😠 I dont write review very often, but I was rather shocked by the communication in advance with the owner. Apparently he wants a copy of a plane ticket as a proof of arrival - which is a bit weird but OK, no problem. However, you have to send it within 3 days of booking, or he will cancel your booking... People often mention hotel, nice, breakfast,

Apparently he wants a copy of a plane ticket as a proof of arrival - which is a bit weird but OK, no problem. However, you have to send it within 3 days of booking, or he will cancel your booking. Again, a bit weird but OK, fair enough. The problem however is that the owner does not tell you that you have to send it within 3 days. I was still waiting for my plane tickets to arrive when the owner cancelled my booking without any warning. When I told him I was still booking my tickets, he immediately got very rude which was totally uncalled for. I do over 15 hotels a year, and never have I experienced such rude communication from a hotel owner. If they need documents from their guests, they should give them some time or at least give them a deadline when they need it.

    Very nice rooms, fantastic view over Mindelo. Perfect place for a sundowner :-). Friendly service and good breakfast. We enjoy our stay.

    Clean and reasonable price, the staff is very nice and will make changes and help you out whenever needed, I would definitely stay there again when I am back!! The breakfast with fresh papaya is a nice touch. Orbigada para tudo!

    Amazing view of the harbor at sunset and the staff was very kind. They helped to organize a shared taxi so we could save some money and they even put breakfast out early so we could eat before our flight. Thank you Solar Windelo!

    Great B&B to stay in Mindelo. Do note that you have to walk 10 minutes up a hill to get there. The view is stunning, the personnel is friendly and the rooms are really nice. The wind can make quite a lot o noise when you want to sleep at night.

    Very nice B&B with a view over the bay. The room we stayed in was spacious and comfy, the breakfast was very generous and included both sweet and salty food. You pay a very small extra fee for wifi connection (1 € per device). All in all, recommended. :)

    We, My grilfriend and I, stayed 4 nights in Solar Windelo in April 2016. We really appreciate the hotel. The price/confort is really a worth ! It is quiet, clean and confortable. The breakfast is good and free :) You can easily to the city center by walk. We met the owner, a passionate kitesurfer, whom gave us all tips and councils (Restaurant to go, hidden beaches etc) to discover the island. The entire familly who manage the hotel is really friendly and helpfull. We traveled 5 days in Santa Antao, and they let us drop the half of our stuff in the hotel to travel lighter. We recovered our stuff a week later, very convenient :) When we were there, we MUST be carefull of robbers in the neighborhood who could show up in the night. Do not show high value handbags and you must not have any trouble, I guess.

    I stayed for 12 great nights. Everything was great from the warm welcome to the last taxi call. The staff is friendly and nice and the hotel is clean. Recommended 5/5!

    Very clean hotel, super friendly staff, big breakfast, amazing sunset views over Mindelo. We stayed there 4 nights and would definitely come back. Most of their rooms have ocean views and are spacious. Walking distance (5min) from the main centre with plenty of restaurant options. If you don't like walking uphill back to the hotel you could also get a taxi for 1,5€. Excellent place for new year's eve to watch the fireworks.

    Great view, nice people, reasonable price. Easy to communicate. Comfortable beds. Lots of stairs. Don't bring heavy baggage.
