We hadn’t stayed in Porto da Cruz before, it’s a quaint little surf town on the coast. The house is older but in a great location for anyone who wants to get around without using a car. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, the beds were really hard so be prepared. Check out Dino’s Bar right under the house, fantastic poncha and a nice location for walking.

Beautifully situated little village with everything you need for a "slow life" relaxing, stress free stay!

A small but very cozy town.
A small but very cozy town. Has few local supermarkets, few good restaurants and snack bars with a perfect food. Amazing rock views. Also you must visit a Madeira rum factory, that is located in this town and taste it. This town has 2 beaches and 1 local natural pool.

Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea.
Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea. Excellent restaurants serving fresh, traditional food at very reasonable prices.
Great sea water swimming pool and coastline walks.
Not easy if you’re using public transport as buses are infrequent.

Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills...
Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills and sheer cliffs. Magnificent scenery around. Ideal for surfers. Pleasant climate when we visited in April. Flowers all around in full bloom. If you're looking for an active holiday hiking in nature and tranquil evenings, this is the place to come. Having a head for heights is a bonus. Or take gentler trails to get used to sometimes dizzying drops at your own pace. We stayed outside of Porto da Cruz in a little house about 20 mins walk away nestling on a green hill that sloped gently into a valley. Small streams abound taking water down to the sea. Expect birdsong everywhere, especially in the mornings punctuated with cocks crowing from small farmsteads peppered around the slopes. Frogs also joined in with their springtime mating calls trilling the air. Food was simple but from high quality local produce. We'd recommend this area and a visit to Madeira to those needing to get back to nature and a sustainable approach to life. Not too much litter in and around the town. Either local groups clearing up or tourists in general are conscious and careful to respect the natural beauty of the environment by leaving as little trace of their passing as possible.

It's a small town, beach not usable, outdoor pool in bad conditions, room not clean (shower and floor ) two places for hiking: one is dangerous, one is steap and boring, no view
Everything is damp, not much sun
Big and comfortable house. Big sunny terrace with amazing view. If the house was not a bit cold it would have been perfect. The host was very nice, generous and reactive. We were offered fruits at arrival, then a bottle of wine which was excellent and when we asked for heaters because it was cold, they brought 2 electric heaters. Porto da Cruz is a very nice village and the bus stops nearby the house so it’s easy to go to the village and it’s natural swimming pool if one doesn’t want to go by foot.
The apartment was very comfy, it has everything the family of 2, 3 or 4 may need plus the view! The host Guadalupe was very nice :) The garrage was a real asset once you get use to parking in it. But once you do, you may as well consider yourself a local in Madeira :) We spent a week in Feb 2022 and we loved everything about it. Very private and very Madrean. You cant compare it to a hotel because it feels like home. We can recommend it to anybody. And Porto da Cruz is the best!
Cute small hotel with an amazing view. Most of the rooms have balcony and Seaview. It's very close to the sea, one can hear the sound the waves. Staff was friendly. Room was fair, not too modern but clean. Restaurant was at ground floor. Breakfast and dinner were good. Staff was friendly. There are surf schools nearby and some nice walks. The view is really one of the nicest we had in maderia.
The location. We loved coming “home” to Porto da Cruz. Great and friendly people, good local food, and rainbows every day-usually doubles!
The space was terrific, beds very comfortable and plenty of hot water. We had planned hikes in the northeast while there and very happy everything was within 20 minutes drive. Luna was a fabulous host, very responsive and made us feel so relaxed.

The house is located at the edge of the village to Porto da Cruz (5 mins downhill walk to village). The village is very cute, with a lovely natural salt water swimming pool maintained by local municipal (1.5€ for the adults), a few reasonable restaurants at the seafront, a bakery, and a supermarket. The house has a lovely garden and beautiful seaview.
Great location on the sea front with beautiful views. Friendly and helpful staff who are very professional. Letitia at reception gave useful information about local hikes and Nelson the manager had such attention for detail, such as putting fresh flowers from his mother's garden in the restaurant. Spotlessly clean and covid safe hotel.
The location was great, beautiful view at the ocean and the surfers.
The furniture and equipment were a bit outdated, but that is not a big deal.
There was a nice big BBQ that we used several times.
It was a short walk to the nearby village Porto Da Cruz.
The dishwasher was broken, but someone was sent over to fix that promptly.
Our 5 night stay in Vivenda Linda Vista was absolutely great. We loved the view from the terrace! Porto da Cruz, and this apartment, were for us a great base to explore some great hikes in the vicinity. You can also easily walk to the center of the village for a dinner or some drinks next to the sea. Totally recommended!
The studio is set up well - everything you need and very organized. Located close to a mini-mercado for conveniences. Just a short 5 minute drive to beautiful Porto Da Cruz and the surf spots. The studio is very clean and comfortable. There were a lot of thoughtful touches like a drying rack for clothes.
We were extremely happy with everything. A car is useful if you stay here to visit other parts of the island. You can easily walk to Porto da Cruz and the beaches around. Helpful and kind property owner made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back.
Rodrigo was a wonderful host! The house is very unique and it has a great vibe. The location is perfect for exploring Porto da Cruz. The beach is less than 5 min walking distance and we spend quite a lot of time there just watching the waves and surfers.
No breakfast. Very convenient to Porto da Cruz shore, restaurants and walking paths. The owners were very quick to respond to our needs and any issues with the lodging. Secure parking for our rental car.
The hotel had beach access, and it was beautiful. It was easy to drive around the island with a launch point of Porto da Cruz. The breakfast was delicious, and the room was quiet.
