Featuring a garden and views of quiet street, Casa Pau is a recently renovated country house located in Santa Maria, 200 metres from Praia António Sousa. This beachfront property offers access to a patio. The country house also offers facilities for disabled guests.

Nice large room on the edge of town away from large resorts. Great ceiling fan (no AC) which had a consistent white noise that blocked out all noise, for a quiet great night of sleep. Well planned room with plenty of practically placed shelves and hooks to put items. The 20 euro airport pickup for our 1am checkin went smoothly. 5min walk from a small grocery and the water where you can see a great sunset. Great communication with host on WhatsApp.

Tortuga Beach Villa is situated in Santa Maria and features a private pool and pool views. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The villa has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests.

Very nice villa located in a quiet area inside a resort. The villa suited us very well, 2 adults and 3 children. We also used the private pool a lot more than we thought. It was perfect for the kids to still swim in in the afternoon when we left the beach or one of the area pools. JC is a very good host who really did everything to make us feel comfortable. The first day, JC took us on a short tour so we got to know the local area and Santa Maria, which we appreciated very much. JC also helped us book a full day tour around the island which was also very good. JC responds directly to questions via WhatsApp.

Located in Santa Maria, 3 bedroom/ 3 bathroom villa, Sal, Cape Verde provides accommodation with a private pool, a patio and sea views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, tennis at the tennis court, free private parking and free WiFi. The property has a garden, as well as a family-friendly restaurant that serves African and seafood cuisine.

This is a lovely villa in a fabulous location, with its own pool as well as the use of the main hotel pools and other facilities. The beaches were beautiful and also surprisingly quiet; the sea was a bit rough sometimes but our three boys loved it - close supervision required though! The pools and sea were warm enough when we stayed. We opted to stay self catering; Andrew was very helpful with the location of the best supermarket where we stocked up on everything we needed for the villa; and he also gave us some great restaurant recommendations in Santa Maria. The hotel didn’t seem that busy even though it was Easter school holidays, though we didn’t eat in any of the hotel restaurants as there were so many great ones in Santa Maria. Taxis into Santa Maria were easily arranged when we didn’t want to make the 45 minute walk there.

Amazing place to stay. Everything is as described. Private pool was the best! It is small and you can't swim but that wasn't what we needed. For us it was enough. Good place to relax and chill after sunbathing. Good contact with the owner. Fast and easy check-in. We really enjoyed our holidays!

    The apartment is nice and cosy. It has everything you need also for a longer stay, including self catering. The location is simply unbeatable: (i) unobstructed sea views, (ii) direct access to the beaches and (iii) short walking distance to the center of the little town, where you can find nice restaurants or stock up. The host, Marina, is very kind and attentive, assisting with everything you need, e.g. the organization of the airport transfer. This apartment is just perfect for 2 people!
