"Need improve on breakfast!!!"

Parador De Baiona

10/10 Excellent

"Everything beautiful"

HOTEL BOUTIQUE FARO SILLEIRO

10/10 Excellent

"Este es verdaderamente una joya de hotel. Acondicionado en lo que fue la casa de tres familias responsables del faro de Silleiro. Cada habitación con un diseño propio y de un excelente gusto, vistas espectaculares y un staff que se desvive por atenderte y asegurar que tengas una gran experiencia. Un comedor con muy buenos bocados y vinos y un desayuno espectacular. Lo único que sentimos fue habernos quedado una sola noche en ruta al Camino de Santiago. Lo recomiendo ampliamente."

Alma Candida

8/10 Good

"Everything perfect when we arrived. There was a slight issue with the room key not present in the lock box, but quickly resolved by the young lady. Room spotless and everything you would need for a short stay. A lovely touch with a bottle of water and 2 X mini toblerones. We made good use of the free bikes and only discovered the downstairs kitchen area too late. Lovely veranda to watch the sun setting. All in all, perfect."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Cruz?

The best area to stay in Santa Cruz is along the beachfront, particularly near the main promenade and the historic centre.This area is the heart of Santa Cruz, offering direct access to the expansive sandy beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. The promenade, lined with cafes and seafood restaurants, runs parallel to the Avenida do Mar, making it very pleasant for walks. The historic centre, just a short stroll inland, features traditional Portuguese architecture and local shops.For families, staying near the main beach is ideal. The shallow waters are suitable for children, and there are often facilities like playgrounds and ice cream parlours along the promenade. Many accommodations in this area offer family-friendly apartments with easy access to the beach for a day of sun and sand.Couples looking for a relaxing coastal getaway will also appreciate this area. They can enjoy romantic strolls along the beach at sunset, dine at the numerous beachfront restaurants, and explore the quaint streets of the historic centre.

When is the best time to go to Santa Cruz?

This makes it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the coastal paths.
