Guestbook
Book Just to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Santa Maria, it was everything I had hoped it would be and more. I would also like to thank you for the help you gave us in finding our way around, one day I shall learn to speak Italian!!. We shall certainly be back. Thanks again Margaret and Bob I just wanted to say thank you, we had a lovely stay in your apartment which we thought was absolutely marvellous. It was ideal for my mum and the children because she could stay in while we went down to the beach and she could shout down if she needed us. It was a perfect location and I am so glad we were able to stay there. I will most definitely be contacting you again. Thanks again. Regards Caterina We had a great holiday in Santa Maria the place was even more than we expected - the terrace with great sea views, the beach right there , great apartment, nice cosy village thank you we can warmly recommend the place to anyone best regards Milla, Peter, Mattias and Mikki from Finland
