Peacock Place
About the home
We stayed in this villa before we bought and it was the first time we had enjoyed a self catering holiday. It had been someone's main home with all those little extras, as well as having one of the best locations in Murdeira.
What's to do - sunbathe (roof terrace overlooking ocean with chaise lounges), relax in a hammock, swim (nearest small beach 80m away and swimming pool 200 m), eat al fresco (teak dining tables on roof terrace in outdoor dining room and front terrace), read books, play tennis, fish from the shore, snorkel, listen to music , watch TV(cable TV)/DVDs or the stars, or live the life of a beachcomber but with just about as many mod cons as are possible.
The grocery store is close (200 m) - it sells basic stuff, and if you don't want to cook you have the possibility of all or some meals in the ocean-front restaurant next to the swimming pool. For those that like wind surfing, surfing, kite surfing, diving, there is plenty of room to store your kit, and washing lines to dry things out.

Extra bedroom on first floor leads off balcony from principal bedroom, and this has a single bed in it. When not in use it can be used as a store room for suitcases etc. In 2007 and 2010 we sent a container of furniture, fittings, china and kitchen equipment to Sal, to equip the villa like home. Because of house design with tall ceilings and windows on three sides, it keeps cool by environmental cooling. Aircon in 3 bedrooms. Extra charge for use.
Further details outdoors:
There are two balconies on first floor, as well as large roof terrace overlooking the ocean, with walls on three sides. On the garden level, there is a paved terrace, and outdoor shaded dining room which is closed on three sides, with views to the sea.
By the main large communal pool, there are children's pools. Boules set, card games supplied. Oleanders, hibiscus, papaya, palm trees in garden. Warm shaded outdoor dining area and sunny roof terrace face the sea.
On the roof terrace there are 4 chaise lounges (of which 2 are teak), teak bench, and 2 teak tables and sun umbrella. On the patio there is a table for 6, and two of the teak dining chairs turn into steamers for sunbathing at the ground floor level. Outside the kitchen there is an outdoor shower (useful when you come in sandy from the sea), an outdoor sink (very useful for preparing fish).
Further details
Rentals are for 7 days or more. We welcome adults and children over 7. Also available sea-front villa with 2 bedrooms facing ocean, accommodating 4 people, just 200 m away.
The villa is like staying in someone's home, except they are not there. You will find that there will be some food and drink there upon arrival which you are welcome to use and replenish. We can arrange transfers from airport, visas, car hire, free starter packs, wine delivery and the name of a very good local taxi driver who speaks English and knows the island well.

The Barlavento Islands / Sal Island region
Year round sunshine in the Cape Verde Islands. Less than 6 hours direct flight from the UK. Ex Portuguese colony, now independent and dependent on tourism.
The reason Sal has grown as a tourist destination over the years is its wonderful sandy beaches, dry climate, warm temperatures, abundant fish and friendly people. For a laid-back holiday, where you can relax, this is the place. Only 10 minutes transfer time from airport to the villa.
The Murdeira area
Murdeira Bay is on the west coast of Sal. It is the first resort of its type to be completed in the Cape Verde Islands and as such benefits from being completed and generally unaffected by building work which is going on in some of Sal. With water storage and a generator, roads, plants and services in place it is in a unique quiet position.
Just 10 minutes away is Santa Maria, the tourist town with numerous bars, restaurants. Or Espargos, the capital of Sal.

Guestbook for Peacock Place
"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Everything you need is there. You've thought of everything. The car was excellent; we went off on dirt tracks and found little bays. We'd sit up on the terrace in the evening watching the sun go down - it was very quiet. My husband fished from the shore and caught a red mullet and an eel. He was very happy fishing. Murdeira is a very nice spot. It's far enough from the airport and far enough from Santa Maria." Evelyn from Surrey
"We had a fantastic holiday, very stress free. It all worked so well. We'd definitely go back. We all wanted to stay for longer, even the youngsters. The house was wonderful. I've been all over the world and never had one that well equipped." - Nicola from Warwickshire
" The villa and location were fantastic. Extremely well equipped villa and it felt really homely, too. We had a lovely relaxing time. Beautifully clean sea, though, and great waves. Constant temperature of about 24 C was great. I swam in the pool which was always empty. Only ventured as far as Santa Maria one day for lunch and swam amongst surfers. Much preferred the tranquillity of Murdeira. So happy at villa that we didn't explore any more of the island. Jenny from Lincolnshire
"Lovely home. You could not have asked for anything more. Sal I found quite different. At the moment I'm really missing it. There is something about it - I want to go back" Diane from Lancashire
