I also appreciated the hosts, both Sonia and Anselmo were super helpful with everything, from my check-in to helping me with information of the islands, and their breakfast was great for me since I don't like waking up too early to go look for food 😅. All in all, a great stay!

    Nilsa was such a great host! She even came to meet me at the airport, and was very helpful anytime I had a question or query. The house is on a small uphill, but very easy to access from the ferry and central. I definitely want to come back, not only to Mindelo - but to Vila Mira Mar.! Thank you! x

    I loved that the location is in the centre of the city or "morada". It was close to everything I needed. You are a 2 minute walk from 2 bakeries, as well as a bus various shops, restaurants, markets, entertainment and so much more. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking to explore Mindelo on foot, and have a beautiful and private home to escape back to afterwards.
