We had the room on the roof top, with a private part of it in front of the room and acces to the rest of the rooftop. Very cosey and clean place with a magnificent view over Mindelo! The poussada is a little bit up the hill, but still in the city center. The breakfast was the best and we ate together with the other guests on the rooftop. Delicious bread and home made marmelades, fruits and scrumbled eggs etc. Host Sophie is a very kind and helpfull lady. We had a lovely time in Casa bom dia!

I liked the location, close to the beach and a few restaurants and shops. I also appreciated the hosts, both Sonia and Anselmo were super helpful with everything, from my check-in to helping me with information of the islands, and their breakfast was great for me since I don't like waking up too early to go look for food 😅. All in all, a great stay!

    Nilsa was such a great host! She even came to meet me at the airport, and was very helpful anytime I had a question or query. The house is on a small uphill, but very easy to access from the ferry and central. I definitely want to come back, not only to Mindelo - but to Vila Mira Mar.! Thank you! x

    I loved that the location is in the centre of the city or "morada". It was close to everything I needed. You are a 2 minute walk from 2 bakeries, as well as a bus various shops, restaurants, markets, entertainment and so much more. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking to explore Mindelo on foot, and have a beautiful and private home to escape back to afterwards.
