Located in Santa Bárbara, Alo Baía São Lourenço provides accommodation with air conditioning and access to a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The holiday home features family rooms. The location was beautiful, the house was just across the road to the seafront. The house is beautifully furnished with amazing woodwork. The soft furnishing is stylish and very good quality. Decoration is light, bright and a wonderful theme of green! The kitchen was fully equipped, and a lovely selection of welcome goodies were there when we arrived. The beds are very comfortable. The seating areas are lovely, terrace and balcony facing the front out to sea and back terrace sitting and bbq area in the shade. Absolutely perfect! Our hosts Cesar and family were so incredibly helpful, a very big thank you to them for making our holiday so special.

Charming Blue offers accommodation in Vila do Porto. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

Each room is equipped with a TV with cable channels. Some rooms include views of the sea or pool. Rooms have a private bathroom. Charming Blue features free WiFi throughout the property. 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!!
