Lock in a great price for Charming Blue – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Very friendly and helpful staff! We really appreciated them and felt appreciated. Clean and lovely. Dessert - the house cheesecake with pumpkin jam paired with port - was one of the better desserts I’ve had in my life. The finest place to stay on Santa Maria. Excellent value.

Jessica, United States of America

Maybe the most charming hotel ever! Perfect location above the marina and very close to the south hiking trails. Right in the center of town ...although town is tiny. The staff was lovely and very accomadating. I was so happy to find this little gem!

Nicole, United States of America

Modern clean and well cared for a fairly new hotel

Giles, United States of America

The staff were wonderful, fun to interact with and very helpful in helping me find what I needed in Santa Maria. The hotel is modern, beautifully designed and executed and extremely clean. Great wifi too!(Unlike any place I stayed in Lisbon where the service reminded me of dial up in the 1980's.)

Fred, United States of America

Modern boutique hotel in the heart of Vila do Porto. All the staff were friendly and bent over backwards to accommodate our requests, they were able to rent us scooters even though everywhere else on the island had no scooters. The room is modern, clean and comfortable, the bed is like sleeping on a cloud. The shower is wonderful, not only was the pressure great but had two shower heads and we are looking into buying a similar shower now. The pool was clean and secluded.

Jesus, United States of America

We absolutely loved our stay at Charming Blue. It's a cute hotel with a modern style and good location right in Vila do Porto. The property was very clean and well kept including the pool. The best part about of our stay was the staff who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and felt welcome, every person we interacted with was so friendly and accommodating! The breakfast was also very good and fresh! We will definitely come back to Charming Blue!

Jocelyn, United States of America

the breakfast is quite good, the staff is awesome, outstanding warm and intelligent reception personel with lots of knowledge about the island, the cleaning staff did a great job, the restaurant made an excellent performance, I had the best tuna steak in my life for lunch. the ccoperation with smatur and the other event agencies on the island works great. Santa Maria is the most beautiful island I've ever seen and the Charming Blue is the best hotel I've ever been to as a single person. Just excellent. Dear staff, thanks to all of you, especially the reception staff, for a great vacation, I won't forget you. Florian

Florian, Germany

Ideal location in Vila del Porto, spotless, peaceful, very comfortable with very good facilities and extremely friendly staff. Excellent restaurant. Don't be mislead by its map position which suggests it is not central - the port itself is down a hill from the main town and Charming Blue is indeed central. Perfect both as a base to explore Santa Maria and as a place to relax and read in the lovely pool area. Very fairly priced for the quality and we would definitely go back. Apparently the company is opening a second hotel in Pico at the end of the year which would be in our plans when we return to visit the western island group.

Great location. Friendly staff minus the male manager of the restaurant. He seemed to have an attitude.

Wonderful

The breakfast had slightly less variety than expected from a 4* hotel, but was good quality. The bedroom didn't have a separate window, so one had to leave the balcony door open to get fresh air overnight, although this wasn't an issue as we encountered no mosquitoes, just a few house flies. We found the decor in the restaurant dining room , stairwells and outside by the swimming pool to be modern and minimalistic, but not 'charming' as such . We would have liked to see some pictures , photographs or artefacts from the past to help provide more ambience.
We had a quiet room with a small balcony on the second floor with comfy beds and nice views over the pool towards the hills, fields and windfarm beyond, .. Staff were excellent - knowledgeable and helpful. The hotel's rental bicycles were good vfm, especially as they had different frame sizes , and safety helmets were included. Although it is only a few km from the airport, we heard no aircraft noise.

No complaints. Breakfast does start a little later than in some hotels (8am) and there is no coffee service in the room, so be prepared if you are a coffee fanatic with an early morning :). We debated buying coffees the night before and leaving them in the fridge, but ultimately didn’t. One option though!
