The skies of Sao Vicente are dramatically pierced by the cocoa peaks of mountain ranges. The island is considered the birthplace of many styles of Cape Verdean music, and revelers gather to howl at the moon during the annual beach music festival in Baía das Gatas. With its gorgeous colonial-inspired architecture, the harbor city of Mindelo is perfect for self-guided walking tours, particularly the Praça Nova quarter and the Rua Libertadores d'Africa.

I booked this hotel for 3 nights for more than 2 months in advance. A couple of days before we were due to arrive I received an email from the hotel stating that we could no longer stay due to some booking system mix-up. I guess something like this can happen occasionally, but the short notice and lack of customer service was a terrible experience (e.g. they didn't offer to help find alternative accommodation until I expressed my displeasure at the situation). Good luck if you book here.

The Aquiles Eco Hotel, designed by Ramoscastellano Arquitectos, reflects in its fullness and essence the ecological philosophy of total environmental integration. The building is in concrete and certified wood, simple, raw and genuine. The rooms are basic and modern, facing the village, equipped to satisfy your basic needs. Experience the real cabo verdian lifestyle in the fishermen village of Sao Pedro. 12 rooms and a seaview suite; an ideal starting point to discover the beauties of the island. The hotel is one minute walking distance from a huge sandy beach and turquoise water where you can go swimming with seaturtles, or fish with the fisherman of the village in their colored wooden boats. If you want to experience the real life in capeverdean villages, come visit us.
Pictures are much better that real there is almost no service (no possibility to get breakfast before 0830 for example) the equipment is not what is stated (no safe, wifi is free but limited) the hotel manager recommends friends (taxi, car tenal) who overcharge

Casa Cafe Mindelo is a city touristic project in Mindelo, a town located in the bay of Porto Grande, one of the most beautiful bays in the world, on the island of Sao Vicente, Cape Verde. The house is situated on the coast road, surrounded by the historical area. Its 21 windows are overlooking the quiet ocean and the pulse of the streets ornamented with acacia trees and the bustle of people. The scenery is composed by markets, cars, saleswomen, churches, art studios, game corners, barber shops, fresh fish, tropical fruit, travelers, taverns and sailors. When the sun sets on Monte Cara, the housefalls asleep with the murmurs of the waves and the bohemian nightlife resonates far away in a warm voice, "It is sweet to die in the sea ...". Woden decor, private bathroom, frigobar, TV, ortopedic mattress, air conditioner, hair dryer, free Wi-Fi international library and an amazing terrace are part of the confort we have for you :)
We had two stays at the hotel with a trip to Santo Antao in between. The rooms are big enough for a couple of days. My tip is to book a deluxe room as the other rooms have a 140cm bed. Airco works well and every room has a small fridge which is convenient. Unfortunately we got sick from the food the second day. Edilio (Eddy) who works the reception was very accomodating to us as he brought us herbal tea and asked if there was anything else he could do for us. During our trip to Santo Antao we could leave some of our luggage at the hotel so we could travel light to Santo Antao which works out very well. All in all a really good stay where Eddy is the one who makes it worth while to stay here

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, with, facing, the island of Santo Antão.We are offering 3 types of accommodations: - studio flats/efficiencies, - rooms, - suites,in a convivial atmosphere and at very moderate prices.
The hotel is well located, at 10 minutes from center. The owner speaks french and is very kind and always eager to help. Breakfast also good and perfect to start the day. Best aspect is the view, you just cannot get tired of it.

This guesthouse is perfectly located near the playa de laghinas. Great view from the terrace but not from the room we had... if you are looking to discover the life of capeverdian people, this is not the right place and the staff is quiet and not very present. On the other reviews, we read the breakfast was amazing but according to me it was just good. Still a nice place to stay.
