Amazing place and lovely hosts
What a wonderful place. If you want an authentic Cape Verdean experience, this is the perfect place to stay. Celestina and Carlos are such lovely hosts, and they make you feel genuinely at home from the moment you arrive.
The apartment was extremely clean, exceptionally well-equipped and meticulously organised. Everything was well prepared, including all the little details for making a great breakfast.
The location is also excellent, just a short walk from Laginha Beach and close to restaurants.
Carlos even kindly drove us to the ferry himself early in the morning, which was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated.
Thank you both for such a warm welcome and wonderful hospitality. We highly recommend staying here!

Highly recommended to everyone
The apartment is spacious and offers all the necessary comforts, including a very well-equipped kitchen and a washing machine. Everything was impeccably clean.
The location is excellent — not right in the center, but only a 5-minute walk from Praia de Laginha and about 20 minutes on foot from Mindelo’s central square.
What truly makes this accommodation exceptional, however, are the hosts. Celestina and Carlos made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. They arranged all the transfers we needed, and Carlos even gave us a personal tour of the island by car and drove us to the ferry terminal at 7:00 in the morning.
Highly recommended to everyone.

Lovely space!
- very spacious
- the couple that own the apartment are very nice
- breakfast items they left for us were all great and delicious
- very clean
- the seaview is beautiful!!
- WiFi worked well most of the time
The only thing we could say is that the bed creaks a lot when you move and that the headboard is not properly secured so when you move on the bed, both make a lot of noise. We think this was the only drawback.

Fabulous place.
We loved everything about our stay In the apartment. Carlos and Celestina are the best hosts you could wish for and they keep the fridge well stocked for breakfasts too, including homemade cake and jam. Celestina also made us a delicious Feijoada and Cachupa. (Thanks again Celestina ❤️)
The apartment is super clean and comfortable with a great view too.
It is only a 5 minute walk to the beach and local mini market and bakery. The town centre is a nice 15-20 minute stroll or you can catch a bus. The buses run regularly from round the corner of the apartment. We are hoping to return.

Wir hatten das Appartement ganz oben im Haus, sehr geräumig, Typ Ferienwohnung. Die überdachte Terrasse (komplett verglast, Schiebefenster – nicht ohne Grund, es kann windig werden) ist riesig. Alles war sehr sauber und gemütlich. Die Lage ist perfekt. Strand, Minimärkte, Bars gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation lief über Whatsapp und Telefon, über die Servicefrau vor Ort und über unseren Fahrer, der uns freundlich und pünktlich vom Flughafen abholte und auch wieder zurück brachte (obwohl der Inlandsflug einfach mal 6 Stunden vorverlegt wurde – Ankündigung 1,5 h vorher, is halt so ;-)). Vielen Dank!
Noch ein paar Tipps:
Am Strand gibt es Fitnessgeräte und nette Sportbekanntschaften, JetSki und natürlich auch Bars.
Der Fischmarkt hat gute Ware – allerdings war es für uns besser, den Fisch im Restaurant zu essen ;-)
Es gibt ein paar (sehr wenige!) Leute, die auf Touristen zugehen und mit den Läden Abmachungen haben, dass sie dort was kaufen sollen. Kann man ablehnen – alle sind praktisch immer freundlich, egal in welcher Gegend! Aber hey, kann man auch machen – alles keine Beträge für uns, kommentiere ich mal nicht weiter.
Wenn man ABC-Gerödel mit hat, kann man in São Pedro selbständig mit den Schildkröten tauchen. Es macht auch Spaß, den Leuten dort ein paar Euro/Escudos in die Hand zu drücken und mit den Booten rauszufahren. Direkt am Strand (nicht oben am Hang, nicht im Hotel) gibt es eine kleine Gaststätte (ja, sieht nicht so aus, sucht einfach!) mit leckerem Essen – aber „No Stress“ (BTW: vier Mauern, Plastikstühle, paar Palmwedel als Dach: Kartenzahlung? Klar!)
Doze Voltas sind schwer zu finden, doch schön! Einfach strikt nach GPS laufen. Und auf dem Weg dahin unbedingt in der Bafas e Companhia einkehren! Absolut lecker, autochthone Küche!
Wer Zeit hat und Interesse: Am Ocean Science Center Mindelo kann man sich über Forschungsarbeiten, Fischerei u.v.a. informieren. Achtung, das ist keine öffentliche Ausstellung, vorher Termin machen!
