Lovely 2nd floor room overlooking the beach activities and musical items from adjacent restaurant (enjoyed, and it wasn't ever a nuisance). Staff were very helpful...ordering/flagging down a taxi on our behalf.
Amelia
Close to the beach and everything!

Our stay was amazing from beginning to end. When we booked the management contacted us to first say hello and to ask if we needed a transfer arranged from the airport to the apartment, that was appreciated.
On arrival we met Sara the apartment manager who was so helpful getting us settled in, explaining details about the local area and giving us her contact details for anything else we might think of that we may need support with whilst there.
The cleaners came in once during our stay to give the apartment a nice spruce up!
The apartment had a lovely balcony that looked out over the town, apartments on the other side had ocean views, next time we will take an apartment on the ocean side!
The facilities were spot on, clean and functional bathroom, well stocked kitchenette with pots, plates, oven/hob, fridge etc. Lovely reception room (which we barely used as we were out all the time!).
The beds were comfortable and clean and there is nice local artwork throughout the property.
The property is very well located as it is approximately 25 minutes from the airport, 1 minute from the beach and the local restaurants, bars and shops are a short stroll away.
This is an excellent base for planning whatever you are doing on the island as it is central, easy to find and everything is accessible to you.

You have access to everything you need with a breathtaking beach. Everything you need and more is accessible with a distance walk. In the center of it all. The house is beautiful, clean and worth the stay. They will reach out to accommodate rides if you need it. The manager respond right away. Thank you for making my stay so lovely. I will return back for sure! I stayed there because of my sister and i recommend it.
Careen
Well l would like AC in all the rooms in the apartment. Some apartment only had AC in the living room. Therefore making sleeping at night very uncomfortable.
Miha
Nice location. No so crowdy beach.

A lovely escape
A great stay at Villa ao mar; the location great, views are great and the staff lovely. We will definitely go again.

Great location, clean and well maintained.
The unit is much better than the entryway, halls or staircase. The dead-end ocean views are wonderful. Our particular unit was sparsely furnished. This, combined with the lack of an elevator, probably makes the top floor units more appropriate for younger people.
The newness and cleanliness, coupled with the location, make this a good choice in Santa Maria.

Wonderful experience. Wonderful memories.
We absolutely loved our stay here. 3 adults, 3 kids. Wanted sea view, but it was booked. So we took city view and then were unexpectedly upgraded after our 3rd day to the sea view apartment. Gorgeous view, couldn't have easier access to the beach/water sports/pier/town as there is a front and back entrance. Plenty of restaurants, shops, groceries, bars within a 10 minute radius. Airport pickup and drop offs all arranged at standard price. Some noise/music on Sat. night, but that is the trade-off for being so centrally located. The furnishings are all new, clean, and tastefully done. Only downside was bed mattresses- extremely firm, bordering on hard - could have been more comfortable. Most restaurants and cafes have wifi - which is what we resorted to after our Cabocom cards (20 Euros each) ran out on Day 2.

La struttura molto carina e ben organizzata con l’accesso diretto alla spiaggia..direi super!. A ridosso della via principale ma comunque silenziosa. Pulizia della struttura impeccabile. La Sig. Sara molto disponibile e carina, ed anche i suoi genitori…Direi struttura e vacanza rilassante …super top!!! …
Moritz
Die Sauberkeit war super und die Apartments sind wunderschön und toll ausgestattet. Wir haben eine tolle Betreuung bekommen und die Apartments sind auch toll gelegen. Es gibt sogar eine Dachterasse mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht auf den Strand direkt daneben. Man fühlt sich auch sehr sicher und auch die Anbindung an die Stadt ist perfekt.
Lorenz
Perfekte Lage, direkt am Strand! Wunderschön!
Cornelia Maria
The perfect place to be in Santa Maria, wonderful appartment directly on the beach right next to the pier. Very well equipped, absolutely clean, friendly and helpful staff, we loved it!
The only thing we would have changed is the mattresses, they are too soft ;)

Det bedste sted at bo i Santa Maria
Vi havde et fantastisk ophold på Villa Ao Mare. Hver morgen når vi stod op og kunne høre bølgerne, når vi sad eller lå på altanen og nød et glas vin og fulgte livet på stranden eller lige smuttede ned og tog en dukkert… så følte vi os SÅ heldige, over at bo netop her. Hotellet er pænt, rent, roligt og hyggeligt - og så ligger det HELT perfekt i forhold til stranden og byen. Vi kan på det varmeste anbefale Villa Ao Mare.
Nadine
Perfekt Location. Perfekt Apartment. We Loved it.
Gilda
L'appartamento è bellissimo. Su due piani con 2 camere da letto e 2 bagni. Dall'interno dell'appartamento vi è l'accesso diretto ad una terrazzina \"privata\" sul tetto. Le virgolette perchè la terrazza è unica, ma divisa da dei recinti in legno che separano gli spazi di ogni appartamento. Durante il nostro soggiorno, però, sulla terrazza siamo stati soli. La cucina accessoriata e pulizie ogni 3 giorni. Tutto perfetto. I gestori sono stati super disponibili e molto gentili.
Ottima posizione.

Apartment in Santa Maria
Contrary to the information from Hotels.com, there was no daily room cleaning. The apartment was in good condition and is very centrally located. At night there is security watching the building.
