Our stay was excellent! The apartment is very well located, right in the center of Santa Maria, just a two-minute walk from the beach — and being so close, there was no escaping it: every morning our daughter wanted to head straight there, then go back again in the afternoon. The apartment's cleanliness and freshness made us feel right at home, and the air conditioning in every room was a treat after a day at the beach. The restaurant recommendations we got were fantastic, and having a mini-market and cafés with great breakfast right outside the building made things so easy. One of the best holidays we've had, without a doubt. We highly recommend it!
