    Great location - the town itself offers multiple lunch and dinner options, all of which are delicious. The town is also close to Funchal and easy to get to / from all the major touristy spots. They even had a gluten free pata de nata available at breakfast, just ask the staff :)

    Pestana Fisherman's Village was a wonderful place to stay on Madeira. The location was great. Easy access to explore other areas of the Island. Numerous, excellent restaurants, literally steps out the front door. The continental breakfast was delicious with lots of options. Staff was attentive and helpful.

    A few drawers for clothing would be good otherwise wonderful.

    Lovely, individual and slightly quirky. Small and not at all touristy, wonderful breakfast that you could eat in or outside, delightful roof top pool and superb location. Probably one of the best villages to stay at on the island with loads of good restaurants within 50 yards of the hotel.

    No complaints.

    Beautiful hotel, in the heart of Camara de Lobos. There were so many lovely restaurants right on our doorstep. You are also a stones throw from the sea which was amazing. The staff at the hotel are excellent, so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed a couple of chilled evenings at the hotel as its such a lovely building, with a great pool table.

    There are no minuses, except that the hotel does not have its own parking. But there is a city parking nearby, which can be used for 4.5€ per day.

    A very cozy hotel, with many small cozy spaces for relaxation. We lived in a room in the hotel tower. It's a great feeling to see views to all four sides of the city.

    Super nice staff, great service, great breakfast (even got a take away when we left early to watch sunrise) great location with super nice restaurants around (can recommend the one directly on the opposite side of the hotel entrance)

    The room we had overlooked a back lane so we couldn't use the balcony or open the curtains. It was also quite noisy due to the street.

    Location was spectacular. The little village has everything you need and fantastic restaurants all set on the most beautiful location. The hotel is a gem. Beautiful pockets of outside space inside for resting and relaxing. Superb. Breakfast is perfect.

    There is no hotel parking available, so you have to use publicly available parking spot. It's quite close to the hotel, But: there are some locals (who look homeless) which are trying to help you by providing guidance to park, and then will ask you for money. If you don't pay, they might scratch your car. So beware! It's a public parking spot, so you pay either via app or parking machine, not to locals! My suggestion, same as the hotel would give you, is to park inside the parking house in the end of the street. (you can pay there with cash, which will be much cheaper than via the hotel reception).

    Hotel was amazing. We booked it for couple days, and the location was great, staff was very friendly, polite and professional, and also the rooms were very nice, quiet and cozy. Breakfast was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Also, grocery shop is located nearby, so you can buy some food and other important things there.

    Lack of any drawers in the room to fully unpack.

    The Fisherman Village is a gem. Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The location is ideal as a base for touring without the hassle of much busier Funchal. Although the hotel is run on a B&B basis, you feel as if you have a choice of different restaurants every night, as there must be 20 different hostelries within meters of the front door. The breakfast was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful. We rented a care through the hotel for a few days and it was delivered to us at reception with parking just a minute away in the municipal car park.

    the area was a little bit difficult and was a little bit out of the way but there were regular buses and easy access to taxi or other transportation. due to the location being in a fisherman village, pretty much all restaurants only sold fish which was a little disappointing, so we had to travel a bit to eat elsewhere.

    staff were very welcoming and lovely, the room was really nice and cleaned everyday.

    N/A - perhaps the smell of burned old cooking oil from the restaurants outside, felt in the street until the hotel entry. I also prefer carpet in rooms (and not parquet) - but this is personal taste

    Design, decorations, staff, breakfast. A special plus to the breakfast inner yard - very nice. Nice little village - Câmara de Lobos. Special excellent mention about restaurant Churchill’s place overlooking the bay area.

    The only little complaint I have was the bathroom door, a bit of a cheap sliding door, not sliding very well. Some more storage space would also be appreciated.

    Breakfast was delicious! Good variety, abundant, very good quality. Staff was super nice and helpful. We were treated for our long stay and my birthday with wine and pasteis de nata! The pool has also a nice view on the bay. The room was a bit small but very comfortable.
