Friendly & helpful staff. We had to stay an extra night due to a ferry cancellation & this was no problem. Excellent breakfast.

Jonathan United Kingdom

Room was clean and comfortable. Shower was great. Very nice breakfast included with a good variety. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Good central location around the corner from the Madalena town square. Walking distance to several restaurants and the harbour.

Barbara Canada

Great location! Comfortable room overall, great AC, good and clean bathroom. Very good breakfast. We arrived in the morning and they had rooms ready so they let us check in earlier and it really made our day after the long trip we have had.

Nadav Israel

Location - in the city center, close to the harbour. Very good tasty breakfast. We had a nice surprise in the afternoon - received a basket with fruits - thanks! Room - clean & a small balcony - we had Pico view :) Professional friendly staff - good support with booking a taxi for us in the morning to the airport.
