The units are fitted with a kettle, a flat-screen TV and free WiFi, while selected rooms will provide you with a balcony and some have garden views. At the guest house, the units come with bed linen and towels. For me the location was great: outside of center Espargos means no noises at all, super quiet and relaxing neighbourhood. Minimarket was 5 min walking away, nice and cheap restaurant 3 min. I even walked to the airport which was around 40min. The bus station for the collectivos to Santa Maria (scooter rental) is 20min walking. The room and the house is superclean, modern, and the owner is really friendly, and nearly always available via booking or WhatsApp. He speaks Portugese, Englisch, spanish and french... He has mountain bikes for rent (just 7km to the Salinas), and in the near future also scooter. The room is big with a big bed and a comfy matrace. There is a table and chairs. Also there are enough plugs to charge your stuff. The bathroom looks / is new and has a shower with hot water. The WiFi works great. I loved staying here! Definitely recommend this place!

All units at the guest house come with a seating area. There is also a well-fitted kitchen in some of the units equipped with a fridge, a stovetop, and kitchenware. At the guest house, units are equipped with a balcony, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV. The Appartment was clean and had a big balcony. The host was really accommodating and made the holiday much more comfortable, showing us around on our first day, giving us ideas of what to do, organising the activities and even driving us around if he had the time. Would recommend 10/10

There are a few restaurants and markets also quite close. The owners are very kind and provided us with some useful tips related to Sal! Very appreciated!

There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. Milu, the owner, is super nice, attentive, goes above and beyond to help you with anything and makes you feel part of the family. The rooms are better than the pictures: huge, clean, comfortable and silent. My room was cleaned daily except for 1 day. The location is good: 10 min walk from Santa Maria, in a quiet area. Breakfast is fantastic and varied. Wifi was fast and also worked in my room.
