We had the chance to spend several days in Casa Colonial, Robbie was really kind, he picked up us in the airport and gave all the details about what to do in Mindelo, what to visit and where to eat. Casa Colonial it is not a typical hotel it looks more to an European Bed and Breakfast in a Colonial... More

We don't like big hotels or resorts where you are rather a number than a guest. That's why we chose Casa Colonial. It's an old restored building in the city center with 3 or 4 tastefully decorated rooms. The bathrooms are private though not necessarily en-suite. However it's just around the corner and no problem at all. The family who... More

Casa Colonial is “the” place to stay, especially if you are going to Mindelo to appreciate its charms and want to get under its skin. The house itself is not a "big hotel" and has kept the air of a Old Colonial house. Robbie and his wife are very friendly and helpful and provide you with information on all aspects... More

Worth a visit. Great atmosphere, well designed rooms, pleasant owners with good stories. You domhave to brave hard mattresses And the odd cold shower, but we say it's definitely worth it.

This beautifully renovated colonial house is situated in a quiet alley in the heart of Mindelo. We stayed here for two nights and returned for another two nights. Our main reason to return was not the house or the rooms, though (don't get me wrong, it looks awesome) but the owners themselves. Sue and Robbie are very welcoming and allways... More

Firstly we must endorse the many positive comments that have been made by others about the location (ideal for exploring Mindelo), rooms and character of the house. It's true that as some people have said there is some noise at night, but this has to be expected in the centre of a city where many people keep dogs and chickens.... More

I spent a wonderful few days here towards the end of last year and have such great memories. Sue and Robbie and family were fantastic hosts and made me feel very at home. My room was spacious and clean and furnished with real character. The Casa is on a quiet street, just off the main drag and so very handy... More

I stayed a couple of days in Casa colonial with my brother on our way to Santo Antao. We loved the place. Very nice rooms, beds and beautiful house! Sue and Robbie were very welcoming and gave us all the advice we needed. I recommend Casa Colonial!

The setting was ok, service was ok, WHEN somebody was around (mostly not). We had to wait twice for a closed door. Furthermore it was very noicy and highly overrated

Dear Annette, I hope this finds you well. We're so sorry to hear that your stay with us was not up to our usual high standards. We wrote to you on our return from London, apologizing, explaining the circumstances, and refunded you 95 Euro as a gesture of how seriously we take your complaint and of our commitment to providing...
