"Excellent stay at Turim Santa Maria Hotel.
Staff couldn't do enough and were super helpful and friendly.
Room was modern, clean and had everything I needed. Breakfast buffet was fresh and plenty of it.
Good location just back from the seafront and promenade, and easy walking distance to shops and Old Town.
The staff pointed me towards their secure storage room to jeep my mountain bike safe during the stay and avoid using my room.
A great visit and I must say that I was really comfortable and had a great time.
The rooftop terrace and pool was a fantastic bonus. An amazing feature and a great place to spend time. Pool was chilly - but this is a February visit.
Good hotel, good value and recommended. "
"Great location, really friendly staff, and a fantastic 2 level roof top tereace with stunning views, a pool, gym, and plenty of searing areas to chill and enjoy the Madiera sun"
