Wonderful, safe and comfortable apartment / complex.
We stayed three weeks in Jeanette's spacious and ideally located apartment.
The communications with her prior, during and after our stay were prompt and accurate. Everything described prior to the booking about the apartment was correct. There is an ample supply of cooking pots/pans, plates, glasses, cooking tools, etc. Also bedding/linen/towel supply was more than sufficient, all in high, good standard.
Her local representatives Lizy and Stuart had prepared the apartment, welcome basket and the transportation from the airport as promised.
Vila Verde is a very safe and beautiful complex. In Lantana complex, where we stayed, there is a good pool with many sun chairs. If one needs action and/or refreshments during the day, nearby complex Cactus pool bar offers that.
Pizzas from the complex bakery were delicious and the sport bar in the Lantana building served tasty cocktails. There is also a small supermarket, which offers daily basic items, in the Calistemon building.
The walk to Santa Maria took about 20 minutes (15 on the very windy day). Free shuttle bus runs few times a day there, but appeared to be quite full always. A taxi ride costs 3 euro and there are always taxis stand-by in front of the reception area (Cactus building).
There are several small, mostly Chinese operated supermarkets in Santa Maria for the self caterers. The fish lovers will find very reasonable priced fresh fish on every day at the jetty in Santa Maria.
There are many restaurants in Santa Maria. Some of the locals offering a good value to the money, some non-locals not.
