Where It All Began
Casa Petit Pays began as a childhood dream. Growing up in Cabo Verde and later building a life in Switzerland, its founder never stopped thinking about Tarrafal—the place of family holidays, endless summer days, and cherished memories by the sea. Years later, that dream became a reality: a home designed to celebrate the beauty, culture, and warmth of the island.
Today, Casa Petit Pays welcomes travelers from around the world, inviting them to experience the same sense of belonging and connection that inspired its creation.
Relax Indoors, Explore Outdoors
Enjoy the best of island living, from peaceful interiors designed for rest and inspiration to endless outdoor experiences under the Cabo Verde sun.
Spend your days exploring, surfing, hiking, or simply unwinding by the sea before returning to the comfort of Casa Petit Pays.

"Casa Petit Pays is the realization of a lifelong dream. Growing up, Tarrafal was a place of joy, family, and unforgettable memories. Even while living abroad, I always carried the dream of returning home and creating a place where others could experience the beauty, warmth, and spirit of Cabo Verde. I hope Casa Petit Pays feels not just like a place to stay, but a place to belong."
