The view is amazing. Nice to walk the garden, swim in the pool, and relax in the common area downstairs. The breakfast (9 euros) is really good with various homemade items from the garden. The staff was very nice.

I had some issues getting basic information about the town at the reception. Though very lovely, the young girl seemed to be somewhat confused by my quieres and instead of admitting she didn’t have all the information and checking in with someone else I Got some misleading information about the location of the main bus stop and walks around the town. I Managed to solve this by speaking to people downtown but lost some time and effort on replanning my day. Something relatively easy to fix. Otherwise the stay was perfect!
Loved the view, the location, the garden. Breakfast was delicious, great variety. Bed was comfy. Sao Vicente was one of my favourite places in Madeira and the view from Solar da Bica make it in my opinion the best place to stay in town

This site exceeded all preliminary guesses! Personnel were immediately helping us with bags, and everything was smooth and clean. Even as a finnis citizen, we found a sauna by the pool very amusiing. The hotel is located near a nice volcänic tourist site, and the city is reallly quiet, some roosters were giving their noises but that was just fun.
