"Excellent choice for breakfast. The setting and location is wonderful - sitting round the pool, looking towards the sea. Right next to the cute small town with some lovely restaurants. Hotel of a good standard with equally nice comfy rooms. Would have given a 5 out of 5 apart from on occasion, not enough staff on at the bar pool area in the day sometimes and some of the sunbeds are past their best. Would definitely stay here again."

Baía Madeira Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good value for money, and friendly, helpful staff. Exceeded expectations."

House / Villa - Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"« Un séjour inoubliable à Madère (à 6 dont quatre enfants justes majeurs!) ! Un immense merci à Anna pour son accueil exceptionnel, sa gentillesse et toute la bienveillance dont elle a fait preuve tout au long de notre séjour. Sa présence attentive et ses petites attentions chaleureuses nous ont fait nous sentir immédiatement comme à la maison. Le logement était parfait, très propre et idéalement situé pour découvrir cette île magnifique. Anna a su rendre notre expérience encore plus belle. Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse à tous les voyageurs et nous y reviendrons avec un immense plaisir ! »"

Charming Retreat Machico - 5 min Praia & Centro A

8/10 Good

"Hébergement très bien placé pour la plage et le centre de Machico. Il est en effet à côté d un rond point mais pas trop dérangeant malgré nos crainte. Nous n avons pas eu trop chaud, même sans mettre la Clim. Sympathique pour 3 jours surtout en période de festival gastronomique à Machico !"

Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Albatroz! This holiday experience was all that we were looking for - excellent food with exceptional service, a warm welcoming atmosphere from the front desk to the restaurant and housekeeping staff, and unparalleled attentiveness from all staff. This hotel has ‘old-world’ charm and is set in a location with amazing views, ocean pools, and beautiful gardens. This is a hidden gem - your stress level will decrease from the first moment you step onto the hotel grounds. As a bonus, it was close to the airport so we could enjoy the views of incoming and outgoing flights with little noise. We started planning our return trip while we were there and look forward to returning to the Albatroz soon!"

Residencial Família

10/10 Excellent

"So good ! Thank you"

Villas Madalena

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good — clean and well equipped. Bed linen, towels, kitchenware and appliances were all provided, and the parking was great too. The view was amazing, and of course the special Madeira touch — watching the planes take off and land, visible even from the room. Overall, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!"
