Very spacious and clean apartment with bedroom and separate lounge/kitchen area in a quiet area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was very lucky to have an apartment with a balcony which had a sea view and from which I could also watch the sunset. There's a mini market a few minutes walk away and a larger supermarket ten minutes away in Praia Shopping. In addition, there are also a number of restaurants and cafes near to the apartment. The walk to Quebra Canela beach took me just over ten minutes. I loved the beach - it was pretty quiet on weekdays, busier on the weekends when local people come down for a swim, although, by no means overcrowded. Quebra Cabana is just above the beach - they do an excellent cup of coffee and have delicious food on offer as well. I'll definitely be staying at this apartment again.

I stayed in apt 104. It's a very spacious apartment and there is a view of the sea from the balcony. The kitchen is well equipped with a full sized stove, etc. The bed is very comfortable. Bathroom is rather small and shower cubicle is tiny. Almost impossible to move around without bashing my arms on the walls.
Praiano is in a quiet area, except for the street dogs that bark a lot. Earplugs recommended if your room faces the street. It's a 10 minute walk to Praia Shopping which has a supermarket with very reasonable prices. There are also a few fast food outlets and an outdoor bar where a pint of Strella is 200ESC or €2. It is a good 30minute walk into Plateau and the historic centre but only €2 by taxi. Maybe 20 minute walk to Prianha beach.
The hotel is extremely clean and very secure and the staff are very helpful and all speak English. Free wifi works very well. I have enjoyed my stay here.

This is a block of apartments. Our apartment had a bedroom + a living room combined with a kitchen. The rooms are big, modern, clean and comfortable. Both rooms have air-conditioning units. The living room has a TV. The wifi signal was Ok and the allocated 500 MB traffic was more than enough for me for a one-night stay. The bathroom is very small (considering the size of the apartment) and not very clean (if you spread some water on the flow you will soon notice smell from previous guests who were not good “snipers”). The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is Ok, close to sea, other hotels and nice private villas but there are some construction sites nearby – so some noise is present. There is a small mini-market nearby and a walk to the big supermarket takes about 10 minutes. The closest beach (black sand) Quebra Canela is a 15 minutes walk in the same direction as the supermarket. The room cost is a bit high comparing to other islands bus Santiago is generally more expensive. 8 km to the airport – 800 CVE.
