Boa Vista was the last island of our trip to Cape Verde. We left it for last just to relax on the fantastic beaches before the "hard work". The island in comparison with the others is already more touristy and developed, but Migrante still breathes the atmosphere of a colonial past! The house is a wonderfull place to stay in... More

The guesthouse itself is indeed lovely. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable, the en-suite area very tiny but adequate. Towels and bedlinen are changed every 4 days. There is a dispenser of poor quality liquid soap over the washbasin, but you need to take all your own toiletries. The room was dark though because the lighting is poor -... More

We arrived on Friday and felt tired after a very long flight so very loud music till 3 p.m.... More

Great place to stay on Boa Vista. They have done a wonderful job of transforming the ruins of a historical home into a beautiful guesthouse. The staff was excellent and Tony was always there to offer advice and information about the island. The cocktails are delicious!

We stopped for a drink in the bar of the Migrante Guesthouse during our visit in Sal Rei. It is a really lovely and clean place, with the most adorable courtyard. Cocktails are made with the local rum, which is really strong.

Lovely guesthouse. Spacious bedroom and beautiful shower room. We really enjoyed breakfast in the laid back courtyard. Cris the owner really nice guy, always there to speak to if you need him but not in your face. Would definately return.

The perfect place to stay at Boa Vista! Really kind staff, nice breakfast, perfect sleep, and the "riad" is so beautiful! It's so nice to have a drink in the bar after dinner or in the patio after the beach! Unique place in Sal Rei... I definitely reccommend it a lot!

We stayed as a couple at Migrante over Christmas 2011. We loved it. Woken by the sounds of breakfast being laid out below us at around 8.00 and serenaded by the sadly late Cessaria Evoria through early evenings and siestas. It is a guest house – but a very stylish one that feels like a boutique hotel. The beautiful and... More
