Great place to unwind

A bit of a hidden gem. Had a great stay here. Alberto was very welcoming on check in. Had a secluded feel about the place which was exactly what I was looking for. The apartment itself was very spacious and home like. Short walk from the beach where there were a few beach bars/restaurant. Towards the centre you will find a number of different supermarkets and restaurants. Recommended!

The property is in a good location and there are shops, restaurants, and the beach all within a 15-minute walk. It’s not located somewhere too busy like the main road so it's very peaceful. The apartment that I stayed in was very cozy and clean, with a well-equipped kitchenette. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay and I highly recommend staying here. Thank you for the pleasant stay, Alberto!

Great place and location

Very close to the airport, 10 Euros, but not invasive. I stayed in the penthouse suite, which is fantastic. Very clean, modern and well kept, like whole place. Very friendly staff Beach and bars 7-8 minutes walk. Closest restaurant is 3 minutes walk with geat seafood. Town centre with mini-mart and ATM's is 10 minutes walk. Dinner for 1 with booze between €20 and €25. Everything is cheap in comparison to the UK. Highly recommended as a great place to stay.

Une excellente adresse à Boa Vista

Trés beau séjour dans cet (appart) hotel à Sal Rei sur Boa Vista. Alberto et son équipe sont trés accueillants et serviables. Les appartements sont très propres, pratiques (une cuisine équipée permet de prendre ses repas ce qui évite d'aller tous les jours au restaurant). Le roof top est top! la ville est à 5 minutes ainsi que la plus belle plage (Estoril) où l'on pratique Wingfoil et Kite.

La struttura e molto bella e gli appartamenti sono spaziosi e comodi. La pulizia è massima. La cosa incredibile è l'assistenza che ti viene assicurata da Alberto e Monica, i titolari e gestori del residence. Se alloggi qui puoi tranquillamente essere un turista fai da te. Verrai assistito in tutto, dal cambio valuta al transfer per qualsiasi destinazione, alle escursioni in Quad, alla risoluzione di problemi di volo (e noi ne abbiamo avuti). Se decidete di visitare Boa Vista scegliete Cala Da Lua, non ve ne pentirete

Calm and space, great hospitality and location

We felt at home from day one, without ever feeling that the owner or the staff took us for granted. Always attentive to questions and needs. Never imposing. An example: the apartment was cleaned every day when we went out, irrespectively when we left. It reflects a genuine concern for the guests that I have not found elsewhere. Professional and friendly at the same time. The apartment was great. A well spaced terrace where it is possible to drink tea, do yoga and hand laundry at the same time. A combined living room and kitchen allows for different activities at the same time, preparing food and reading. The bedroom had wardrobes and shelves sufficient for a month stay and longer. The bathroom had shower and bidet. Everything clean and well maintained. The hotel is situated about 200 meters from the never ending beaches. About 200 meters in the opposite direction, we found an Italian ice cream bar where we became regulars. Other stores were also close at hand. Perfect location. During the night some donkeys passed and expressed their views for a minute or so. Otherwise it is very calm. After two weeks at Cala Da Lua, we felt truly relaxed. We cannot think of a better place representing the spirit of Boa Vista.

Boa Vistan helmi

Siisti ja rauhallinen paikka. Huoneet erittäin tilavia, viihtyisiä ja toimivia. Rannalle ja keskustaan lyhyt ja helppo kävelymatka. Palvelu oli erinomaista ja hotellin omistaja antoi hyviä vinkkejä, mitä tehdä ympäri saarta. Muutenkin palvelu oli todella ystävällistä ja vaikka englantia ei välttämättä puhuttu kauhean hyvin, henkilökunta todella huolehti siitä, että asiat tuli selväksi ja vieraat viihtyivät. Todella hyvä paikka!

Super leilighet

Manager Alberto ordnet store og små problemer for oss. Veldig rent og ryddig leilighetshotell. Helt supert med egen privat takterrasse med både stoler og solesenger. Utsikt til solnedgang og sjøen. Kun 2 minutter å gå til super badestrand med strandstoler. Men skulle ønske det var aircondition, og ikke bare vifter i taket. Ellers var alt topp.
