About

About Cabo Libre Apartments

Cabo Libre Apartments is a small collection of twelve apartments across two houses in the centre of Santa Maria — Casa da Silvia and Casa Sadat — each named after one of the Cape Verdean islands. It is built for people who want more than a hotel room: your own kitchen, your own terrace, your own rhythm — with a host who lives around the corner.

You are a short walk from the beach, the pier, the market and the best tables in town. Everything else on Sal — salt craters, the Blue Eye, kite beaches, wellness, excursions — is a taxi ride away, and Rainer will help you arrange it.

Cabo Libre Apartments offers twelve self-catering apartments in Santa Maria on Sal Island, Cape Verde, spread over two houses: Casa da Silvia and Casa Sadat. Every apartment has a full kitchen, dining area, living space, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a Smart TV, a safe and its own balcony or terrace.

Both houses are designed around slow, easy island living: bright rooms, natural materials, shaded outdoor space and a location that lets you leave the car keys behind. Groceries, restaurants, bars, ATMs and a pharmacy are all within a few hundred metres.

Because you book directly with the host, there is no booking commission and no middleman. You contact Rainer, agree the dates and pay the accommodation owner directly.

Your host, Rainer

Host & owner, Cabo Libre

Verified Host

Rainer runs Cabo Libre Apartments in the middle of Santa Maria and welcomes every guest personally. He knows the island the way only someone who lives here does — which beach is calm today, which restaurant is worth the walk, which driver to call for the airport.

Guests book directly with him. No platform in between, no commission, no waiting for a call centre — just a WhatsApp message and a real answer from someone on the island.
