Oceanfront beach apartment 4 Porto Antigo 2
Mooi gelegen appartement. Zeer schoon en verzorgd. Nette badkamer en keuken, prettig bed. Kevin was zeer correct en toegankelijk in de communicatie. Daarnaast flexibel wat betreft aankomst- en vertrektijd. Wij vonden Santa-Maria veel te toeristisch en massaal en zouden er absoluut niet terugkeren, maar dat is natuurlijk slechts een persoonlijke voorkeur. Het appartement is in ieder geval een aanrader.

One bedroom Oleandro
Alba nos ayudó en todo momento y nos dio grandísimas recomendaciones, ha sido una gran anfitriona. El apartamento cuenta con todo lo necesario para una estancia corta. El barrio es muy tranquilo y está muy cerca de la playa, restaurantes, y zonas de interés... Muy recomendable!!

Villa with seaview
Nous avons séjournés une semaine avec un autre couple d’amis dans cette superbe villa. Au delà de l’accès direct à la plage depuis le jardin, la piscine et les facilités du complexe hôtelier, nous n’aurions pas pu espérer mieux pour notre séjour à Sal. Vivement recommandé

Sea View Apartment in the Center
Raphael was a helpful host, responding to enquiries quickly and efficiently. He organised taxi to and from the airport which cost 25 euro each way. The apartment was in a great location, quiet and private, with lovely swimming pool and sea frontage, which you can see from the balcony. It is a short walk from the main pedestrian street in town where a lot of the bars and restaurants are. Also lovely beach both sides of the accommodation. There is good security with guards always on duty. at the entrances. Regarding the apartment itself, it is clean, if slightly dated. It has good, quiet aircon in the main living area and the downstairs bedroom. The mezzanine bedroom has a fan. There is sufficient crockery and cutlery for four people. Perhaps an English request, a toaster would have been good. All in all, we would recommend this airbnb and would stay again.

Santana single bedroom serviced apartment
We had an excellent stay, really attention and responsive host, Katiana was most helpful with taxa from airport, which we really appreciated. Apartment was as described. Easy and sufficient. :)

A6SOL Appartamento bello e luminoso sul mare
Het appartement ligt op een mooie locatie vlak bij het strand en in het centrum. Wat wij ons niet hebben gerealiseerd is dat SAL een party eiland is geworden en de muziek tot 6 uur morgens doorgaat. Als je doof bent of een feestbeest bent is dit een fantastische locatie ben je dat niet dan zou ik oordopjes meenemen. Dus absoluut een aanrader, het appartement heeft goede bedden, de badkamer en keuken zijn prima en de prijs/kwaliteitverhouding is goed. Als je geen moeite hebt met muziek in de nacht zeker naar dit appartement gaan.

Unique Villa on Santa Maria beach
Prachtige locatie, aan strand, vlakbij zee met een heerlijk terras. De hulp van Doudou en Susana was heel prettig. De kamers met airco en badkamers zijn comfortabel. De ligging is mooi, rustig en op korte loopafstand van het centrum van Santa Maria. Een huis om naar terug te komen!

Sea views apartment in front of the best beach
Det var en rigtig fin lejlighed ,dog noget slidt men til prisen var det rigtig godt. Dejlig central og vi blev lullet i søvn om aftenen af musik fra en bar 🥰 Vil til enhver tid booke lejligheden igen hvis vi kommer til Santa Maria.

Leme Bedje fronte spiaggia
Loved Marco’s place. Great flat with full kitted out kitchen. Slept really well. Lovely neighbours. Fab coffee/ ice cream shop downstairs, loved sitting there in mornings watching the beach. Always taxis passing to take you to kitebeach which is 5 min drive. Lots of restaurants around and town is 5 mins walk , beach across the road.

Luxe app. in Tortuga Beach
Nice and clean apt. Close to 2 pools. Good resturants close by. We did not have remotecontrol for the aircondition, but this was fixed in a day or two. We would like to come back in the future.

Signify55, New Interior, fully equipped kitchen.
We had an amazing stay at this apartment in Santa Maria, Ilha do Sal! The place is exactly as shown – well-equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. It was very clean when we arrived, and the host, Nina, was absolutely wonderful – very friendly and always available to help. The apartment is in a beautifully maintained condominium, in a perfect location – right by the beach, with a pool, and just a really short walk from the main street of Santa Maria. Everything was perfect, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Tropical garden studio with WIFI, pool and beach!
I had a great time in Anna's place. The location is top - right on the beach and in the middle of the town center at the same time. All that you need is nearby - shops, restaurants, vibrant nightlife. And even though it's very cosy and quiet at night. Beautiful swimming pool with an outstanding view of the ocean and a cosy patio surrounded by a green and well kept garden. The place is a bit old and weary, but it is very clean and tidy. The community is well guarded and very safe, and the personnel on sight is extremely friendly and helpful. It's not my first time in Santa Maria, but Anna's apartment is definitely the best place I've stayed so far. And it's the best value for money one can only imagine. I will definitely be back! :)

Salty Apartment- ilha do sal, Cabo Verde
I was in Santa Maria 10 days, mostly for wing foiling. The apartment is close to the windsurfs spots. I was walking to the beach everyday with my gear, about 2-3 minutes. The place is quiet and about 10 minutes walk to the centro. Hosts were very helpful and responsive.

Residence Amanda with pool
Merci encore à Francisca ! Son appartement est super bien placé ( salle de muscu extérieur face à la mer , super restaurant l’art café à deux min à pied à faire absolument ).

Spacious Studio Porto Antigo 2, Steps to Pool,Wifi
Ich war mit meiner 6 jährigen Tochter das 1. mal auf Sal. Wir waren begeistert von allem. Angefangen von der Unterkunft, perfekte Lage am türkisen Meer, Pool, Restaurants und und und. Die Kommunikation mit Guido war super, immer sofort zurück geschrieben und hat auch bevor wir anreisten schon viel beantwortet ☺️ wir fühlen uns nie alleine. Wir kommen wieder 😍

Ibiscus Ocean View Appartment
Wir hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt bei Sandro! Die Unterkunft war sauber, stilvoll eingerichtet und genau wie beschrieben. Sandro war ein aufmerksamer und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der uns wertvolle Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben hat. Die Lage war ideal – ruhig, aber dennoch nah an allen wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft! 😊

Tortuga beach apartment 227 2 bed 2 bathrooms.
Great deal and great location from the beach. Access to restaurants, beach, shows and pools. Wifi from hotel was ok to work remotely for 2 weeks and work with Teams, flat’s wifi wasn’t better. Doors do not close properly within the flat but this is a minor issue. Kitchen well equipped. Overall a great deal!

Adult only beachfront 2 bed flat unlimited wifi
Nice cozy quiet place, walking distance to the center and beaches. We had a good relaxing time.
