Located around 1.8 km from Diogo Alfonso Statue, the guest house is also 11 km away from Monte Verde Natural Park. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor pool. It was a fantastic experience, getting to know Lina and Victor up close, we were welcomed like family. We felt at home. Lina and Victor's friendliness is always available to help, provide information about the island, the best restaurants and places to visit. Victor took us for a walk around the island, he was our guide. Some fantastic people. The couple's children were also very friendly. We will definitely have to go back on vacation

Located just 1.2 km from Praia Da Laginha, As Hortênsias provides accommodation in Mindelo with access to a rooftop pool, a garden, as well as a 24-hour front desk. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Everything was perfect from location, to friendliness of staff and the room was way bigger than expected. Great to have a little pool on the roof to refresh after a day of walking or visiting the city. We can more than recommend this place for a few days.

Casa JPi is located on the seafront in São Pedro, 100 metres from Sao Pedro Beach and 12 km from Torre de Belem. Featuring full-day security, this property also has a restaurant and a sun terrace. The guest house features family rooms. Casa JPi is a home away from home. We loved our time here. Was a great way to relax in to island life ! JP is an exceptional host, no request too big or small. Really felt well taken care of and welcomed. He met our request for afternoon tea on day when I was craving some tea and cake, as well as picking us up from various locations including the airport and a restaurant. If you don’t manage to reserve the room with the balcony, the view from the shared balcony on the top floor is amazing and you’ll probably get to meet and chat with the other nice guests staying there. Do note that private bathroom doesn’t mean en suite. The place is clean and comfortable and the location is amazing, 1 minute walk from the beach.

Offering a terrace and views of the sea, Maderal is set in Mindelo in the Sao Vicente Region. Free private parking is available on site.

Some rooms feature a seating area where you can relax. Some units include views of the mountain or city. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer. Maderal features free WiFi . Very clean place with comfortable bed. Location is in a quiet area, about 20 mins walking distance from the ferry and 10 mins to the center. Filomena, the owner, is amazing!! We were only there for one night before our ferry to Santo Antão but when we went back to Sao Vicente she let us leave our luggage there while we explored the city and then let us take a shower!! Highly recommend!

The homestay offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

Popular points of interest near the homestay include Praia Da Laginha, Torre de Belem and Capvertdesign Artesanato. Cesària Evora Airport is 10 km from the property. Fabulous place to stay in Mindelo. Safe neighborhood and close to the center (10 min walk). The actual property is a room with ensuite bathroom inside a bigger apartment where also family lives on the premises. The kitchen and living room are shared. The room is big, clean and comfortable. Great breakfast included in the price. Also for a modest extra charge it's possible to eat dinner/late lunch with the family. This is highly recommended as the most of Mindelo restaurants are closed during daytime and the restaurant food is mostly mediocre anyway. The homemade dinners are freshly prepared and tasty, excellent value for money. The owner Antonio is very helpful and a great source of local advise and knowledge. Many thanks to the owner for helping me with many practical tasks while in Mindelo, it would take me a lot more time and effort to figure it out by myself. Would not hesitate to stay here again. If you are in Mindelo, look no further.

Capvertdesign Artesanato is 2 km from the homestay, while Diogo Alfonso Statue is 2.2 km away. Cesària Evora Airport is 10 km from the property. Kind host who picked us up twice at the ferry terminal, much appreciated especially the time our boat arrived late at night. Big shared apartment with a common kitchen, but individual cutlery/pots assigned to each room. Great location close to the beach and ferry terminal
