Hotels near Santa Maria Airport - SMA, Vila do Porto

We enjoyed our stay on this beautiful Island, the people, the beaches, the quaint town with its lovely cafe's and restaurants. We had a great taxi driver Roberto Moniz who spoke English and took us on a day trip around the island, he gave us lots of information and historical facts. We went diving with Haliotis Aventuras Submersas and it was magical swimming with 30-40 mantarays. Hotel Colombo was nice and included breakfast. We stayed 4 nights because of flights only twice a week but did need a couple of extra days to explore. The proprietor at the local pub knew a lot of the Island and its history, great place to eat and drink. We went at the beginning of August and the weather was great.
