Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Casa Jardim di Sol suits travellers who want a small, personal base in Praia rather than a big hotel. The yellow house in Palmarejo has a pool terrace with views over the city and tastefully furnished shared rooms, and guests keep coming back to the same points: a generous breakfast built on local produce, staff who pack breakfasts for early departures and order taxis, and rooms that feel clean and new. The trade-offs are the location and the walls. Palmarejo is a quiet residential area, so the centre and most restaurants are a taxi ride away, and the hotel has no restaurant of its own in the evening. Ground-floor rooms near the reception pick up noise, and hot water can be slow to arrive, as it often is in Praia. The house has no number or sign on the street, so drivers sometimes need directions. For a few calm nights between islands it works well; anyone who wants to stroll out to dinner is better off closer to the centre.
- After the staff, breakfast is what guests mention most often. They describe it as plentiful and varied, with local specialities and homemade touches such as jams, and several note that it changes from day to day.
- Guests praise the team almost unanimously as friendly and attentive, and several guests mention the manager and individual receptionists by name. Staff have packed breakfasts for guests leaving before dawn, arranged late check-outs and ordered taxis.
- Palmarejo is residential, and many guests point out that the centre and most restaurants are too far to walk to comfortably, especially in the evening. The nearest beach is about 15 minutes away on foot; for everything else guests take a taxi, which staff are happy to order and which guests describe as inexpensive.
- Several guests found the sound insulation weak, especially in ground-floor rooms next to the reception, where doors and voices carry in the morning. Others mention the pool filter at night and dogs and roosters in the neighbourhood.
