About this property

Ocean View house in Cape Verde, Sao Vicente

All year Round sunshine - Ave annual temperature 25c

OCEAN VIEW HOUSE - Tranquil house in unspoilt location with sea views and mountain backdrops. 15 minutes by car from Mindelo City Centre and 30 minutes from the airport.

TAP Portugal now flying from London City - beat the queues (and other London airports) to Sao Vicente via Lisbon .

Flights also from Amsterdam ,Paris , Rome, Milan, Canary Islands with TAP, Portugal , Caboverde airlines or Tuifly NL. Or by Tuifly from UK to Sal, Cape Verde where you catch a short, pleasant stress free internal flight to Sao Vicente via Binter Air or Caboverde airlines.

Located on the picturesque island of Sao Vicente in Cape Verde, this property is set in a serene location with mountain views to the rear and ocean to the front, but only fifteen minute drive away to the restaurants, shops and nightlife in Mindelo. A spacious hideaway, this makes an ideal place to holiday when looking to escape the grey skies and needing somewhere comfortable to relax after a hard days sunbathing on the beach, a hike up Mount Verde , shopping or a night on the town in Mindelo.The property has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The living room opens onto a balcony and front facing rooms have lovely sea views including the master bedroom where there is also direct access to a balcony.Additionally there is a roof terrace which provides another area to appreciate the landscape and sea views and perhaps spot a whale. Picnics may be enjoyed on North Baia beach which you may have all to yourself sometimes. Please note that this beach is close to the house but access to it may prove difficult for anyone with moderate to severe disabilities as there is no proper path and access is via "dunes". For a moderately fit person it will take approximately ten minutes to walk across the dunes to reach the edge of the sea (the house is not on the beach but has direct sea views).

We recommend an early morning stroll along the sea path to the lagoon at Baia Das Gatas where you can have a swim in the warm water which feels like a bath in the peaceful surroundings of the mountains dotted with the occasional colourful village dwelling. For water sport enthusiasts, there is Kite Surf school at nearby Salamansa beach. Other beaches include Praia Grande and Sao Pedro beach where horse riding lessons may be taken and for the more adventurous with car hire our local information guide will show others rarely used.

The house is ideally placed for some beautiful walks or picnics along the coastline. Taxis are available for the short drive into Mindelo or we can recommend places for car hire. There are no shops or restauarants in North Baia , only sun, sea ad mountains. Should time permit, we recommend a visit to the beautiful neighbouring island of Santao Antao. Ferries leave Mindelo daily for the journey (Euro8) which takes under one hour. If time permits we also recommend visiting the other Cape Verde Islands to appreciate the diversity.

Stanislas H.

Great house in an incredible location
We (french family with 5 kids from 4 to 14) have spent wonderful holidays in Norte (Sao Vicente) in february 2016. The house in about 10 minutes by car or taxi from Mindelo (town from icon Cesaria Evora), just in front of the see, with incredible view but far away from mass tourism as you can see in the photos. The house is new, simple but beautiful, quiet. Karen who rents it is a very nice person which really gives you all the détails you need before your stay. There, you are welcome by Dislon, which speaks a few different langages (french, English...) and is a great guy as well. If you want to discover a great island but live far from big hotels... don't hesitate !

About the host

Host profile image
We live in London and get to the house when we can which is not as often as we would like to. We prefer this island to Sal or BoaVista as it is not affected by mass tourism, package hotels and is more authentic to Cape Verde.

Why they chose this property

The views made us buy the house together with the unspoilt nature and location

What makes this property unique

Peace and tranquillity but only 15 minutes away by car from Mindelo City with it's bars, restaurants and shops so you have the best of both worlds.
