We had a lovely relaxing holiday watching birds of prey over the gorge by the pool. The staff are excellent and the food delicious. High up in the mountains so nice and quiet. We hired a car but I think there were buses available near by.

Boutique hotel sounded like a good idea until we had to take an extremely dangerous road to reach the place with very limited parking spots. Our room did not have Air conditioning, not even a fan and the room was very warm. Opening the window connected you with the noisy road right at the window and leaving you completely exposed to anyone climbing in the room through the window. The front desk lady was rude, and did not even offer any accommodations to make our stay bearable and so we had to leave and book another hotel. If you want to go for a very steep adventure, risk not having a parking and sleeping in a room with no ventilation, air conditioning or a fan the this might be your place.

Peaceful characterful hotel
This hotel is uphill from Ponta do Sol and, having arrived from Funchal by bus, we were prepared to walk what looks on the map like a couple of kilometres. However, we decided to take a taxi and were glad we did, as the journey by road is more like 6 or 7 kms. The taxi was 10eu, quite reasonable. At the hotel a very warm welcome from charming manager Feliks, who went out of his way to be helpful at all times. Beautifully situated old manor house in a peaceful rural location, with immense traditional character, well appointed rooms & fabulous views. Amazing value. Good buffet breakfasts in the attached restaurant, though we were disappointed that it was otherwise closed (perhaps out of season?) as we had no car. There are few local facilities apart from a cafe next door with limited menu. Nevertheless we enjoyed our peaceful days by the pool and a couple of pleasant levada walks accessible just up the hill. Our only criticism/suggestion is about the mention on the website of own quinta produce such as orchard fruit and honey, raising expectations of sampling home-produced foods. Sadly, not only was there no such produce apparent at breakfast but, as almost always these days, standard mass-produced fare such as plastic & foil servings of imported butter, jam and honey. What a shame! It would really enhance the customer experience and the reputation of a character rural hotel like this to offer locally sourced ingredients.

Die Unterkunft ist einfach fantastisch. Direkt wenn man auf den Parkplatz fährt sieht man eine tolle Sitzmöglichkeit unter einem Pavillon, die abends schön beleuchtet ist. Hier man eine gute Sicht bis zum Meer. Das Gebäude an sich bietet super viel. Vom Zimmer aus hatten wir einen tollen Blick auf den Pool und der Wintergarten in dem auch das Frühstück serviert wird ist einfach ein Traum! Vor unserem Balkon war ein riesen Avocadobaum und die geernteten Avocados gab es morgens zum Frühstück. Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn jemand eine Unterkunft mit besonderem flair haben möchte.
