This fabulous one-bedroom penthouse is in the very centre of the thriving tourist capital of Sal, Santa Maria. With views of the east and west coastlines, it overlooks the walkway between the main market and clothes market, so is the perfect place to watch the world go by. It is just 300 metres from Santa Maria's wonderful beach, and 180 metres from the market.

Offering over 70 square metres of versatile space, this Italian designed apartment is in a very well-maintained and managed building that is both clean and secure. It has had a complete redecoration, taking care of any repairs, in the last 12 months. From the road, you would never guess that such a fabulous penthouse was above you. The apartment and its covered balcony is unoverlooked, quiet, private and with good neighbours.

The full-furnished accommodation includes:
- Large open plan living space
- Vaulted wooden ceilings and tiled floors
- Covered, airy south-facing balcony with spectacular views and good ventilation
- Fitted kitchen along one wall including a gas hob, built-in oven, extractor, American style fridge/freezer, sink, fitted microwave and ample cupboards and drawers. Plenty of space and wiring for additional appliances such as a washing machine and dishwasher.
- Fabulous hidden storage behind the entry door, floor to ceiling, with lockable doors behind a mirror (ideal for storing owners' possessions if the apartment is rented out)
- Open wooden staircase to a mezzanine with porthole windows, providing extra storage or a single sleeping space
- A fully tiled bathroom fitted with a large walk-in tiled shower, toilet, bidet and sink, large boiler, with window for light and ventilation.

With such a large footprint, the internal accommodation could easily be changed to add a larger mezzanine, shelving, and possibly a second bedroom.

Giving the correct Alojamento Complimentar licence, this could make an ideal short-term rental unit for tourists, but has sufficient space for year-round living.

Central Santa Maria is THE investment hot spot of Cabo Verde. With the highest number of visitors for tourism amongst the islands, it is the holiday heart of the islands with hundreds of restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and the famous fishing pier, currently being reconstructed and expanded. With its glorious safe swimming beach and watersports galore and a central pedestrianised street at its heart, Santa Maria on Sal provides excellent investment potential and a thriving, lively place to live.
