Casas do Sol is a lovely little tourist village overlooking the ocean, with a stunning location. The island of Brava is visible right before your eyes, and there is an easily accessible black sand beach just a short walk down a series of staircases along the cliff side. The hotel boasts a refreshing pool, but be aware that it’s often full of children from the village whose parents pay to use the pool. The rooms are well-equipped with a kitchenette, but they could use a fresh coat of paint as the walls were very scuffed up. Overall this was a great stay with nice, powerful A/C, a good variety of breakfast options, and in close proximity to both the airport and the center of the village. The staff were excellent and friendly, and even offered to drive me to the airport free of charge. For those arriving, make sure you don’t get taken advantage of by taxi drivers at the airport - pay a maximum of 300 escudos for the ride to this hotel. Also, if you are looking for a tour to Fogo, I went with Qualitur who run daily trips to the volcano for a very reasonable 3000 escudos (compared to a private taxi at 10000).
