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.

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.

At the homestay, every unit includes a wardrobe. At the homestay, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels.

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. The location was fabulous.... Less than 5 minutes walk to the beach.... 10 minutes walk to the ferry terminal and 15mins walk to the city centre passed the beautiful marina. Umberto was a true gentleman, contact with him was outstanding, he sent me his number to WhatsApp, he was generous enough to pick me up from the ferry terminal when I arrived. Showed me around the area. Gave me key tips where to go what to eat etc. Arranged my taxi for a early flight and got me a discount. The property itself was far better than the photos. It's basically a very nice 3 bedroom apartment. However it spilt into 3 rooms. Double with private bathroom, and 2 twin rooms with a shared bathroom. The apartment is secure and on the 2nd floor. A outside locked gate, locked front door then a apartment door, plus a additional lock on your own private room. The apartment has a shared kitchen, you get your own cupboard with a key to get your rooms own dishes, pots and pans to use on the stove top and oven.large living area. Really great balcony with a view of th beach and mountains to watch the sunset. I stayed for 6 nights and if I was to return to mindelo I'd 100% return and stay again. The price was also unbelievable.
