Pretty villa on the island of Maio Cape Verde with panoramic views of Atlantic

We ended our Cape Verde island hopping trip on the amazing island Maio. After a few active weeks, we wanted to end our holiday with a very relaxing few days and Patricia's holiday house was everything we wished for. Patricia is very friendly and super helpful. She knows the island so well and she even arranged a taxi for us from and to the airport. The house is very spacious and there are a lot of places to relax and hang out and have a good time. The pool is amazing and you really don't even need to leave the property in order to have a good time, but in case you want to, there is a wonderful beach very close by with (almost) no one else. Would highly recommend this stay!

A truly wonderful Villa, in a mesmeric setting. Patricia’s help, guidance and communication all first rate.

Gorgeous house, patio, pool, views of the ocean. Perfect location to explore the town and beaches. Patricia and her husband were very friendly and helpful hosts. We loved our stay!

If you are looking for somewhere to completely disconnect this is THE place ! Casa Lemon is a very special villa managed by very special people. Care and thought has been taken in every detail - from the outside terraces to the bedroom decoration. Maio is a magical island that amazingly seems still untouched by modern day tourism. We spent two weeks with a mix of lying by the pool and exploring the island - this island is for the adventurous though and those who like finding their own way. We personally took three flights to get there - as there is a weekly flight or boat from the main island Praia that takes 15minutes. Patricia was very helpful in giving us help on booking this though and so nothing was an issue. There was also a lovely housekeeper who looked after us and offered home cooked meals delivered to the terrace if requested. The villa was clean and inviting, there are some bugs at night so I would come prepared with mosquito spray :) you will have trouble finding it on the island - and I would say come prepared with essentials as the beauty of Maio is it is limited for tourist shops and big shopping centres! When we stayed the internet had some issues and we didn't find it to be 500mpbs but hopefully you go for a holiday and not to look at emails :). Patricia was very helpful also in trying to get it fixed. We also got confused in the listing that the pool was private just for casa lemon - but it is shared between another villa that Patricia hosts also. This also was not a problem though as the pool area is large enough to share and you won't be disappointed by the view ! Honestly this is a gem of a find, we feel very luck to have stayed and discovered also the magic of Maio. It is worth the journey and we will be back!
