New one bedroom apartment with kitchenette, living area and wrap around balcony. Minimally furnished but with everything I needed. Tiled flooring. A safe for valuables. Great location to access beaches and the town. I felt very safe walking back in the evening. Great sunbathing deck with sea views and a small pool to cool off.

Residencial Cabo Verde Palace, hotel in Santa Maria

Located within 700 metres of Praia de Santa Maria and 1.3 km of Ponta da Fragata Beach in Santa Maria, Residencial Cabo Verde Palace features accommodation with seating area.

We had a delightful stay in the Palace. The rooms are spacious with a very big bed and AC which helped with the hot weather The little kitchen has all basic things you might need. Eveything is clean and neat. Milu, Beth and all the staff are very nice, kind and welcoming and help you with any problem you might encounter. The terrace is really nice too, you can see the sea from there and have their tasty generous breakfast there or just chill.

Casa Torre, hotel in Santa Maria

Offering a garden and sea view, Casa Torre is set in Palmeira, 1.6 km from Fontona Beach and 1.8 km from Fontona.

First good impression: the proprietor collected us from the airport (otherwise unusual). Wonderful Apartment with a view of the sea, where we got a welcome drink. 3 Bedrooms 2 storeys, 2 terraces, spaceous Kirchen and living room. Open- minded, generous proprietor who gave us information about all the island and was always at our disposal to help us whenever needed. Besides, Palmeira is an authentic fishing village and you come into contact with the local people- not so easily possible elsewhere.

    The property is ideally situated within walking distance to the pedestrian street and restaurants. The beds are exceptionally comfortable. The property is nice and quiet and ideal for winding down. The hosts, Zuela & Dila go out of their way to make one’s stay comfortable. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I look forward to returning, and will definitely stay here again.

    The property was so clean & well kept. Furniture was lovely and comfy bed! The WiFi was great too - important for me as a remote worker! Great location - a quick walk to supermarkets and the city centre. Quiet area but very close to the liveliness! The owner is so kind and lovely too - very friendly. I would 100% recommend :)

    The hostel is very close to the beach, in a quiet area. The common areas are spatious and pleasant, there is an internal patio with plants, sunlight and fresh ocean breeze. Andrea is a great host, always friendly, available and ready to help. You can book all kinds of tours and activities directly from the hostel.

    Perfect apprtment in the city center, close to beach, pier, main street, attractions yet quiet. Better than expected. Hosts respond promptly to any inquries. Airport transfer driver turned out to be great, we travelled places as I needed.

    A big apartment a few minutes from the beach, in a quiet and nice part of the town but not far from the centre; in other words, a pretty great location. The apartment has its own private patio, a living room / kitchen, a large main bedroom with a double bed and a tiny single bedroom (no window there). There is a good wifi. The owners have a great little shop next door where you can buy all the basics for the same price (or even cheaper) than in other shops. Note that if you want to cook, you need to pay extra (2 euros a day) for the gas.

    The guesthouse is very nice, cozy, clean and well equipped. Peter is a great host, takes good care of his house and it’s guests and provided me with all needed information about the island and the surroundings. I really liked the location a lot since the house is not located directly in the middle of the tourist hotspot but still very close to get everywhere easily, either by foot or with the provided shuttles, by taxi etc.
