A nice guesthouse for our two night stay in Mindelo. The hosts are very welcoming and we enjoyed our large room. The breakfast was plentiful and we were able to try many local treats. There's ample parking outside if you have a rental.

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.

Casa TIANA, a property with a garden, is set in Mindelo, 700 metres from Torre de Belem, 700 metres from Capvertdesign Artesanato, as well as 1.4 km from Diogo Alfonso Statue. It is situated 800 metres from Praia Da Laginha and features full-day security. The homestay has family rooms. Close to the port and just in the center of Mindelo. Shops and restaurants are near. The area is safe. A lot of tourists in the area compared to the airbnb we stayed a little south of the market square, there are a lot of shady areas in there. Anyway, Raquel was fantastic with information. Bed was ok and wide. Opened windows and a fan to keep us cool at night. Internet was fast enough.
