Vila Verde T3 townhouses now come onto the market VERY rarely, so Casa Verde is proud to present this 3-bedroom, semi-detached house in the Yucca community, very close to Melia Laguna and Bikini Beach, with its safe year-round swimming and snorkelling, miles of coral sands and plenty of bars and restaurants. Closer to home, Vila Verde has excellent facilities including a well-stocked supermarket, several restaurants, a coffee shop and bars, 24-hour security, private parking as well as a free, regular shuttle bus to and from Santa Maria, Ponta Preta beach and Espargos.

Anyone seeking a home - or home away from home in Cabo Verde (rather than just a small apartment for the odd holiday) should certainly consider a townhouse. Easily sleeping 8 or even more, Vila Verde townhouses are very well constructed, spacious, with split levels and plenty of outside space; ideal for families or couples seeking that bit more space. They also have very low condo fees when compared to apartments that can be much smaller. This spacious Yucca townhouse has condo fees of c. 1,400 Euros a year, whereas - in hotel resorts just across a cobbled street - you could pay more for a 50m² apartment.

Sold fully furnished and equipped, with air conditioning and flyscreens, this townhouse features:
- Entry hall with downstairs bathroom/cloakroom on entry
- Dining room with table and 6 dining chairs
- Fully fitted kitchen, with floor and eye level units, washing machine, American-style fridge-freezer, built in oven and induction hob, extractor, sink etc

Open short set of stairs down to
- huge lounge with three double sofas (one being a sofabed), coffee table
- voile curtains, double glazed patio doors, shutters with fly screens

leading out to
- sunny terrace with outdoor glass-topped dining table and 6 chairs, with palm-frond covered pergola
- small rear garden leading straight out, on level pedestrian-only paths through the aloe and palm tropical gardens, and large pool complex complete with gym and massage facilities

There are some superficial décor matters to take care of on the ground floor, especially in the dining room and outside porch, but nothing structural to the best of our knowledge. A historic water leak has been repaired, but the cosmetic damage to the walls, some plaster cracks and holes, need attention.

Short flights of stairs with aluminium balustrades separate the next three floors, each of which houses the sleeping quarters. This clever split-level design ensures maximum privacy and quiet for each of the room.
