STP needs more of this! Trailblazing entrepreneur Yves has built five fantastic beach cottages on a cliff overlooking the sea, with spectacular views from all rooms. A precipitous walkway takes you to the castaway beach below. Arrive with all your groceries, or sign up for the delicious half board (€20), as Yves was a professional chef.
Sea breezes and wave sounds will defuse the most stressed-out urbanite. Don't expect perfection, as there is a home-made aspect to everything, but it's all part of the charm, and the on-site staff can handle anything. The nearby resort, Club Santana, is also a great resource for its restaurants, bars, beach and activities.
