Lock in a great price for Solar da Bica – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

What a great stay there. It is an outstanding place, with very nice view from the rooms and extremely friendly staff. You really feel welcomed there. Fresh and tasty breakfast. Various small things on site make the stay even more pleasant (like garden where you can go and try the fresh fruits or rest area where you can make yourself tasty tea/coffee). Very nice swimming pool.

Michal, Poland

Rooms are nicely furnished as well as the common area - you can enjoy the beauty of the old building.

Emiliya, France

Very comfortable room & bed, very clean and with good decoration/presentation, a great interior swimming pool and a lovely breakfast. The staff was very friendly & helpful.

Marta, United Kingdom

Decoration and equipments very matching and pleasant

Manfred, Germany

We had the garden flat, it's a bit strange that the twin beds are in the same room as the dining table, but fine - wonderful views from huge windows, well equipped kitchen, extra towels to use in the pool. And a lovely veggie garden, which we were told we could help ourselves to (had a few passion fruit). The vibe is very nice - an honesty bar in the main house, free tea and coffee at all times, lovely old buildings (except the garden flat, which is new) and two nice terraces to sit on.

Sue, United Kingdom

Awesome place, the best one we stayed in Madeira. The staff was really nice and helpful, the room we took was rather small but all facilities were new, clean and comfortable. The garden is beautiful and we were allowed to pick and eat strawberries that were growing there. The atmosphere is super welcoming and relaxed. Highly recommended!

One of our top picks in São Vicente.Solar da Bica is a cozy and tranquil retreat. This comfortable guest house faces the mountains and has green natural surroundings.

The Solar features accommodations in rooms and an apartment. The rooms all feature a private bathroom, satellite TV and mountain views.

Guests of the apartment are welcome to prepare their meals in the fully-equipped kitchen of the unit. A homemade breakfast, featuring a variety of jams and local delicacies, is served each morning at the property.

A heated swimming pool and a sauna are available for guests to enjoy a relaxing break. A comfortable lounge, with sofas and a fireplace is also a part of the property, where guests can quietly enjoy a book or the scenic mountain surroundings. Among the activities that guests might enjoy are canyoning, climbing, cycling, birdwatching, sky-view and Geocaching, upon request.

The famed São Vicente Caves, one of the most emblematic landmarks in Madeira, are a 5-minute drive away. The tranquil Solar overlooks the S. Vicente Valley and the green mountains of the Laurissilva Forest. It is an ideal starting point to explore the northern coast of the island and enjoy its landscapes.

The only thing that wasn't that good was the location - not because of the hotel itself but because of meals - there weren't that many restaurants around and most of the ones that were there were actually closed. It would be perfect to have the option of having dinner in the hotel.

“Classy place with a relaxed vibe.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • One-Bedroom Apartment
- • Stayed 1 night
They charge 7 euros for the sauna, which buys you an hour's reservation - lucky for us and other guests a couple who had paid for it didn't use the whole hour, and invited us to use it! It's a narrow turning from the village up to the accommodation (and when we were there the village was packed as there was an event on), but it's signposted.
We had the garden flat, it's a bit strange that the twin beds are in the same room as the dining table, but fine - wonderful views from huge windows, well equipped kitchen, extra towels to use in the pool.

Very cozy small hotel. Very quite and amazing views from the room. The stuff is very friendly, it feels like you are at home. Not far from the ocean and easy to get by car, if you don’t afraid steep roads.
