Characterful 4-bed house with solar power for rent in Bissau

Set behind a shaded entrance courtyard graced by two mature mango trees, this 180 m² house in Bissau's tranquil Bairro de Penha neighbourhood offers comfortable, practical living for an international family or senior professional household. Built in 1998 and recently refurbished, the property provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms with modern fittings, and a spacious tiled living and dining area. A covered rear terrace is perfect for evening dining. Crucially, the house is equipped with a rooftop solar panel array and a battery bank that supplies reliable electricity around the clock, bypassing Bissau's intermittent grid. A 5,000-litre rooftop water tank ensures supply continuity. The enclosed compound perimeter offers privacy and security. Bairro de Penha is a quiet, green neighbourhood popular with diplomatic households, close to the main ministries and international organisations.
