New one bedroom apartment with kitchenette, living area and wrap around balcony. Minimally furnished but with everything I needed. Tiled flooring. A safe for valuables. Great location to access beaches and the town. I felt very safe walking back in the evening. Great sunbathing deck with sea views and a small pool to cool off.

    It was clean, comfortable, pretty, classy, not fancy. A short walk from the beach, but near by houses, stores and restaurants of locals, which makes it a very authentic and enjoyable experience. We also stayed at other places closer to the beach, with views and pools, but with a very touristic and artificial environment. Breakfast was simple but good, serving omeletes and different style eggs on demand. Great value for money!!

    Adaja was a great host and kindly organised my early taxi to the airport. Nice location away from the busy streets. Room was a lot bigger than expected.

    Andrea is a great host! It’s a small hostel and people tend to stay longer than a week so you’ll get to know everyone during your stay, which adds to a great vibe. Further, the location is superb and supermarkets, restaurants and beach are all within a two minute walk. Would definitely stay here again :) PS: the hostel actually looks better in person compared to the photos!

    Very nice location in the center of santa maria. Near the beach but not in the more touristic resort area, closer to the locals in a nice way.

    Andrea is a great host. He makes you feel at home right from the beginning. I enjoyed the food and drinks for the new year party. Clean and tidy dorms. WiFi is strong. The toilets are clean too. Walkable distance to the taxi station to go to espargos and airport. 2mins walking to the beach.

    The hostel is very close to the beach, in a quiet area. The common areas are spatious and pleasant, there is an internal patio with plants, sunlight and fresh ocean breeze. Andrea is a great host, always friendly, available and ready to help. You can book all kinds of tours and activities directly from the hostel.
