THE LOUNGE

The lounge is a comfortable space overlooking the terrace and the pool. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee, afternoon tea, or a drink. Meals can also be served in the lounge. In addition to its calming view of the pool, this place is truly the heart of the house, where guests meet to catch up, greet each other, and share friendly moments.

We particularly appreciate highlighting Cape Verdean artists through a collection of local artworks displayed in the lounge and throughout the hotel.

The carefully selected paintings reflect the richness of Cape Verdean culture and soul. Each artwork tells a story, creating a warm and inspiring atmosphere where our guests can immerse themselves in the unique ambiance of São Vicente while relaxing.

DISCONNECT IN A QUIET SPACE

In the atrium, you will discover our small multilingual library. We have carefully curated a selection of books in various languages, including novels that are perfect for disconnecting from everyday life, as well as works dedicated to exploring Cape Verdean culture.

Whether you want to immerse yourself in a captivating fiction or learn more about the history and traditions of São Vicente and Cape Verde, you will find something to satisfy your curiosity and enrich your moments of relaxation.

As the saying goes, "A house without books is like a body without a soul." We are very happy to welcome guests who wish to borrow a book from our library and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in our atrium.

Casamarel, luxury hotelThis is a first rate hotel! The staff is absolutely lovely and the rooms have spared no expense. The view over the harbor is gorgeous, the breakfast excellent and the dinner was fine. We were lucky to eat outside overlooking the harbor when some Cape Verdian musicians were playing beside the pool.

Heerlijk eten op een prachtig terrasWe hebben bij casamarel eens iets anders gegeten dan de verder ook lekkere lokale gerechten. Het was gewoon leuk om eens iets anders te eten: We hadden humus met wortel- en komkommersticks, een taboulee met verse kruiden en tomaten. Daarna hadden we allebei "a caril", een kipcurry en een groentecurry.
