Since 1994 we have spent our holidays in Santa Maria in various apartment in the area. In 2003 we stayed in Villa De Santis for the 1st time, and have been back every year since. What impressed me most was the well laid out apartments, very well equipped, spacious, and the very large balcony with views over the town of Santa Maria, and the sea beyond.
The apartments are close to the town, about 5 mins walk to the centre, yet are very private and tranquil. Access is via a security gate with ample car parking. Each apartment has its own entrance and a view of the swimming pool and the sea.
We like the fact that the owner Vicenzo lives on site, so in the unlikely event that anything goes wrong, he is only a short distance away. We found Vincenzo and his sons Marco and Roberto very helpful but unobtrusive.
We have made many friend in Santa Maria over the years. The town has plenty of restaurants and shopping and a chance to sample the Italian way of life.
We can highly recommend Villa De Santis as a comfortable and very good value place to stay!
