Neighbourhood information

We invite you to spend some quality time under the sun of Cape Verde, archipelago of 10 islands located 300 miles off the Senegal coast. This young State, former Portuguese colony, independent since 1975, is becoming the new destination for trekking, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, diving, canyoning and game fishing. Mindelo, the cultural and artistic capital, at the crossroad of three continents, is famous for its joyful way of life, its famous Carnival, its music, its dances, its singings such as "Morna" and "Coladera", known worldwide thanks to the famous Césaria Evora. From our small hotel you will have one of the most beautiful views in town. You will dominate the whole city, from the Porto Grande bay, known as one of the most beautiful in the world, to the Monte Cara. Also, facing, is the island of Santo Antão, from which you won't miss to discover the fantastic landscapes and abysses through the "Estrada da Corda" (rope road).
