Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Vila do Maio

We so enjoyed staying at this lovely apartment in Maio! We especially appreciated the generous space and the lovely porch, with chairs for sitting and looking out toward the ocean. There are lots of nearby restaurants, so we didn't use the kitchen much, but it's well-equipped for home cooking. The apartment is near two beaches - the public beach that's very close is good for swimming, and Ponta Preta, a 10 minute walk away, is lovely for long walks by a beautiful ocean. Hans-Peter is a super helpful host, with lots of knowledge about Maio; the airport pick-up was especially helpful! We'd certainly stay here again.

We spent a week here and it was excellent. The house is basic but comfy. The property is very calm and since the studio is on a side path, not many people walk in front. The pool and it's view on the ocean and sunset is just breathtaking. The beach down a few stairs is super nice and easy sandy access to swim. When snorkeling you can spot some very nice fish and rock formation. The property is minutes away from the center, shops and food places. Make sure to try "Cha-cha Chicken" (location on G.maps, just 1 minute walk) and the tuna (atum) at the restaurant on the Fort José. The welcoming was great, the staff is very friendly. There was no welcome basket for us at arrival but it is not important. We got picked up at the port by someone with a Stella Maris sign (which is the name of the property). Pick up was fast and no issues there. Overall very nice stay and would recommend to anyone looking for peace, great swimming experiences and easy access to town.

I only stayed at this property for one night through Airbnb, but the experience was so positive that I decided to extend the stay privately. The accommodation is perfect: attention to detail, very clean, with a breathtaking sea view. A corner of peace and beauty, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the island. The host was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, I'd be happy to come back!

Very nice and hidden place, Carvalho is a very nice host and made our very short stay enjoyable. He opened the restaurant for us when we arrived late and the food was delicious! thanks for the nice experience

Stella Maris is a very well maintained conduminium. Many plants and flowers and well kept grounds. Our villa Atùn was on a corner with a nice terrace with sea views and very close to the pool. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Hanspeter was a accommodating host and we are grateful for his energetic organizational support ahead of our trip. The bungalows are very nicely decorated and extremely clean. They are located on the outskirts of the village, it is only a few minutes walk to the beach and there is a little more peace in the evening than in the village center. If you are looking for relaxation and tranquility paired with warm climate, Maio and Hanspeter will not be disappointed!

I recommend this place to all future visitors, sea view, nice locations, property, free Wi-Fi, saltwater pool, shop 2 minutes walk away,great place to rest.
