We hadn’t stayed in Porto da Cruz before, it’s a quaint little surf town on the coast. The house is older but in a great location for anyone who wants to get around without using a car. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, the beds were really hard so be prepared. Check out Dino’s Bar right under the house, fantastic poncha and a nice location for walking.

Beautifully situated little village with everything you need for a "slow life" relaxing, stress free stay! We visited almost all costal villages in Madera, and Porto da Cruz is by far our favourite!!!! We love this place and keep coming back here! :) Also, the is the best restaurant ever, A Pipa! Thoroughly recommended!

A small but very cozy town.
A small but very cozy town. Has few local supermarkets, few good restaurants and snack bars with a perfect food. Amazing rock views. Also you must visit a Madeira rum factory, that is located in this town and taste it. This town has 2 beaches and 1 local natural pool.

Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea.
Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea. Excellent restaurants serving fresh, traditional food at very reasonable prices.
Great sea water swimming pool and coastline walks.
Not easy if you’re using public transport as buses are infrequent.

Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills...
Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills and sheer cliffs. Magnificent scenery around. Ideal for surfers. Pleasant climate when we visited in April. Flowers all around in full bloom. If you're looking for an active holiday hiking in nature and tranquil evenings, this is the place to come. Having a head for heights is a bonus. Or take gentler trails to get used to sometimes dizzying drops at your own pace. We stayed outside of Porto da Cruz in a little house about 20 mins walk away nestling on a green hill that sloped gently into a valley. Small streams abound taking water down to the sea. Expect birdsong everywhere, especially in the mornings punctuated with cocks crowing from small farmsteads peppered around the slopes. Frogs also joined in with their springtime mating calls trilling the air. Food was simple but from high quality local produce. We'd recommend this area and a visit to Madeira to those needing to get back to nature and a sustainable approach to life. Not too much litter in and around the town. Either local groups clearing up or tourists in general are conscious and careful to respect the natural beauty of the environment by leaving as little trace of their passing as possible.

It's a small town, beach not usable, outdoor pool in bad conditions, room not clean (shower and floor ) two places for hiking: one is dangerous, one is steap and boring, no view
Everything is damp, not much sun
Large house with everything you may possibly need during your stay. Big balcony in the back with a beautiful view and a fireplace, great for eating outside. Parking place in front of the house. The owner was very nice to us, gave us fruit and vegetables from his own garden and even his own wine, which were all delicious. We were very satisfied, definitely recommend it. Porto da Cruz is also very nice place to stay overall, it's not crowded but has beaches and seawater pools, restaurants, shops, a distillery, and so on in the center.
The view from the house is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed watching the sea and the surfers. The house is a 20-minute-walk from the small town Porto da Cruz (where you can find a couple of restaurants and a tiny super market that has the basic things you will need). The showers are great. The woman who checked us in was super friendly as well. Even though we had an unpleasant encounter with her boss, I would still recommend. The owner may be inexperienced with subletting the house?
The location is excellent, Porto da Cruz is a lovely village , the room facing the sea , quiet at night , hot shower , good wifi , breakfast is very basic but all I need for a start( eggs, yogurt, bread, coffee, fruits, cheese) ! Also they provide beach towels… I appreciate when my mobile phone got wet and they gave me a bowl of rice, I left overnight on the rice and my phone worked after that ! :)
Parking is on the street but it’s a safe village!
Cute small hotel with an amazing view. Most of the rooms have balcony and Seaview. It's very close to the sea, one can hear the sound the waves. Staff was friendly. Room was fair, not too modern but clean. Restaurant was at ground floor. Breakfast and dinner were good. Staff was friendly. There are surf schools nearby and some nice walks. The view is really one of the nicest we had in maderia.
We staid two nights at Jaca Hostel in Porto Da Cruz with my friend and it was a memorable stay :) The village is very special and so is the hostel - relaxed, welcoming and cozy. The staff is nice and helpful, and we had the chance to attend Friday’s pizza night ! Very easy to meet people, everyone is in the mood to talk to others and do some activities or excursions together. 100% recommended !
The location. We loved coming “home” to Porto da Cruz. Great and friendly people, good local food, and rainbows every day-usually doubles!
The space was terrific, beds very comfortable and plenty of hot water. We had planned hikes in the northeast while there and very happy everything was within 20 minutes drive. Luna was a fabulous host, very responsive and made us feel so relaxed.
Such a spacious place, we had lovely breakfasts on the huge terrace, it is perfectly situated in Porto da Cruz and the perfect location to discover the north of the island 💝 Ricardo was a great host and we will for sure recommend this place.
The beds were super comfortable and the accommodation made us feel at home.
Great restaurants, a super market and a playground a very close

The house is located at the edge of the village to Porto da Cruz (5 mins downhill walk to village). The village is very cute, with a lovely natural salt water swimming pool maintained by local municipal (1.5€ for the adults), a few reasonable restaurants at the seafront, a bakery, and a supermarket. The house has a lovely garden and beautiful seaview.
The studio is set up well - everything you need and very organized. Located close to a mini-mercado for conveniences. Just a short 5 minute drive to beautiful Porto Da Cruz and the surf spots. The studio is very clean and comfortable. There were a lot of thoughtful touches like a drying rack for clothes.
I did not stay in the guest house because there was a confusion with the booking, but in the main hotel Vila Bela!
The room was nice with a little balcony and went right out onto the sea. I could hear the sea all night which I loved! The staff is friendly and the food was good. Breakfast was nice.
We were extremely happy with everything. A car is useful if you stay here to visit other parts of the island. You can easily walk to Porto da Cruz and the beaches around. Helpful and kind property owner made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back.
Tiny little house with a hidden sunny terrace in the centre of a beautiful village Porto da Cruz. It's close to the beach , shops, restaurants and surf spots. Our family loves Guadalupe's apartments. She is a great host! Bonus is a grill and hammock.
No breakfast. Very convenient to Porto da Cruz shore, restaurants and walking paths. The owners were very quick to respond to our needs and any issues with the lodging. Secure parking for our rental car.
very nice hotel near the beach, breakfast was great, there is a common living room in the hotel where you can spend your evening with a nice view of the ocean, staff was very nice 😀
The hotel had beach access, and it was beautiful. It was easy to drive around the island with a launch point of Porto da Cruz. The breakfast was delicious, and the room was quiet.
