Holiday accommodation in Mindelo

Mindelo self-catering accommodation is set in and around Cape Verde’s second largest city, regarded as the cultural capital of the country. Sao Vicente’s musical heritage can be discovered at Mindelo’s numerous lively bars and nightclubs, where live performances are always entertaining. Meanwhile the local colonial architecture is also highly appealing, ensuring that the townscape around Mindelo holiday apartments is suffused with a historical atmosphere. On an island that is not renowned for its beaches, the seafront at the Foya Branca Hotel stands out – here you can find an attractive stretch of white sand. Elsewhere the shoreline around Mindelo rental apartments is popular among water sport enthusiasts, with Sao Pedro providing first class windsurfing conditions.

A one-hour ferry journey away, the island of Santo Antau makes for a popular day trip for visitors to Sao Vicente holiday villas. On this island you can find a rugged landscape with lush vegetation, creating the perfect spot for some hiking and nature spotting. Meanwhile, closer to your self-catering villa in Mindelo, there are plenty of interesting sights to take in around the town. The Palacio do Governador is noted for its splendid colonial architecture, while the Paco de Concelho – the town hall for all of Sao Vicente – is equally impressive. An amble through the colourful and bustling town surrounding your apartment in Mindelo is guaranteed to reap rewards.

While staying at Mindelo holiday rentals you can expect year-round warm temperatures, with very little rainfall. The summer brings slightly hotter conditions, with highs of around 28 degrees.

On the night of the full moon every August there’s a wonderful beach music festival not far from Mindelo self-catering accommodation featuring performers from across Cape Verde.
