Myself and my girlfriend stayed here for one week and really enjoyed ourselves. The hotel is in the centre of Santa Maria and only a few minutes walk from everything you need. Rooms were clean, supermarket next door and only a stones throw away from the nearest bar. (What more can you ask for?) I agree with the comment below.... More

We stayed at this place for one week, and it was very good and nice experience. Very basic looking place at first glance, but rooms were clean, decent showers and bathroom and coffee was ok. Food was superb and service was really friendly too. 5min walk to the beach. A lovely friendly big black dog lives there with the owners... More

Hi, we stayed there for a week in the beginning of January and overall found the experience satisfactory. The location is great - write in the centre of Santa Maria, lots of nice restaurants nearby, the beach is 5 min walk, there is a relatively big supermarket a block down. Disagree with the review below - the rooms were very... More

Having read all the reviews on here before I booked, I was shocked to discover that the service at this place was not as others have described. The small hotel is situated in a deserted area and the surroundings are not that appealing. However, the beach is a short 5 min walk away. The hotel itself is basic in terms... More

The hotel is small which suited us. It is so close to the centre of town and the beach but in a quiet street. The landlady Camilla is very charming and looked after us very well. We spent a few happy hours on the porch enjoying a glass of wine or a beer. The rooms are small with a balcony... More

It’s a cute hotel with a very personal service, which I adore. It makes you feel like you’re at home away from home. The hotel is located very close to the centre of Santa Maria, and about a 5 minute-walk from the beach. I liked it a lot because I like personal treatment when I travel alone.

I arrived here booking on Expedia to find that I don't have a booking! the Italian lady who owns the place is really helpful and she tells me I can stay but only for 5 days when I am here for 14days. I was traveling solo so this was quite stressful for me. She was absolutely great and sorted all... More

This hotel has a nice location only a few minutes from the beach and the city center. The room was fine (the price considered) and the balcony had a great view. The hotel owner (and Italian woman) was not very service minded and she continued asking "why" if we asked for a clean towel or something else. The hotel does... More

The question is whether it is island Sal that one should choose among Cape Verde island - I would choose Santiago, Sal reminds of a desert. But if you decide to go to Sal I can recommend this little economy hotel in Santa Maria. It has low prices but good value for your money. A couple of minutes' promenade to... More
