    Pros +

    • Very peaceful ,friendly staff ,5star service.
    • Gorgeous sunset view over the sea, rooms are confortable and clean, staff and restaurant were nice as well.
    • We had really nice ocean view from our room, which was very spacious and clean with enormous size bed. The breakfast was great and delicious with everything one could want. The restaurant we loved also, they have superb steaks and skewers. The latters have really cool presentations too... All in all a very good deal for your money!

    Cons -

    • Nothing everything was excellent
    • Breakfast was ok but not special, and the location doesnt really allow you to walk to a restaurant or a shop because its up the hill in a small village that doesnt have much, you'll always need a car.
    • The swimming pool was cold and a bit dirty. The breakfast was really poor and all the same for 4 mornings of our stay. The food was not replenished and half hour before the end of breakfast the offer was really poor. Just 2 types of vegetables. It was disappointment and that is the reason why we go for dinner somewhere else.The advertised discount in the restaurant was not provided due to a misunderstanding. It is also unusual that the bill in the hotel restaurant had to be paid immediately and could not be credited to the room account.

    Nice design of the building, restaurant and rooms, beautiful sea view.

    very helpful and friendly staff, especially the lady at the reception

    the pool is not heated, the hotel is quite far away from everything, a bit overpriced

    9ZanetaPosted on: 3-18-2025

    spacious room, great ocean view. Very nice staff

    I would appreciate a better coffee for breakfast, not an instant one

    8RebeccaPosted on: 3-8-2025

    Great rooms, convenient location and brilliant staff - highly recommend!

    9LenkaPosted on: 2-21-2025

    The views were briliant (from restaurant and also from terrace), I recomended this hotel,its peacefull place for relaxing. Nice huge rooms with cattle and some teas/caffe bags. If you dont want clean the room you will save 3€/day (can be use in restaurant) + free parking

    Just little far away from everything

    10Balogh C.Posted on: 2-19-2025

    We really liked the view of the room. The breakfast was very good and delicious. The staff is very kind and helpful. They were really flexible with our late check in.

    Everything was good.

    10KateřinaPosted on: 2-17-2025

    It was a great experience! Awesome location, friendly staff, I appreciated that it was adults only and small hotel - really home-feels like.

    nothing!

    8MichalPosted on: 1-6-2025

    - friendly personnel- very comfortable bed- nice view- spacious rooms- wonderful pool (but cold ans useless in the winter)

    - breakfast was good but everything was cold (eggs, bacon, sausages) - first time we came at 9:30 , second right after opening 8:00 am.. in both cases all was cold- rooms equipment (apart from bed) is very simple (tight budget I assume) . Shower not working properly

    8VladPosted on: 12-31-2024

    Very clean, spacious rooms.Nice bathroom and shower.Kind personal and they accommodated late check in - much appreciated!

    Breakfast did not have many options, especially for vegans.No toiletries (like toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving kit etc) so bring your own!

    9HeikePosted on: 12-26-2024

    Super cleanFriendly staffNice bedsGood coffee Great view from the terrace

    More options to do sports like table tennis, stepper, darts or billiards would have been nice.

    7LambertPosted on: 12-6-2024

    Strategic location to explore the north side of Madeira.Comfortable bed and nice balcony!

    Toilet needs a refresh.Breakfast could be improved with more local/fresh products.The "infinity" pool is not exaclty like showed in the pics..bit smaller that expected!

    10NelitaPosted on: 10-31-2024

    Everything was so amazing.I had a wonderful birthday time.Enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was amazing a lot to choose from.Friendly staff.Thank you so much?

    There is nothing to complain about.

    9BagnoudPosted on: 10-28-2024

    Nice and quiet little hotel if you have a car, the restaurant and breakfast were really good and the staff was very nice! The pool was big and clean and there weren't a lot of people around. Would recommend!

    6GabePosted on: 10-3-2024

    Comfy bed, clean and nice pool.

    Building work nearby, so not very peaceful by the pool. Never any staff around at reception. Restaurant not very good compared to other restaurants we went to in Madeira.

    9DmitryPosted on: 9-29-2024

    Good standard of the room, I was very impressed with the size and quality of the double-bed. Breakfast buffet was included and there were fruits. They also have restaurant and bar is open until 10 pm, so if you drive then this place is a qood choice

    All of the electric appliances made some noises during the night (buzzing), so it could get hard to fall asleep in a sober state

    10LenkaPosted on: 9-27-2024

    We loved our stay at this hotel. Small, all staff was super friendly and accommodating. The pool is great for relaxing in late afternoon before dinner. And do not miss going for dinner at the hotel restaurant - the food is great! Sit on the patio overlooking the ocean and enjoy the beautiful sunset sipping on wine. Passion fruit mousse is a must have!

    Would have appreciated better bathroom amenities
