"The property is well located, only a few minutes by foot from the centre and beach. The hosts are exceptional, upon arrival we were send recommendations for restaurants. All communication was possible via WhatsApp. We arranged to be picked up by the host from the airport (12€), everything went very smoothly. The owner even propsed to keep the room until the afternoon when she heard that the flight out was around 6pm, without extra charge!"

"La piscine est fabeuse et heureusement qu elle y était parce qu on a vite fait le tour de maio Le studio est sympa"

"This is a newly refurbished flat, located on the main street in Santa Maria. It is spacious and clean, a balcony is a great asset to have a coffee and watch people passing by."

"Apartment with a vibe. A really great view, location and an amazing, helpful host! Very responsive and caring. There were some problems with internet on the whole island and Walter made sure we were compensated and taken care of. Overall a top experience."

"Julio and his family are wonderful hosts. He went to pick me up at the airport at 3 am, and again at 6 am because my flight was delayed, without charging me anything extra. The apartment is really nice and Julio´s advice concerning places to visit, driver etc. were super helpful. Highly recommended."

"This charming beachfront apartment offers a delightful blend of comfort and convenience. Located on the first floor, it exudes a welcoming elegance with its tasteful décor and thoughtful layout. The separate bedroom is a peaceful retreat, while the spacious living room beneath a cozy attic ceiling invites relaxation and moments of leisure. The well-equipped kitchen is a standout feature, perfect for preparing fresh local ingredients with ease, and the addition of a wassing machine ensures a hassle-free stay. Just a short 2-minute stroll away, you’ll find a little supermarket to stock up on essentials, adding to the apartment’s practicality. What truly sets this property apart, however, are the warm and attentive owners, whose hospitality enhances the experience. This apartment offers the ideal balance of comfort, location, and charm, making it a perfect choice for your stay in Santa Maria."

"This guesthouse is in a perfect spot at the top of the Paul valley, in a small village, with easy access to amazing hiking routes and also a great 8km walk back down the winding cobbled road to the coast (easy to pick up a coletivo or aluguer for a ride back up). We had the apartment at the top, which has amazing 360 views of the surrounding mountains and down the valley, and has its own terrace (besides the communal rooftop terrace). Sandro is an excellent host and has plenty of local information to share. A great breakfast was brought up to the apartment every morning. There’s a fabulous local restaurant next door (Andy & Dju) which uses organic produce and has vegetarian options. Can’t think of any reason to stay down at the coast if you want to make the most of the hiking opportunities in this beautiful valley. Hope to go back some day :)"

"I had a fantastic stay at Lagoon Apartment. The location is absolutely excellent — for me, it was the best part of the whole experience. Markus, the host, is very kind and welcoming, and I really appreciated the welcome drinks waiting on arrival. The apartment has everything you need, all is new, the beds are very comfortable, and the terrace is perfect for relaxing and chilling. I would definitely stay here again."
