Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: limited access and quiet stay. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Town or village
Vila do Porto
Vila do Porto reads from the sea and into, with a natural progression between street, square and coastal areas. The coastal rhythm gives a calm but clear identity, especially when walking down the bay. The place highlights ambiences of light more than building facts.
Place
Anjos
In Anjos, the city offers a simple yet clear frame of neighborhoods, streets and access to the coast. Local materials and intermediate views construct a concrete reading of Santa Maria. A moderate walk reveals some frame details that go unnoticed in speed.
Place
Baía de São Lourenço
In Baía de São Lourenço, the bay opens to a soft light that changes as the tide changes. The rocks, the sea and the small coves give an immediate reading of Santa Maria without any staging, ideal to feel the island in a few steps. It is a good stop when you want to pass from lively villages to a face-to-face direct with the coast.
