Hotel Savana

Cabo Verde


This startlingly yellow, renovated colonial building dressed up in showy pink bougainvillea is a comfortable base. The rooms are simple but well-equipped, with air-con, fridge and a small desk and chair. The pricier suites come with sea vistas. There's a plunge pool in the inner courtyard.
