Nina is one of the best host I’ve met in my life, she is nice, fun dedicated and trustful. Everything went so smooth, we allait regret not staying longer in Santa Maria ! The localisation is perfect, close to everything you may need and directly on the beach. Don’t think twice, just book !

My family and I loved staying at Peter's house. Very nice home, well located, on top of the beach, excellent swimming pool. The Host is very responsible, always available, provided great information about Sal Island. We would definitely return to be hosted by Peter.

Tortuga beach lovely 2 bed apartment and gardens

GarethRating, 5 stars15 months ago
A really nice, clean four bed apartment in a luxury resort in Sal. It was nice to be on the first floor with a balcony overlooking the pool and the air conditioning on hot nights was welcome. There is good provision in the apartment for self catering, but I would recommend negotiating all inclusive at the resort reception, for my short stay with friends already at the resort it worked out perfectly. The resort provides access to two main pools and two small pools for younger children, plus access to the beach. There was no issue with obtaining sun beds during my stay (November). The resort and the island feels safe and relaxed. There isn’t a lot to see on the island, I managed to get around it all on a day trip (I recommend Reis Transport Services Sal Experience, Ronnie was great and provided a great insight into the island and island life). After that you can just relax in the sun, snorkel or kite surf! I had a great stay, thanks to Stephen for his hospitality.

Porto Antigo 2 - Private Studio - OCEAN VIEW

MarvinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The place was great in a quiet residence with a pool. The check-in process is very easy and you will always have one or two security guard for the residence and at the reception. The residence is very well located in relation to the city center and the beach and amenity nearby.

Sun & Salt Holidays

MichelleRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Stunning views from the balcony, it really made the holiday for us. Well thought out seating and facilities from breakfast to sunset watching. Perfect for two adults, fully equipped kitchen and washing machine. Swimming pool was very well maintained and the whole area was clean and not over crowded. Nice to have security at the complex too. Chilled atmosphere which was near to the centre of town but quite at night time. Would highly recommend.

WHITE SAND BEACH & Free Wifi - Late Check Out Free

SaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house is just like the pictures. Very good location and close to basic spaces such as supermarkets, coffees, restaurants and 2 min from the beach. They were very friendly and always ready to help if needed. We had a small problem at first but were super quick to solve. I can only recommend this house to those who need a great space and close to the center.

VILLA IN THE MAGICAL BAÍA DA MURDEIRA

MaryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Thank you for a blissful 10 days. So peaceful and such a wonderful setting. The house was clean, spacious and functional. We had hoped to use the BBQ, but finding charcoal in the local small supermarket was not possible. Having said that, the shop did meet all of our other requirements. Benoit was a very friendly, responsive and accommodating host, and any queries we had e.g a broken bottle opener (!) were dealt with immediately. The 2 local restaurants served very good food and staff were always friendly and polite. Their English is limited so be patient! We enjoyed a tour of the island which included the ‘touristy’ things that one does on holiday, but was most enjoyable. If you are looking for a more upbeat holiday, then this is not your destination. If you are hoping to fly and flop, then get it booked!

Surf House - Exclusive Getaway

YannRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Thank you for this stay which corresponded to our wish, a wild place away from the tourist areas of the island of Sal, with Pool and authentic. Ralph was perfect before we arrived, good remote advice, same during the stay. All small daily issues were easily resolved. The house is top notch, nice pool, perfect view, away from tourism, wild and quiet. A few small youthful imperfections about hosting a house in this category like a lack of soap or pool towels, but I'm sure Ralph will improve!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this stay. Yann & his little family

Wayne’s property had beautiful views of the ocean you could relax on the sun lounger’s during the day or watch the beautiful sunset set at dusk. The house has everything you would want for an enjoyable vacation. Murderia is a beautiful quiet area of Sal. I would recommend Wayne’s house and would definitely book again.

Melia Tortuga Beach Villa

AngelaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
we've just come home from a fabulous family holiday at Agnes beautiful front line villa. We all felt very comfortable in the villa home from home. 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. All in all a fabulous time was had on Sal lots of amazing experiences for our grandson Joey thank you Agnes for your hospitality.

Tranquility and Exclusivity

DuyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay. The Airbnb is right by the sea and restaurants are a 10-minute walk away. The view of the sea at sunset is breathtaking. Our host Peter welcomed and said goodbye to us very warmly, we felt very comfortable and can fully recommend Airbnb.

Franmay: 1 bedroom Penthouse with terrace nº 8

SebastianRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We stayed here for about a week of kitesurfing. The apartment is nicely situated a bit away from the hubbub of the main street but still everything is reachable easily by foot. It is simple and clean and equipped with everything we could wish for (including clothes pegs😉). Guille was super responsive and very helpful throughout our whole stay! Now all we need is more holidays to come back!

Paraiso Tropical wifi & pool. Djadsal villas

AmelieRating, 5 stars1 month 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.

DanielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!
