Felicity62 - Cozy studio in residence with pool

HugoRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I had a fantastic stay at Nina’s apartment in Santa Maria! The location is perfect. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. You can tell Nina really cares about her guests – communication was smooth, she was super helpful with local tips, and made check-in a breeze. If you're heading to Sal and want the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Cape Verde, Nina’s place is it. I’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Penthouse with panoramic Zeezicht. FREE WIFI

ManfredRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A great apartment with space for 4 people. Great view of the sea and beach. Quiet location at night and yet very short distances to the beach, the center, shopping and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped, even to cook for yourself. We stayed there for 1 week and felt very comfortable. The construction site in front of the house has already made some progress, so it is to be hoped that the temporary construction noise will decrease. The communication with Katja was excellent and the on-site support (Adrian) also supported us very much and provided us with very good recommendations

Magnolia Seaview Apartment

CamilleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a wonderful stay at Bo’s appartment. The location in Santa Maria is perfect - close to the beach and center, but far enough away to be in a quiet and peaceful environment at night. The view from the balcony is beautiful, we can see the sunset every day and the sea. The appartment is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Highly recommend this place for a holiday in Santa Maria!

WHITE SAND BEACH & Sea Front - Free Wifi

SusanaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Apartment with an excellent location, next to the famous pontoon, on the 2nd line of the beach, next to the main pedestrian street of Santa Maria. The only if not is the noise of the rental of motorcycles that is underneath, audible in the rear of the house but for those who leave in the morning and return at night, will not feel this problem. Nearby restaurants at the price of the Portuguese (between 5 and 15€ pp) and supermarkets (Chinese at prohibitive prices). Táxis in door. Host always available and responsive. I will again choose this site.
An aerial view of the residence reveals a charming layout with green-roofed buildings surrounding a clear blue swimming pool. The proximity to the sandy beach and tropical vegetation is highlighted, alongside nearby residential structures and palm trees, creating a serene coastal atmosphere.

Kitchen is very well equipped and had a washer and dishwasher which was an added bonus, beds were very comfortable and it was lovely to have 6 sunbeds all to ourselves! It was very busy around the communal pool. Air conditioning was essential and worked well as did the wifi Agnes also provided fans and organised a taxi for us and we were able to have a late check out which was very much appreciated. Taxis are readily available at the hotel into Santa Maria. Two lovely bars are bar Marley and Bikini Beach fabulous food although was a little noisy on Saturday night.

Paraiso Tropical wifi & pool. Djadsal villas

AmelieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
we had a nice stay, bright apartment and 8 min walk to a beach. the bed base is however to be changed because it formed a hollow in the middle of the bed so complicated to sleep and the pillows too big (but it's a personal opinion). leila welcomed us very warmly, accommodating to pack and very responsive to our questions. there is wifi, a welcome binder with activities and some games that are very nice.
