Featuring a garden and views of quiet street, Casa Pau is a recently renovated country house located in Santa Maria, 200 metres from Praia António Sousa. This beachfront property offers access to a patio. The country house also offers facilities for disabled guests.

Nice large room on the edge of town away from large resorts. Great ceiling fan (no AC) which had a consistent white noise that blocked out all noise, for a quiet great night of sleep. Well planned room with plenty of practically placed shelves and hooks to put items. The 20 euro airport pickup for our 1am checkin went smoothly. 5min walk from a small grocery and the water where you can see a great sunset. Great communication with host on WhatsApp.

Located in Santa Maria, 3 bedroom/ 3 bathroom villa, Sal, Cape Verde provides accommodation with a private pool, a patio and sea views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, tennis at the tennis court, free private parking and free WiFi. The property has a garden, as well as a family-friendly restaurant that serves African and seafood cuisine.

This is a lovely villa in a fabulous location, with its own pool as well as the use of the main hotel pools and other facilities. The beaches were beautiful and also surprisingly quiet; the sea was a bit rough sometimes but our three boys loved it - close supervision required though! The pools and sea were warm enough when we stayed. We opted to stay self catering; Andrew was very helpful with the location of the best supermarket where we stocked up on everything we needed for the villa; and he also gave us some great restaurant recommendations in Santa Maria. The hotel didn’t seem that busy even though it was Easter school holidays, though we didn’t eat in any of the hotel restaurants as there were so many great ones in Santa Maria. Taxis into Santa Maria were easily arranged when we didn’t want to make the 45 minute walk there.

At Self Catering Villas with Pools at Dunas Beach Resort you will find a private beach area, a tennis court and a fitness centre Activities in the surrounding area include a water park. The property offers free parking.

The villa is very spacious and very comfortable, it's fully furnished (we only thought cushions on deckchairs would be useful). We loved the garden, it felt very private and quiet. My kids loved the pool in the garden. The location of the villa was perfect. Close to the beach and the main pool in the resort, with the access to restaurants (make sure you have a card or cash on you as they did not let us charge the food to the room) , pools, bars and entertainment. The resort is 3 km from Santa Maria village, taxis available all the time right outside the hotel (5 Euro to the village). We used a shuttle arranged by the host from the airport and called the same guy to take us back to the airport. Easy check in and check out. Very clear instructions. We really appreciated the mid stay housekeeping. I also have to mention the host of the villa- Nadine. She was very attentive, helpful, flexible and hospitable and answered always almost imidiately. A super easy and pleasent contact. Thank you Nadine! We would definitely love to come back!

    Hotel is located in the east part of the island, quiet and cozy. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. The beach right in front of the hotel is very nice, not crowded. There's also a very good restaurant at the beach I enjoyed a lot. I will definitely choose this hotel again when I come back to Sal.

    Nice spacious room, cozy common area with equipped kitchen (cooker, oven, microwave). After check out, I could keep the key to leave my luggage in a cupboard under the stairs and pick up my bag later and leave the key inside. Communication with the owner through WhatsApp was good and fluent. Good wifi.

    Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need for a self catering holiday. The roof Terrace was a perfect place for breakfast in the morning sun.

    The apartment is nice and cosy. It has everything you need also for a longer stay, including self catering. The location is simply unbeatable: (i) unobstructed sea views, (ii) direct access to the beaches and (iii) short walking distance to the center of the little town, where you can find nice restaurants or stock up. The host, Marina, is very kind and attentive, assisting with everything you need, e.g. the organization of the airport transfer. This apartment is just perfect for 2 people!

    We had an amazing time at the Hilton - the staff were really friendly and welcoming; the location and amenities were fabulous; and the food was good, especially the breakfast buffet and the catch of the day at the Bounty Restaurant. Drinks and live music at the Cize bar was also really enjoyable and definitely a highlight for us. The hotel and staff were very accommodating, especially with our baby. We left feeling very restored and can’t wait to come back.
