd wegen Wind anschlagen.

- Marie Anne (8/5): -
- Blanca Maria (10/5): -
- Isabelle (6/5): -
- Lukas (10/5): Luxury for a low price - Best described as "budget luxury". Breakfast and other services were execeptional. The apartment had a lot of space and nice amenities. The #1 in Tarrafal.
- MJ (9/5): - La cama, hacia mucho ruido al moverte, levantarte o acostarte
- Elisabetta (9/5): - Our room had a balcony with a view of the bay and the mountain, perfect when getting up or relaxing in the evening. The old-style furniture matches the photos.
- Jacqueline DURIS (8/5): - L'emplacement est idéal a coté de la plage avec 2 jeunes enfants, le personnel très gentil et attentionné, le ménage est fait le matin. L'appartement est très bien équipé mais... Les matelas 1 personne devraient vraiment être remplacés.
- Anja (7/5): -
- Helder (7/5): Lugar tranquilo - Da simpatia dos empregados e da localização.
- Leopold (8/5): -
- Birgit (9/5): - Viel Platz, freundliche Gastgeber und gute Lage. Für mich als Alleinreisende nicht gravierend, aber man konnte die Badezimmertür nicht richtig schließen.
- karine (8/5): -
- Silvia (9/5): - Le petit déjeuner avec vue Rien
- Juan Francisco (7/5): -
- Matthew (9/5): Great value hotel with friendly staff well-integrated into the local community - Breakfast was excellent, and the location is very convenient. The rooms were impeccably clean. The owner is well-connected locally, which facilitated pursuing the activities that brought me to São Nicolau. Edu's taxi service is especially good: he speaks good English and is very knowledgeable about the island. The breakfast was rather expensive at ten euros a day, and the charge for using a credit card was too high.
- Rosemarie (9/5): - Liegt direkt am schwarzen Strand. Das Personal war sehr nett. Frühstück konnte man für 6 Euro zubuchen. Man sitzt auf der Dachterrasse und kommt mit den anderen Gästen ins Gespräch. Das Appartement wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Bezahlung ist in Escudos oder Euro möglich. Sogar mit Visacard mit 10 Euro Gebühr. Es gibt auch einen Wäscheservice, eine Maschine voll kostet 10 Euro. Praktisch, wenn man mit kleinem Gepäck reist Das Bett hat leider bei jeder Bewegung geknarrt. Eine Wäscheleine auf dem Balkon wäre praktisch
- Lenka (8/5): -
- Josef (10/5): - Leider kein funktionierendes WLAN
- Weronika (9/5): - Eine tolle Unterkunft im capverdianischen Still unweit des Hafens, großes Apartament, das dazu einlädt, länger zu bleiben, sehr leckeres Frühstück mit selbst gemachtem Joghurt auf der Dachetage, seht freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal! Alles prima. Gerne wieder!
- Udo (10/5): - Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft.
Sao Nicolao ist eine traumhaft schöne Inseln und wir würden diese Unterkunft beim nächsten Besuch wieder buchen.
Vielen dank für alles.
- Marlene (9/5): Wir würden wiederkommen :) - Lage Top direkt am Strand, Personal sehr nett und Frühstück super. Geräumige Apartments, Fliegengitter. Plastikauflagen in und vor der Dusche. Küche schon etwas modrig und mit nur geringer Ausstattung. Uns fehlte zb. Salz, Spülmittel, Pfanne, Öl etc.
- Anna (8/5): Op mooie locatie - Een heerlijk ontbijt op het dakterras, al heb je zelf ook een keuken. In de keuken staat ook een bankje en een tafel met 2 stoelen.
In de slaapkamer is een goede airco. Het douchegordijntje is klein.
- BARBOSA DOS SANTOS (1/5): - o cafe da manha muito fraco, pagamos 650$ por pessoa O propreitario do hotel nos recebeu muito mal. devido a atraso de avião chegamos tarde e não encontramos ninguem na entrada . a recepção esta numa cozinha no segundo andar.
ele foi rispido
- Ilse (7/5): - Donkere kamers en inrichting
- valerie (10/5): Appartement pratique et propre - Bel emplacement. Appartement bien équipé.wifi faible au rdc mais ok dans les étages. Climatisation efficace.
- vitormbsantos (9/5): -
- João Paulo (6/5): - Localização
- Ana (8/5): Encantadora. - Localização, perto do mar. Simpatia do Sr. Gabriel.
- Emilie (7/5): -
- joelle (10/5): Super endroit - L'hôtel est très bien placé à 2 minutes de la mer à pied et à 5 minutes du centre de Tarrafal.
Très bon accueil, les appartements ont tout le confort. Ils sont nettoyés chaque jour.
Très bon petit déjeuner en terrasse.
Le personnel est accueillant et n'hésitez pas à faire appel à Edu le conducteur d'aluguer rattaché à l'établissement, il est super. Ras le lit fait un peu de bruit
- Jelena (8/5): Very good - Location Breakfast
- James (8/5): Excellent, will be the first place to check out if returning to Tarafall - Breakfast good but with limited choice.. Other than the lack of choice with the breakfast there is nothing we could fault.
- Graham (9/5): Superb - Large apartments well stocked great host Nothing
- Stefan (10/5): - Eine einfache aber sehr saubere Unterkunft. Sehr freundliches Personal und ein tolles Frühstück.
- JOHN W (10/5): Best hotel in its entire city - Wonderful hotel in a wonderful location overlooking the city and the city's beach and port. Friendly, efficient staffing team. Thanks especially for arrangements to pick my up at the port where I had arrived on a boat from another island.
- Kristiina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful hotel next to the beach, very helpful and friendly staff
- Francis (7/5): Good -
- Alain (10/5): - Nous avons apprécié l'accueil, l'attention du personnel et du propriétaire de l'hôtel. Joli balcon fleuri avec vue sur la mer. Petit déjeuner copieux et raffiné. Sérieux et ponctualité du chauffeur de la navette. Rien de négatif, une adresse à recommander !
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - The owner Gabriel and his staff was exceptionally helpfull. The hotel is very quiet, close to the center and beach. The breakfast was more then enough. The room was cleaned regularly. Tarrafal is a good place to discover the island. I would stay here an other time, too. It was everything OK.
- Jurga (7/5): Very convenient - Actually, there are not so many choices where to stay in Tarrafal, Edificio Magico is one of the more convenient. It is an oldish, bit tired place, but everything works well and is clean. I had apartments with a kitchenette, so it is possible to make your own meals. They also provide breakfast – modest but adequate and the breakfast room is on the terrace with a sea view. Service is very friendly and helpful. Location is unbeatable – practically in the centre (though there is not much of Tarrafal anyway) and practically on the beach. There could have been more plates in the kitchenette.
- El (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ann (8/5): very comfortable, good location - the friendliness of the staff,the availability of breakfast on site! the different keys to get into the hotel and your room! maybe colour code the keys for ease of entry!
- Janne (8/5): Very good -
- Mohammed (5/5): Passable -
- John (10/5): Edificio Magico ... is Magical! - Edificio Magico was the perfect introduction for me to Tarrafal de São Nicolau Island. The entire team were so professional, and my apartment was perfect, inside and outside on the balcony with its gorgeous panoramic view. The location on the beach in the center of the city was ideal - with easy walks to restaurants, shopping, museums, stadiums and of course along the coast itself. Thanks also for providing suggestions for hiking and touring Sao Nicolau Island.
- David (8/5): B&B style overlooking the beach - Nice family style hotel with a god breakfast (but not included in the tariff).
