Casa Branca  

In Mindelo on São Vicente — a short stroll from Laginha Beach, Mindelo Marina and the Presidential Palace. This eco-chic 4-star hotel sits minutes from the city center, perfect for beach days and evening walks along the waterfront.

Just seven air-conditioned rooms with minibars, LCD TVs and private balconies or patios. Rooms have private showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. The décor is warm and simple; staff speak English and French and an elevator makes the hotel easy to access.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, lounge on the terrace and sip at the poolside bar. Complimentary Wi‑Fi covers the property, there’s free self-parking and the hotel offers transfers and a 24-hour airport shuttle for a surcharge. On-site services include concierge, laundry, ironing, car rental and a safe-deposit box.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout, luggage storage, a front-desk safe-deposit box and coffee/tea in a common area help keep business and travel running smoothly.

A hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and room service is available during limited hours. Order poolside drinks while you relax by the water.
