Overlooking the valleys of São Vicente, this restored 18th-century manor house features a garden with a heated swimming pool.

Fantastic location, amazing views ! Birds singing all day ;) The hotel once was a school, now it is full of old time items and stories. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel restaurant serves tasteful and diverse breakfasts. The hotel is placed within valley, providing a great base for trips all around the island. We definitely recommend this place.

    Helena is very kind helpful and welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. The area is beautiful, the house is in the perfect location to explore the north part/north west, and spend time in the capital city. House has huge en-suite rooms and a great size well-equipped kitchen, living room, and terrace with outdoor furniture. We had dinner every day in Sao Vicente (5 min by car) Restaurante Calamar. Excellent food, and we were happy with everything we tried. I am sure will go and stay here next time when we'll visit the island.

    Sao Vicente is a great base for exploring the north of the island without really having a huge amount going for it per se (nothing negative). But Seixal is only a few km away and is my favourite village on the island! Sao Vicente does have a few ok restaurants by the sea but I had better meal experiences elsewhere during my trip. The local caves are closed for the next year or so.

    The village is absolutely beautiful.

    The village is absolutely beautiful. Ideal for walking around. The views are just stunning, especially if you walk on top of the hill where the small chapel is. It's just difficult to get there if you want to use public transport. Buses there are a nightmare. We were lucky enough that our previous host took us there from Funchal. Otherwise we would struggle as nobody whom we asked in Funchal knew where the bus stop was for bus going to Sao Vicente.

    Sao Vicente is a small town on the north side of Madeira,...

    Sao Vicente is a small town on the north side of Madeira, rather less well known than most of the south side of the island. It has an interesting old church, a garden of indigenous trees (for plant enthusiasts), volcanic caves and interpretation centre (for geology enthusiasts) and several good restaurants (for foodies!). From Sao Vicente you can travel along the north coast; westwards to Seixal and Porto Moniz, eastwards to Boaventura, Sao Jorge or Santana. Drive inland to Encumeada, the starting point for several superb hikes, or drive up to the Paul da Serra moorlands. The roads around here are in good condition and easy to drive, there's not much traffic and the local drivers are quite considerate. I've visited this area at various times of the year, for hiking and plant spotting, and there's always something new. Food and drink? No problems! There is everything from simple roadside bars where you can share your coffee break with the locals to top quality restaurants serving authentic Madeiran dishes.

    We saw very little of Sao Vicente on our short trip, since we were mainly occupied either seeing the sights in Funchal or else visiting along the coast to the East and West, rather than actually digging deeper locally. No time for a meal out, even though the hotel dining room was no good in the evenings. We've done a lot of caves before, so did not want to committ to that. So all we did was drive through it about six times without stopping to visit! Next time maybe, as it looks a good, if small, place to see more of.

    The garden is stunningly beautiful and peaceful and the pool is a good size and looks inviting. The property is surrounded by mountains and is alive with bird song. There is a very good restaurant within easy walking distance. Sao Vicente ,a short drive away, is a is a pleasant place to walk around and has good restaurants and shops. Rooms were of a good size and beds were comfortable with sufficient blankets and the hot water bottle was a thoughtful touch. We enjoyed a levada walk nearby and visiting the north coast.

    Beautiful accommodation, newly renovated, beautiful garden with pool, fantastic location overlooking the green hills of Sao Vicente and the ocean. Everything perfectly clean, room comfortable. There is a shared kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and a seating area, so it's nice if you want to prepare a snack for a trip. Different varieties of wine are grown in the garden, which can be tasted for free. Parking place in the shade of grape trees. Staff very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this accommodation.

    Fantastic place! Peace, quiet and those views of the mountains!!! Here you can really experience the beauty of Madeira. The farm is a bit far from the main road and town, but it takes about 10 minutes by car to reach São Vicente. There are some interesting trails nearby, ex. Levada Fajã do Rodrigues. The bungalow is very well equipped with everything you need. Cristina is a super host. Due to a delayed flight I arrived after check-in time, but she was waiting for me to give me the keys and necessary information.

    My wife & I absolutely loved our stay at North Coast Guest House, and only wish we'd stayed longer. The owners are very friendly, and it was really nice to meet & chat w/ other guests over breakfast. The house is very well located as a base to explore Madeira, while also walkable into Sao Vicente town for drinks/dinner in the evening (~10 minutes). We felt right at home from the first moment we arrived, slept comfortably & will definitely stay again (and for much longer) when we return to Madeira.

    We really enjoyed the beautiful, rural location of this hotel, steeps hills and all! It was peaceful and charming overall, and the room was very relaxing with everything done perfectly. The staff were kind and personable, the pool was lovely and I had it all to myself when I went swimming. The bed was very comfortable with good pillow options. The local herb garden was another perfect touch to a charming overall experience.

    The location was outstanding with the ocean right outside the window and next door were plenty of bakeries for breakfast, restaurants for lunch and dinner, bars for relaxing and a supermarket too for everything else. It was also easy to get everywhere in north and western Madeira from Sao Vicente. The apartment was spacious, pleasant, and had all the essentials.

    A Casa Estrelícia-Dourada Garcês was a beautiful place to stay! We had a fantastic few days exploring the north of the Island. Sao Vicente is a lovely small town with so much to offer. Thanks to Elda & Leonel for their warm hospitality, excellent local tips, and the wonderful Madeiran wine - a must try!

    The location is great, next to the sea with great view, 2 minutes drive to Sao Vicente, 50 mins from the airport. The staff is very helpful, you pretty much have everything you need. Kitchen, sofa, board games etc. The wifi is great. The price is definitely competitive on the island.

    I can’t imagine a more perfect place in São Vicente. For the price of a hotel room you can be on a comfortable apartment in the center of the village. There are restaurants and a market in easy walking distance. Filipe is a wonderful and helpful host. Great views from my balcony.
