"The host greeted us at the gate with keys and a quick tour of the lovely property. This house is the best location in which we have ever stayed: Attention to detail is evident everywhere from the bed and bath linens to the kitchenware to the overall design of the unit’s layout. Very clean and brightly lit, yet with excellent privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and quite suitable for a stroll to view others' gardens. Guest comfort is paramount though and through."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Cruz?
The best area to stay in Santa Cruz is along the beachfront, particularly near the main promenade and the historic centre.

This area is the heart of Santa Cruz, offering direct access to the expansive sandy beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. The promenade, lined with cafes and seafood restaurants, runs parallel to the Avenida do Mar, making it very pleasant for walks. The historic centre, just a short stroll inland, features traditional Portuguese architecture and local shops.

For families, staying near the main beach is ideal. The shallow waters are suitable for children, and there are often facilities like playgrounds and ice cream parlours along the promenade. Many accommodations in this area offer family-friendly apartments with easy access to the beach for a day of sun and sand.

Couples looking for a relaxing coastal getaway will also appreciate this area. They can enjoy romantic strolls along the beach at sunset, dine at the numerous beachfront restaurants, and explore the quaint streets of the historic centre.
When is the best time to go to Santa Cruz?
The best time to visit Santa Cruz is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.

During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C, with plenty of sunshine. This makes it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the coastal paths. The ocean temperatures are also at their warmest, making water sports more enjoyable.

Families often find July and August particularly appealing due to the school holidays, allowing for extended stays and a relaxed pace. The town is bustling with activities and events during these months, suiting all ages.

For couples seeking a slightly quieter experience while still enjoying excellent weather, June and September are superb choices. The crowds are thinner, but the pleasant temperatures remain, great for romantic strolls along the beach or dining al fresco.

While the summer is the most popular time, those interested in surfing might find the shoulder seasons of May and October offer good waves with fewer people.
