Common questions
- Can foreigners rent property long-term in Cape Verde?
- Yes. Long-term rentals are monthly contracts for people moving or staying a season — not holiday nights. Expect a deposit, a written contract, and to pay Electra and water separately in many homes.
- Where to rent an apartment in Cape Verde?
- Praia (Santiago) and Mindelo (São Vicente) have the most year-round apartments. Santa Maria on Sal and Sal Rei on Boa Vista mix holiday lets with a smaller long-stay market. Always check generator, water and fibre before you wire a deposit.
- How much is rent in Cape Verde?
- It varies by island. A simple apartment in Praia or Mindelo is a different number from a Santa Maria villa. Ilhas shows long-term rents in euros per month, filterable by island, bedrooms and type.
