VerifiedLong-term rental
Cape Verde
Rent property on Santo Antão
Long-term rentals are scarce and often rooms in family houses. Ask about water in the dry months and how you get to the ferry. This is for people staying to walk, not a winter let with a pool.

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.
