"Overall, we had a great stay. The food was top-notch and definitely one of the highlights of the hotel. The wine selection was also excellent, with plenty of quality options to choose from. If available, I would definitely recommend doing the all-inclusive package—it offers great value and allows you to fully enjoy everything the hotel has to offer.
The staff was generally friendly and helpful. There were a couple of employees who seemed less enthusiastic, but it appeared to be more of an internal issue and did not significantly affect our stay.
The parking garage is located across the street and is easy to access, although the spaces are quite tight. If you're renting a car, I recommend choosing a smaller vehicle. That said, tight parking is common throughout Madeira.
The hotel is about 40–45 minutes from Funchal, so having a rental car is highly recommended. After exploring the island, I completely agree that renting a car is essential for getting around and seeing everything Madeira has to offer.
The location next to the marina is another big plus, with plenty of restaurant options within walking distance if you want to try something different.
Overall, this is a wonderful hotel with excellent food, a great wine selection, and a convenient base for exploring the island. I would definitely stay here again."
"This is a unique property spread over several acres of vineyards. There are multiple units to choose from & we stayed in the cottage. This was a lovely independent stone cottage overlooking the sea with a loft bedroom, kitchen and living room. It was a very special stay during our time on Madeira & we can’t recommend it enough. We had dinner at their restaurant - which was phenomenal & your stay also includes a wonderful breakfast buffet with lots of choices. There are two lovely pools that overlook the ocean. And at night, the place is so peaceful. We would definitely stay here again as it was so memorable."
"Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Wonderful staff, incredible food, clean and comfortable rooms, beautiful views! Lots of stairs and steep narrow roads so not the best place for people with mobility issues. We loved it and highly recommend!"
"while the weather was beyond anyone’s control, I had such a cozy stay and was perfect for the R&R that I needed. The grounds, the room and the entire property was so delightful though there were other guests. I don’t think I saw even one! It was truly so lovely in the rooms. I think everyone was cozied up by their fires during the rainy evenings. I really loved the grocery store, though the prices are a bit higher than in store, you’re paying for the convenience of all your necessities being right there and I thought that was really nice. Plus your room already comes with plenty of eggs, cheese and bacon for breakfast cereals, granola and yogurt as well as milk and juice so there’s not really much else to grab unless you are going to make a nice dinner. I truly loved all of the kitties, despite I’m allergic, they were adorable, kept to themselves, and we’re awfully cuddly when I was leaving (They are also vaccinated so there’s no worries.) on top of that there are chickens, ducks, and sheep on the property and I hope to come back when the weather is better to enjoy that beautiful pool, the vegetation, and the beautiful views!
thank you again for such a wonderful stay and apologies again for setting off the fire alarm! 😂 i’ve got to get used to using those cast-iron stoves! "

Great place to stay. very clean, well equipped, beautiful upper deck. Host quick to responsed and helpful.
Should be more outfront about lack of parking and the long hike into residence.
Also stated 20 minute walk to beach and store, where it is not at all possible to walk. "
