Service was excellent. Bike rentals were nice as well

Joe, United States of America

Beautifully designed property - rooms and common areas (inside and outdoor spaces), lovely view from room balcony, welcoming staff with great suggestions (and directions) about what to see around the island. A lovely, small inn, that was a pleasure to return to at the end of the day.

Kyle, United States of America

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.

The breakfast and coffee was not great. Didn’t feel like a good value for our money honestly. We would choose somewhere else next time.
We loved the pool and restaurant on site. The staff was very kind and accommodating:

Room 101 served all my expectations. Being met by the lovely Vera and meeting her staff set the benchmark for a most memorable and happy first visit to Santa Maria & the beautiful Azores. The food was just right - clearly, your staff are ecologically aware, avoid waste and treat their clients like friends. Bravissimo!

“Perfect stay on a magnificent little island”

Actually I loved everything at this charming hotel on this very beautiful, little island! The only bad thing to say has nothing to do with the hotel. There are neighbours who have very noisy dogs, especially during evening hours. I felt very annoyed by these dogs. But of course the fault is not at all caused by the hotel.
Without any doubt this is the very best hotel on Santa Maria island! It is located in the heart of Vila do Porto, the island’s capital. The hotel opened in 2016 only. Everything is new and in best condition. Very clean. Extremely helpful and kind staff. Very nice room (book the SUPERIOR category!), good and big bed. Restaurant is excellent, with delicious food and 2 very kind waitresses. I liked the pool area and garden. Furniture all over in this small 15 rooms hotel is very nice.

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.

the hotel could have told me that you can rent bicycles for 5€/day on the homepage. Everything else was excellent.
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

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.
