This is a lovely, quiet spot with clean, spacious rooms and a pretty garden that was excellent for our little boy to run around in. He played on the little playground and swam in the pool and it was perfect! Phillipe was always on hand to assist if we needed anything too. We really enjoyed our stay!

    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

    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 !

    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!

    The hosts are really lovely, kind and they really love to host people. They prepared for me an extra vegan breakfast (which was amazing). The place is quiet, perfectly organized, clean and cozy. If I go to Santa Cruz again, I would go to the hostel again for sure! :)

    Amazing location, swimming pool, breakfast, facilities, room and staff. Skateboards, surfskate and bikes are free to use. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Santa cruz is the best location to visit both ericeira and peniche with more than 30 surf spots.

    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.
