When to rent a villa in Santa Maria

Santa Maria enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, making it an ideal destination for a villa holiday throughout the year. The warmest months are June to September, with average highs reaching 25°C (77°F), perfect for swimming and outdoor activities like golfing and water sports. If you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere and lower prices, consider visiting during the shoulder season (April-May or September-October), when the weather is still pleasant, but the crowds are smaller.

If you don't mind cooler temperatures, the winter months (December to February) can be a great time to visit Santa Maria if you're on a budget. Many villa owners offer discounted rates during this period, and the village takes on a charmingly quiet atmosphere. The mild winters also make it an ideal time for walking, hiking, and exploring the surrounding countryside. Whatever your preference, Santa Maria offers a unique experience regardless of the season, so consider planning your villa holiday in Santa Maria at any time of year!

Where to go in Santa Maria

For those seeking a lively atmosphere, head to the village centre where you'll find bars, restaurants, and shops lining the cobblestone streets. Alternatively, escape to one of the nearby beaches, such as Meia Praia or São Rafael, which offer stunning stretches of golden sand and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.

For a more secluded experience, consider staying in a quieter area of Santa Maria, such as the countryside or a beachfront apartment. These locations provide the ideal opportunity to relax and unwind, with many villas offering private pools, gardens, and stunning ocean views. Whatever your preference, Santa Maria has something for everyone, ensuring that you'll find the perfect spot to call home during your villa holiday.
