Wagner Barros
The Residence Bia d’Olavo is a project in honour of the Mother and Mother in Law of the owners of the apartments, Mrs. Maria (Bia) Luisa Lopes, who lived all her life for her children and husband as well as to her job of housekeeping and hosting at Hotel Morabeza for long years. By that time, every time Mrs Bia would be called for a host out of her regular working hours, she would take her son to help her and this was how the love for hospitality and the art of welcoming the famous “Morabeza” was born. Love and feeling, which, were part of the reason for the creation of this project. The Residence is a total of four apartments fully furnished and equipped to offer a pleasant and comfortable stay to guests from the heart of Santa Maria. All apartments have one room for Single or Double occupancy, one bathroom, one kitchenette duly equipped. All the units offer as well, Air Cond in the major divisions, a Smart TV with access to local and international Channels as well as a variety of contends through the applications available and Wireless Internet connection.
My name is Wagner, I am Cape Verdean, born and raised in Santa Maria and will be very happy to have you at my "home" :) I have lived abroad for a while but now I am back to my homeland and city and beside some freelancer works as a Dj and Graphic Designer, I am hosting guests from all over the world at my new project - Residencial Bia D'Olaf. It will be a pleasure to welcome you at the Residencial as well as to give you some tips what to do, where to eat and provide you with any furhter information you might need. Feel free to "bother".
Even though you will be in the city center, you will feel the neighborhood is really quite. There are a couple of grocery stores at the area, one just next door, and several nice Restaurants and Bars. Don't know how to get to the Apartment: ask your driver to drop you at Residencial Bia d'Olaf next to Polivalente and Cafe Crioulo, ou take our private transfer service. We will be happy to welcome you from the moment you first step in to the island... :)
