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.

AustriaThis place is paradise. Beautiful house surrounded with mountains and with amazing view. you can enjoy your morning coffee on your own little balcony or spacious terrace right next to building. For breakfast they serve also fruits from garden- so delicious! At check-out they gave me little souvenir, post card with discount for the next stay and their local tea :) Thank you! Its better if you travel by car, it is 7 min drive to Sao Vicente beach, 25 min drive o South of Madeira.
