Our stay was nothing but exceptional - every little detail from the complimentary airport transfer, the amazing breakfast and dinner service, the lovely staff (every single one of them), the clean and spacious room to the fantastic facilities and the list goes on, made our trip to Madeira an unforgettable one. We will be 100% returning.

We had the most wonderful stay. Every member of the team here is truly exceptional at what they do — we were blown away by the warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail. With only 20 rooms, the hotel offers a much more personal and intimate experience, which made our stay feel even more special. The amenities are fantastic — we especially loved the natural pool and the tennis courts. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, including the housekeeping staff, for maintaining such a beautiful and welcoming environment. We truly hope to return one day!

Best hotel ever!!!

This is an amazing hotel. I would give it 12 out of 10 stars. If I could, the staff was beyond amazing they knew about my allergy before I even opened my mouth to say anything. Our servers were excellent. The food was excellent. The breakfast was excellent. The surrounding area is lovely and won’t get airport noise, even though you are a two minute drive from the airport. There is a heated pool and a lovely bar by the pool. The only thing that we have to say that was negative is we wish we could’ve stayed way longer.😃

Very friendly, well run family owned hotel. Spacious rooms and wonderful pools. Don’t be put off by the fact it is under the airport. The noise does not seem to reach the hotel. Short walk into the nearest town which is mainly along the promenade after a short walk next to a motorway. We did this on average once a day.
