The Quinta was very nice. Bed was extremely comfortable. There was a fireplace but we didn't use. Beautiful flowers around the grounds. The location is up in the mountains about 1/2 hour from Funchal. There was a Sunday market in town as well as some small markets and places to eat. A storm Monday night took out the electricity when we awoke in the morning. Very clean place and lots of room. We had a 1 bedroom unit. Was great to have a kitchen and fridge to make coffee in the morning.

The chalet was spacious, clean and comfortable and even with the windows open at night the aircraft noise did not disrupt my sleep though I was bothered by mosquitoes on my last night.
Lovely to have use of a washing machine and detergent and to have a drying rack available in the chalet.

Santa Cruz is a small seaside village at the end of the runway. There are enough cafes and restaurants to keep you occupied along with some nice little parks and a good play ground if you have kids. The weather is just perfect.

Very good service by everybody, even the manager helped me get my car out, the breakfast staff did food for my special needs, the reception were very welcoming, it was clean & modern & I liked the mint water & that the hotel has a private garage.
Very good standard close to the airport & the small town center.
Only minus was that I'd wished for a heated jacuzzi .-)

Nice village from were to start exploring the eastern part of Madeira. The airport and the motorway are nearby and you'll be in Funchal in 30min. by car.
There isn't much to do in Santa Cruz but there is a few bars and restaurants to enjoy the evening, a public swimming pool, a couple of shops and you can spend some time on the beach.

The house located between Garajau and Canico.
The house located between Garajau and Canico. Cristo Rei in Garajau is a must to visit. Here hop on the cable car and take a look to Garajau beach. The beach is stony, there're much more nicer beaches to visit. Worth to eat at Talho do Canico, a tarditional grill bar in the centre of Canico. Taste tangerine poncha in La Carbonara in Garajau, the closest bar to the house.
If you visit Madeira in April don't miss out the flower carneval in Funchal!
Visit Sanatana to see the old traditional triangle shaped houses and visit Faial and Porto Moniz for the spectacular beach views.

I would say, Santa Cruz is not worth visiting unless you have an early flight... There is nothing special to see. The Palm beach does not seem very nice and clean (there are big black stones on the beach - they are not comfortable to lay and to go to swim).
The marina is quite short and it finishes by the swimming pool and the akvapark, but they were closed in March.
I had a dinner at the restaurant Biletheira and the tuna steak was really good (12 Eur)!
Santa Cruz is very near Funchal, so you can go to Funchal by bus and you can spend your time in the capital city.
The stay at this hostel exceeded our expectations. We chose it because of its location near the airport. Initially we were afraid of the noise but in our room we did not hear any noise from the airplanes nor the restaurants and the beaches that surround it. Very comfortable beds and a very good location. Best nights slept on the islands were in this hotel. Bus Expresso to Funchal and Machico is only 5min away by foot. Very underrated accomodation where we very much enjoyed our (short) stay. Aircon was a very precious plus, game changing !
This place is an exceptional value. Where will you find in Madeira an accommodation with breakfast for 60 EUR a night, Swimming pool and sun deck terrace? Nowhere! Modern attachment to old building, well sound proofed too, with closed windows the outside noise was blocked to minimum. Due to extreme noise of landing and taking off aircraft every few minutes from nearby airport you will really appreciate this. Mini Supermarket only few meters from the hotel and Santa Cruz village centre with restaurants and promenade about 10 minutes.
I was pleasantly surprised how close the apartment was to the beach area of Santa Cruz. Also very nice fruit/veg shop, pharmacy and bakery/coffeeshop under the apartment block. The public transport is very easy to get to Funchal as well as Machico beach. Some busses will take you the scenic route. At the same time there is plenty of space to park you car in a safe place under the apartment block. The apartment has 2 bathrooms and the kitchen is a decent size. The washing machine does help too and I was amazed by the gigantic balcony.
Everything at the highest level. Equipment in the house is new - from the kettle to the washing machine, iron, large fridge to pots. Purely. Fast wi-fi. Close to shops, restaurants, beach and bus stop. Because all of Santa Cruz is located near the airport, you can hear planes landing, but it's not the fault of the house owner. Contact with the owner sensational, if I needed something, it was enough to write / call. A week spent in great conditions. I recommend.
Ana and Joao, our hosts, were superb! Beautiful island, stunning scenery, wonderful hosts (worth repeating!!!) and accommodation, and the warm, welcoming, kind Madeiran people. Had a magnificent time! Oh, and the food and restaurants are top class, most especially in Santa Cruz! We were also able to do some 'planespotting' due to the residences' proximity to the airport, but there was no issue whatsoever with noise. I was very, very sad to leave!!!
The great location, you can just walk from airport to here, and in the same time there is no noise from planes. Great views and also you are 10 minutes ride from sand beach. Also the hotel propose a great tour which shows you almost the whole island and it is pretty cheap. The food in the hotel is super tasty and each evening you have different dishes, including traditional Madeira food. The personal of the hotel is really nice and ready to help.
Location is the best advantage of this apartment. Close to the airport (even on foot), close to the beach (rocky), 20 minutes by car to Funchal. Santa Cruz is a nice and silent city with several good restaurants and rocky beach. Apartment offers good view on planes landing at the airport, and great view on the ocean. There are washing machine and dishwasher, which are useful in case of longer stay. Garage parking lot is also very convenient.
Hotel staff was marvelous in accommodating us, from cleaning the rooms everyday to upgrading our room to even putting a minifridge in the room when we asked about a common fridge. Rooms were basic but comfortable, with plenty of hot water and a bathtub.
Location is superb, walkable from the Rodoeste bus stop and very near the beachfront, restaurants, and supermarkets.
Gorgeous apartment in a great location just a short walk from Santa Cruz town. The family who own the apartment live upstairs in a separate property and couldn't do enough for us! They drove us back up the hill one evening after dinner and to the airport on our last day. We would totally recommend staying here and the restaurants in Santa Cruz are fantastic!
We are big travelers and travel on a medium budget. Portugal always impresses but this little guest house IMPRESSES more as Leonor and her husband take better care of their guests than any five star hotel. Kindness and care always win. Thanks Leonor💖
Close to Santa Cruz (20 min walk) and the beaches, clean. Very responsive and nice host who spoke Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Gated parking lot and 1 spot included. Secure entry and exit into the building.
The Hotel staff are very friendly and dedicated to the costumers. Always smiling and welcoming and I recommend the Santa Cruz Hotel to everyone and the rooms are very comfortable, clean with a great view.
The hotel is simply excellent. The stuff is so kind and we loved the salt water pool next to the ocean. It is also only 10 min away by foot to the town which has most amazing local restaurants.
The swimming facilities,the garden and the seaview were perfect.
Breakfast and dinner were excellent and the staff exemplary.
Highly recommended for discerning guests who enjoy small hotels.
The location is great directly in the middle of Santa Cruz, you can actually walk it from the airport in about 40min. Staff was very friendly room was clean and decent for the price
Spacious, modern apartment on the top floor. Comfy couch, small tv.
Great outside balcony with seating.
Beautiful view of the sea, village and airport runway.
Not much noise.
Very spacious and clean with a great view. Modern and comfortable. Centrally located in Santa Cruz but since it’s close to the main highway, it’s easy to go anywhere else.
