Top Santa Bárbara Hotel Reviews

Casa Santa Maria

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible location, great communication and no issues whatsoever. Ana was a great host. Very close to Monk Surf Shop to get some great food!!!"

Casa dos Magalhães

8/10 Good

"This property is like a family cottage, friendly and cozy. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been modernized. Two main bedrooms, two bunk rooms great for families. We were two women so it was great to have a large bed and bathroom for each of us. The beach is very close and there is a "sea pool" there as well. The only negative is that you have to park at the street in public parking. This was not a problem for us as it was off season, it may be in high season. We enjoyed our stay. "
