"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...

"Nous avons passé 2 semaines dans cette maison et n’avons rien trouvé à lui reprocher. Elle est spacieuse, récemment rénovée et très bien équipée. Les terrasses et leur vue sont très agréables. La communication avec l’agence a toujours été facile et a été très réactive lorsque nous avons eu besoin de prolonger notre séjour à cause d’une annulation de vol."

"No complaints at all about this hotel. It was definitely worth paying the extra to stay in the old building and have access to the terrace. Breakfasts were lovely."
