Oceanfront beach apartment 4 Porto Antigo 2
Beautifully located apartment. Very clean and cared for. Neat bathroom and kitchen, pleasant bed. Kevin was very correct and accessible in communication. In addition, it is flexible in terms of arrival and departure time. We found Santa-Maria to be far too touristy and massive and would absolutely not return there, but of course that is only a personal preference. The apartment is definitely recommended.

Pool house with High Speed WiFi, 30m from beach
Lonely apartments. Great area.

apt T1 2-4 Pax
Such a nice place, clean and Luis has a great grill too!!

Sun & Salt Holidays
We loved the location which overlooks the pool and sea and is close to all of the shops and restaurants and yet far enough away (5 minutes walk) to be quiet and peaceful. The apartment was well equipped and it was lovely to be able to hear the sea with the door open to the balcony. André was arranged transport to and from the airport and was very quick to respond to any messages before and during the booking. Overall a great week and we would definitely book again if we return to Sal.

Sal Sun House
A new house, very nice, and the apartment is very clean, spacious and modernly furnished. Definitely the best apartment I've ever stayed at on Sal (7 vacations so far). The Ion Windsurf station can be reached in 5 minutes by foot and you are very quickly in the center. The on-site service is very helpful. I had forgotten my key in the apartment and within 10 minutes Maria was there and opened up to me. Excellent!!! The value for money was very attractive during my travel time in early February. Will come again any time.

Magnolia Seaview Apartment
I spend a wonderful week in Linda's &Bo's accommodation and absolutely loved it!! the bed was super comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need. Waking up to the breathtaking views of the ocean from the balcony each morning was simply magical. The location is perfect just a 10 minutes walk from the city center, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere while still having fantastic dining options close by. I felt at home the whole stay and I would love to return!

Salt Studio 1
The flat is conveniently located, right in the heart of Santa Maria, one block from the main pedestrian street. It is close to bar, restaurants, amenities and the main beach and pier. The studio flat had everything I needed for my staying and a small balcony where to chill out. Lucia, who greeted me at check-in is lovely and very helpful. It would defiantly recommend it and I would book it again.

Great Seaview Apartment, Balcony, Pool, Wifi
Britta is a nice, active and helpful host. Located in a quiet area, restaurants, shops and the beach are within walking distance.

Tranquility and Exclusivity
We had a wonderful stay. The Airbnb is right by the sea and restaurants are a 10-minute walk away. The view of the sea at sunset is breathtaking. Our host Peter welcomed and said goodbye to us very warmly, we felt very comfortable and can fully recommend Airbnb.

The accommodation was a great fit for us. The villa is very well decorated and generously sized. Having a rental car was an advantage for us. Wayne and his deputy José are thoughtful and committed hosts.

One bedroom Oleandro
Alba helped us at all times and gave us great recommendations, she was a great host. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and is very close to the beach, restaurants, and areas of interest... Very recommended!!

Apt 40 Spacious bright 2 bedroom apt beach front
We enjoyed staying in Lorraine's apartment, being in the city and by the sea made it very easy for us to walk around day and night, enjoying the city vibes and at times sitting by the beach. it was nice finding drinking water, coffee, tea, sugar in the house. We were warmly welcomed by the manager, Stefan who took us round to see various restaurants and showed us where we could shop. He also helped us organize a tour to the island which was great. I would recommend Lorraine's house for your stay in Santa Maria.

Ibiscus - beautiful, near the sea and central
Marco was exceptional active in solving problems and answering questions to make the most of Isla do Sal. The functional place as I wanted... away from the chaos but close to the center. Fantastic experience. Thank you . Obrigada !!!

Luxe app. in Tortuga Beach
Nice and clean apt. Close to 2 pools. Good resturants close by. We did not have remotecontrol for the aircondition, but this was fixed in a day or two. We would like to come back in the future.

Paraiso Tropical wifi & pool. Djadsal villas
Good location and great conditions. Hosts were very helpful on arrival and in solving minor issues during their stay. The house is a perfect option for those who want to escape the resorts and enjoy the island more locally.

Porto Antigo 2 Studio - Balcony - OCEAN VIEW
Absolutely LOVED our stay - exceeded all our expectations. Mirian was the perfect host - very much appreciated the late check-out. One of the very few holiday’s I’ve not wanted to leave - we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend, and thank you again Mirian! See you again very soon ✌️🇨🇻🏖️🙃

PérolaSal apartment with pool and sea view
We travel to Cape Verde as a family (child of 03 years) and our last days we chose the accommodation to have days only for the child. Result: More than expected. You can use everything from the resort, which has a lot of programming for the little ones. The drinks are a good price (€3). The space is clean, well decorated and relatively well equipped. We were fully met for our purpose.

Djadsal Blue C01 apartment near the sea
Beautiful apartment in family friendly and safe complex. Spacious, clean and well equipped inc air-con, washing machine and clothes line. Private patio and fabulous pool. Walking distance to stunning sandy beach, local amenities and town centre.
