Apatrment had a stunning location. Everything was perfect except for the beds which was hard as a rock. For a high priced living this must be fixed. The swimmingpool was veeeeery cold! Overall a winner though!

We have just returned from 2 amazing weeks in Lorraine's gorgeous apartment. The location literally could not be any better, just a few feet from the beach and right next to the immaculately kept private pool area, with shops, restaurants and the bakery within a short walk. There are 3 decent sized bedrooms, a large kitchen/diner/lounge and a shower room with bidet. The jewel in the crown for us was the huge patio with views over the beach and sea and, to the side, the pool. I'm already missing my early morning cuppa out there before the rest of the family awoke! This is clearly a well kept family home which has a great assortment of cooking equipment (there's no oven but there is a microwave/grill, a George Foreman grill and a sandwich toaster) plus tons of local information, books, DVDs (not that we ever sat inside to be able to watch them!) and an assortment of games. On site, all the staff were helpful and attentive and Lorraine was incredibly efficient throughout the whole process, from booking, through to advice whilst we were there. She also arranged for us to be collected in style from the airport as it was my son's 14th birthday: Alex and Stefan who picked us up were a great source of local info and lovely guys too. Alex sings in many of the local bars 6 nights a week and is well worth seeking out for an enjoyable evening's entertainment. We thought the apartment was the best in Santa Maria - and judging by the number of people who admired it as they passed, we were not the only ones! This was our second visit to Sal but our first to this apartment, but I'm certain we'll be returning.

An excellent apartment which is very well equipped and clearly well maintained. Best views in Sal from veranda. Excellent position to explore Santa Maria and the beach.

Dear Lorraine, We came back a few days ago and already miss your apartment, what a wonderful place to stay! You said it's the best apartment and it is! During our stay we haven't seen any apartment we would have preferred above yours. The location is great, next to the beach and the pool. Santa Maria itself was lovely too, nice people and lots of restaurants. We really enjoyed our holiday and so did our kids! Kind regards, Rosalie Veneklaas

A first class apartment, right on the beach, walking distance to all shops, restaurants, bars, excellent owners, very helpful, you could see try are looked after

Appartment was brilliant right on the beach, lovely pool and a very short walk into town with fab local restaurants. Every thing you could want

I never do reviews but this time I had to make an exception. From the moment we booked this apartment the owners were on hand to help in every way, they were informative, helpful and friendly. The apartment itself is spectacular, nothing is forgotten. There are plug adapters, hair dryer, dvds, games, towels, sun lounger cushions (which are well appreciated). You name it they have thought of it. The view is fantastic, the apartment is clean, and we was only there a week and a lady came round and cleaned and changed bed and towels mid way through our stay. Security guard on duty 24/7 although it did not seem at all like it was needed as I felt safe everywhere I went. Even the local people selling things were friendly and not "in your face" at any time. I loved every second of my trip, I make a point of never going back to the same place twice, but think this time I may make an exception.
