We loved everything about this property. The apartment was clean, modern and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Bed was comfy (even went and bought us a duvet as I can’t sleep without one :) The shower was great, it was in a great position but also quiet, the rooftop pool is amazing and the staff are great 👍 Walking distance to lovely sandy beach and all the shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Sunshine home Sal has a balcony and is situated in Santa Maria, within just 500 metres of Praia de Santa Maria and 1.5 km of Praia António Sousa. Among the facilities at this property are full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

The apartment is perfectly located for the beach which is only a 5 minute walk, and the town at around 10 minutes to the pedestrian street and its restaurants. It was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our stay. Although we didn’t use it, the pool is clean and well maintained as is the apartment complex. There are a couple of mini-markets on the doorstep for essentials. Ponta Preta beach is close enough to walk with a couple of beach bars. Zuela is the perfect host, on hand when needed but not intrusive, she couldn’t have been better.

    New, clean, and very comfortable apartment in a middle of the residental area. We were very happy to be in the authentic local environment, and just far enough from the tourist-only area, but still enjoy the leasure and comfort. Private pool on the roof is perfect, and it offers a view to the whole vibrant village. There are restaurants and shops nearby. Beaches are beautiful too.
