My partner and I stayed at Casa Da Djedja for 3 nights when landing in Sao Vicente and liked it so much that we booked it for another 2 nights when coming back to Mindelo to take our flight as we returned from Santa Antao. The place is an island of paradise in Mindelo, with its elegant architecture, white walls and beautiful little garden in the common area. The staff is absolutely lovely and helped us find our bearings on the island.

If you love diving and snorkelling, it's a paradise. I got my first open water diver license while staying in Mindelo. And there's always something going on in the city. Full of activities and cultural things to enjoy!

I liked the atmosphere and vibrance of the city.
I liked the atmosphere and vibrance of the city. Everywhere at night is live music. During the day you can walk around town or do an island tour or relax at Laguinha Beach. At night its best you take a taxi everywhere you go, because it can get a little sketchy. The taxi's are 2 euro's per ride.
Don't forget Mindelo is a city with it's own problems. There are a lot of homeless people, junks and other people who want something. Especially when you are a tourist. You have to find your way.
Nice places to eat: Casa Cafe Mindelo, La Pergola, Nautilus (these are all pretty touristic)
Nice cafe: Jazzy Bird
I would say, maximum of 7 days is enough.

Mindelo is a city with a vibe.
Mindelo is a city with a vibe. Its vibrant, full of colours and lovely people. I was there during the annual carnival -- a must see. But Sao Vicente, Mindelo, is a place where you can mingle and jingle at the same time.
I loved the different arts on the streets. And of course Cesera Evoro's house.
Mindelo is full of artists -- musicians most of all.

Mindelo is a place that you can like or not be too sure...
Mindelo is a place that you can like or not be too sure about. I liked it. It was a bit rough edged,, but more interesting and lively than Praia. The exhibit on Cesaria Evora in the museum was interesting. Buy some CDs- you won't regret it! Some of the restaurants are too European and cater to the yachtie crowd- find ones that are more Verdean. The markets are interesting- be sure to go into the fish market. Walk the streets and look at the wall murals and architecture. Go into the artisan area. I wan't there on a weekend- so live music was less easy to find, but in Cafe Mindelo you can listen to it.

It is not too big so it's easy to get around.
It is not too big so it's easy to get around. You have an accessable beach nearby, also great for snorkelling. The best places to eat need some exploring, ask other travellers who have been around for longer. Watch out for pickpockets. Was a major problem now.
Position of the hotel to sea. I like that its clean NOT like Praia which has garbage issues and sewage flowing down the main road occasionally in Palmarejo .They take care of their sea life like the turtles, the fishermen were concerned about the plastic, somehow it hasn't occurred to Santiago to take care of their island. The lack of understanding that we are all connected, taking care of the environment is taking care of ourselves has not happened in Santiago.
Carlos the manager was a very friendly and helpful manager. He showed us how everything worked and where to go to purchase supplies. The apartment had an amazing view over Mindelo, with easy parking in front. It was equipt with kitchen utensils, coffee pot and washing machine. The beds were very comfortable and sitting/dining room family friendly. There was even a very good grocery store in the same building as the apartment. All worked out well.
The staff was exceptionally friendly. The help and extra’s they provided was incredible. Also the location right in the middle heart of Mindelo. Clean rooms have all western standards (rainshower, soap miniatures, minibar, safe, tv with Netflix etc). The breakfast offers a wide variety of delicious things, both local and international. And don’t forget about the rooftop with hot tub! Amazing place, would definately recommend.
The room was clean and big. There was also a balcony. The bathroom was super clean. The owner was really friendly and the breakfast she prepared was great too.
Even if the place is not located in the center of Mindelo, it is not far by foot and one can also take a bus a few meters from the house next to a nice bar/restaurant and reach the center of the city in a few minutes (for 40 cents!).
I stayed here for two nights. On my way to Santa Antao and then on my way back. A very comfortable and pleasant place. Clean rooms. Lovely Cape Verdean women who manage the hotel. Very good breakfast that can be taken either indoors or in an interior courtyard. They were very helpful in making taxi arrangements, restaurants and directing me to get a Covid test.
The hotel is a beautiful colonial house with a patio at the center and a small pool.
The staff is welcoming and the kitchen ladies are really nice!
The room was very comfortable and clean.
At the last day, as we were leaving really early they were really kind and prepared us a breakfast sooner than scheduled.
Very quiet and comfortable apartment at short walking distance from the harbour and about anything else in Mindelo. Marvelous terrace with seating and dining area is a great plus. Excellent bedding and well equipped kitchen. Rafael, his mother Rita, and his uncle Alexandre are very helpful and informative.
This place is peaceful the rooms are spread apart which provides privacy solid walls, in the room you will have everything you need, excellent customer service,
the food is good here but the location is perfect a lot of great places near by and it a recommendation to anyone coming to são Vicente .
Very big room (47 m2).
Friendly lady at the reception but also during breakfast. I ate a very good cachupa, served with 2 eggs above.
We also appreciate that our delay of one day at arrival was not charged, due to the LUXAIR which couldn’t land at Mindelo airport in time.
Great location on a square on the waterfront. Cafe offered local live music after 8PM, which was fantastic. Rooms are basic, but good value for the cost, including a sufficient breakfast. <10 minute walk to ferry. ~5 minute walk to other nice restaurants in Mindelo.
The staff at the property was really super nice, Mrs Caurina told us a bit about the history of Cabo Verde and Mindelo and served us the best breakfast we had in our trip. The rooms were nice and clean and the location is very central.
Casa Djedja is an excellent lodging option in the heart of Mindelo. The staff are truly wonderful and welcoming. The breakfast was the best in São Vicente. The location allows for ease of walking to all major points in the city.
The house is very comfortable and located a maximum 20 minute walk from anything you'd want to visit in Mindelo - just bear in mind you'll be walking uphill to come back in the evening. The room is huge is very comfortable.
Our hosts were beyond welcoming and helpful, they made us feel like Mindelo is home. The place is comfortable and has everything necessary for an enjoyable stay (and the terrace is great). We will be back, deus quiser :)
