"Santa Maria Maior was just as described and in a perfect location. We were minutes from the cable car and many wonderful restaurants and bars. Patricia greeted us and explained everything about the apartment and some tips regarding the area. She was delightful. Olivier checked to ensure everything went smoothly and wished us a farewell. As Americans living in Portugal I would recommend this apartment."

"Spaceous and modern 1 bed apartment in a quiet area only 5-10 minutes walk from the centre. Nice shower and small balcony with a view of the sea / cruise ships. Note that in Spring 2024 there is a building site next door but it wasnt too noisy. Has a car park outside with designated space. Note that the entrance is very steep (as are many of the side roads in this part of town). The buses are many and regular - we used them for some trips but rented a car for 3 days to visit the more...

"Great place to stay close to everything and amazing view. The house was in like new condition and well stocked. We would recommend this place to our friends. And we had a reserved parking spot on the street in front of the garage which was really convenient. Old town was a simple 5 min drive and great places to eat were a 5-10 minute walk (up/down hill) or quick drive."

"A great apartment on the edge of the old town. Fab views of the sea and of the local area - great for people watching. Good size living / kitchen area with well appointed cooking area. Full sized fridge freezer which is always a bonus. Bedroom at the back with a small rooflight window - no aircon - but a decent fan in both areas.

Calheta Beach - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent facilities, nice and clean. Staff is very helpful. I would make more fish/seafood choices at the buffet and less meat. Also, the actual beach which I understand ids not really the hotel’s property is there, but the water is not very clean. But the swimming pool is great. In genrral, excellent all inclusive"
