Ocean Roof, hotel in Santa Maria

Set in Santa Maria and only 200 metres from Praia António Sousa, Ocean Roof offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Roof, it was the perfect base to explore the town and a great alternative to a resort-style all inclusive, which isn’t really our thing. It is very well located and everything is easily reached on foot - the beach is two minutes walk away. The roof terrace is lovely and secluded, and the small pool is great for those wanting a break from the beach. Everything in the apartment was quite new and the beds were really comfy, with great air conditioning and a small kitchenette, should you need it. There are lots of plugs in the apartment, and we also had a small balcony. JC, the owner, is an incredible host and will go above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect - a 10/10. He organised any trips we wanted to do, and was always immediately contactable. Nothing was too much trouble, he’s a very helpful guy and it was nice to see an owner who takes a lot of pride in their property and guests’ experience. Due to our room being empty the next day, we were also given the benefit of a later check out to meet our flight time, which was hugely appreciated. Merci pour ce super séjour!

Casa Torre, hotel in Palmeira

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.

    Lucio is not only a great host, but also a known and beloved celebrity of Santa Maria! His apartment is the perfect budget-friendly accomodation for a couple, providing all necessities (+ a few nice extras) in a convenient location. Strongly recommended!

    It was clean, comfortable, pretty, classy, not fancy. A short walk from the beach, but near by houses, stores and restaurants of locals, which makes it a very authentic and enjoyable experience. We also stayed at other places closer to the beach, with views and pools, but with a very touristic and artificial environment. Breakfast was simple but good, serving omeletes and different style eggs on demand. Great value for money!!

    Andrea is a great host! It’s a small hostel and people tend to stay longer than a week so you’ll get to know everyone during your stay, which adds to a great vibe. Further, the location is superb and supermarkets, restaurants and beach are all within a two minute walk. Would definitely stay here again :) PS: the hostel actually looks better in person compared to the photos!

    Very nice location in the center of santa maria. Near the beach but not in the more touristic resort area, closer to the locals in a nice way.

    Andrea is a great host. He makes you feel at home right from the beginning. I enjoyed the food and drinks for the new year party. Clean and tidy dorms. WiFi is strong. The toilets are clean too. Walkable distance to the taxi station to go to espargos and airport. 2mins walking to the beach.
