Vila Louro, hotel in Santa Cruz

Located in Silveira, Vila Louro provides free bikes. With an outdoor swimming pool, the property also features barbecue facilities. Both free WiFi and private parking are accessible on site.

I can’t imagine a more perfect place to stay in this area of Portugal. This was a last minute change of itinerary for us and a highlight of the trip. The house has so much character and so well appointed. The location is very close, just minutes to the coastline. Our room was very nice and bed super comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. 10 stars!

Santa, Sea & Sun, hotel in Santa Cruz

Located in Santa Cruz, Santa, Sea & Sun features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a grill.

Everything is likable about this nice place. It's located walking distance from the beach and in a small town, almost all facilities are nearby. The facility is impeccably clean, and there is pride of ownership. The breakfast is excellent and even though I was the only person at the end of the season, they treated me like the most valued traveler. Of all the beach towns in Portugal, this is my MOST favorite

Promar - Eco Beach & Spa Hotel, hotel in Santa Cruz

Featuring a large seaside terrace and free WiFi, Promar - Eco Beach & Spa Hotel is an award-winning ecological hotel in Porto Novo.

Our room had an amazing view of the beach. It was clean and spacious. Staff were mostly very nice, only one woman at the reception did not smile. We ate at the restaurant which was a bit expensive but good food! The breakfast was really good with lots of options. Free parking was great. If you have an e-car, they apparently have a charger, but availability varies. The spa was very nice, with a big pool, a hot tub and different saunas. They apparently write it on the confirmation email, but you have to wear a bathing cap in the spa and rent towels (not allowed to bring the one from the room). Was approx. 10€ (for the purchase of the cap and rental of towel).

    This place is a piece of heaven away from people and touristic craziness if you want to isolate and enjoy slow living. I also recommend visiting Santa Cruz in October, November, December, January, February, March, and April when the tourists are gone and the place seems like pure paradise only for the happiness of your eyes.

    The place is so lovely, the temperature is perfect in Summer as we had 20-25 degrees on average, it is true that the water in the ocean is cold, but it is highly compensated by nice food, good weather and great people. I totally recommend you to try this destination, specifically the "Santa Cruz" apartments, in the Santa Helena building, one of the bests apartments I´ve been.

    Great village to spend the weekend, with long beaches, few people, a lot of sun, and affordable restaurants with amazing fresh food! You must try our variety of grilled fish! There are also cool bars to take a drink at night

    What an excellent stay! The room is what I would call a "standard" hotel room. It has a balcony which is nice, bed was comfortable, good pillows (for us, as we don't like them too big!). The included breakfast is basic but adequate, the staff (particularly the gentleman who checked us in) were wonderful. And to to it off there was an amazing drummer band parade on the street right outside our room - honestly the best surprise ever and we had the very best view of it imaginable!! What a highlight

    Literally the coolest hotel we have ever stayed in. We were greeted with a warm drink and a freshly baked cookie on arrival. The hotel directly faced the beach with rugged, stormy waves and you could view the beach from your own private deck or from every floor of the hotel as there were gorgeous decks with fire pits across the front of each floor of the main hotel. Food was lovely. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Lovely surf shop underneath.

    Healthy, delicious breakfast featuring fresh, local produce cheese, and yogurt. Lovely ocean views! Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds and organic garden. Jogging along the coastline before breakfast was also divine. Yoga teacher Miguel was fantastic. Also, enjoyed the special Japanese fusion tasting menu (best tasting menu experience I've ever had!) & cooking session with the chef (straight from the hotel's garden). Can't wait to return.

    Beautiful villas with private pool which are well appointed and well equipped. We stayed in the villa green with a family of 4 and it was the luxury and private space we hoped for. Having access to the hotel lobby, bar and pool (if you are over 16 years) was the cherry on top as it was peaceful and child free. The staff are all amazing and so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble! A perfect 5 star holiday place , we were blown away !

    Exceptionally beautiful garden with a spacious, clean pool of perfect temperature. Super friendly and helpful personnel who make you feel at home and have good suggestions. Great location near the laid back and beautiful beach of Santa Cruz and in relative proximity to Lisbon, Sintra, Nazaré and Obidos. Our children of many different ages all loved our stay!

    A very tired hotel but well run with excellent staff. The breakfast was pretty average. The location was very central and easy to find restaurants, cafes, and the beaches. We discovered probably the best restaurant ever experienced in Portugal located on the beach. Setting extraordinary and food outstanding. Highly recommend eating there.

    I had a great couple of days in Casa da Praia. João and Daniela are doing everything to make you feel as comfortable as possible. The apartment is cozy and lovingly furnished with everything you need. The beaches that are around Santa Cruz are stunning and in town you find great restaurants. All in all the perfect seaside get-away!

    What a gem. Randomly came across the Santa Beach House, searching for an affordable last minute stay by the coast + beach, before ending our trip to Portugal. Thank you for putting Santa Cruz on the map for us, the comfortable stay and warm hospitality. Would return again in the future!

    My room with private bathroom was immaculate. Just lovely. I wish I could stay longer. My hosts were amazing and this hotel/hostel is a family run business. I travel a lot and this was a great experience. Close to the beach too and restaurants.
