Nice location, slightly out of town centre - about 20min walk and 5min by car to Vila Do Porto, but also about 15min by car towards the north coast.
Nice view from the room, very friendly staff

The location is beautiful with great views, newly renovated to a high standard. We are regular visitors to the island, usually in the marina, and this was an opportunity for us to do something different where we could stay in a property that we have passed many times. Spacious and comfortable, it felt like home. Quiet and with good security. There are also outside areas for sitting and for a barbecue. The kitchen is well equipped but you will need to invest in salt, pepper and oil plus tea and coffee. Our host, Sandra, was delightful and extremely helpful. Whilst a car is useful, the bus service works and the bus stop is outside the front gate to your left. There is a copy of the timetables in the apartments, which need a bit of studying. In July and August an extra service runs to the beach at Praia Formosa and to Anjos. Taxis also come at a very reasonable price too. There is a local bar, Stop 2, 5-10 minutes walk to your left and a bit further up the hill is a well stocked supermarket Angelo with a café. Just beyond that, left at the crossroads is a bar restaurant (A Moagem) with good local food. Lots of great walks too. We had a wonderful week and would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Friendly people, small enough things are rather laid back...
Friendly people, small enough things are rather laid back which is what we wanted. Good hiking trails on the island. Liked Cafe Travessa, Clube Naval, and Praia Formosa restaurants. Drive to village of Sao Laurenzo is very scenic.
Well I think I may have found the perfect hotel!! The room, food, decor, location, atmosphere, all spot on! but what really made this place great was the staff, all so kind and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble and everything done with a smile. We are a charity and couldn't have achieved our mission on Santa Maria without the help of the amazing Sophia, an absolute credit to Charming Blue, thank you so much from all the team and crew at The Maiden Factor. I can't wait to come back!!
Nice hotel in a very convenient place 5 Min from the airport (but very quiet anyway). It is possible to go hiking right from the hotel and it is also in walking distance (30 Min) to the center of Vila do Porto with shops and restaurants. Nice breakfast buffet and extremely friendly stuff. Clean rooms with AC and fridge.
Location was great. Short distance to airport, grocery store and town center. It was so nice to be in an apartment with all the comforts of a home. Hated to leave and go to next location with a hotel
Santa Maria Island is a nice relaxing break from the crowds that other islands have.
Excellent hostel in the best place in Vila do Porto! Very clean, amazing friendly atmosphere, great WiFi, hot water, good breakfast. I love everything and will stay again on Santa Maria Island as well as on other islands!
The hotel was simple and uncluttered . It was very clean and comfortable with a good restaurant and helpful staff. We had a rental cat so being near the airport but not the town worked out well for us.
This is not a 4 star hotel since the room facilities don’t match this category. It should be rated as a 3 star hotel to not raise false expectations. However, the location and views are quite nice.
Nice location, slightly out of town centre - about 20min walk and 5min by car to Vila Do Porto, but also about 15min by car towards the north coast.
Nice view from the room, very friendly staff
Maria Helena is an excellent and very friendly host! Her guest apartment is in the center of Vila do Porto with its own parking lot and short distances to shops, bars and harbour!
Very quiet and spacious hotel. Restaurant on site. Comfortable room. Friendly and helpful staff. Relaxing atmosphere. A very good base for exploring the island of Santa Maria
Clean simple rooms, comfortable beds, nice breakfast, friendly staff, and convenient to have the restaurant on site as well. Short trip to Vila do Porto. Highly recommended.
