This is a gorgeous, high end property. The staff was absolutely superb and treated us with the utmost respect and friendliness in spite of showing up in our hiking clothes. The history of the place is so interesting. We even saw Christina Blandy and her 2 dogs on the property.
Wish we had stayed at least 2 nights.

2nd time we stayed here, first time the weather was great everywhere, this time as the hotel is up in the mountains the weather was worse at the hotel then on other location on the island
It's a great spot if you want to avoid crowded places and are there for the hiking experience
If you want to go to the beaches and city its not recommended

Santo da Serra is a quiet region with a village, perfect for exploring the mountains and nature. There is a garden with a lot of trees, some animals and places to have a picnic or simply relax in the woods. There are also churches and restaurants with very good local food. If you enjoy playing golf, then the Santo da Serra Golf Course is one of the most beautiful I've seen, with its breath-taking scenery. There is also at least one pharmacy and mini-market near the church, along with a children's public playground (with slides, swings, and other toys for small children to enjoy). You are also only a few minutes (by car) away from the Santa Cruz aquapark, the Airport and Porto da Cruz.

A small cozy town among the mountains.
A small cozy town among the mountains. We came here on the way back from Porto Moniz. We felt the local flavor here more than in other tourist cities in Madeira. We liked it here! In the center of the city in front of the church a man bakes a very tasty bread - we advise you to buy this bread!

The village is set in the mountains with plenty of local activity, the Sunday market for local farm produce and the restaurants cater for all tastes from basic food to sophisticated "new cuisine". we most liked the "A Quinta" restaurant which has it's own recipes menu rather than an international menu. The best were the Lamb stew and the Cod with cream.
Everything is in walking distance (no more than 15mins) there is a public garden which attracts a lot of visitors and the "Bola de Caco" (flat bread) made and sold on the street by a local character that boasts about having participated in a TV soap and other events that he is more than happy to explain as he makes the bread.
The 27 hole Golf course is right next door if you like it and there is also a horse riding centre in the village.
The people are friendly and very helpful to the visitors.

Located in an authentic Madeira village, not very touristy but short distance for many starting point for popular hikes and levada walks. Hosts are very friendly, room has a very pleasant design, its large, furnished and decorated with love and taste. Big terrace is a pleasant addition to the room. Small bar downstairs opens at 6, very convenient for having a snack if you are planning to start early in the morning. Plenty of parking space
Extremely clean and cosy rooms
Amazing location (gotta be aware of driving up a steep and long hill to get there), super quiet and beautiful
The BEST breakfast we've had on Madeira!
Pool, parking, super friendly stuff
Room in a ground floor had a seating outside in the green
Superior room we had for the last night was huge, with an amazing view, located aside of all the rush of the rest of the hotel, big bathrooms
The hotel looks nice from the outside. The pool is spacious. The location of the hotel is great if you want to go see places - roughly the same distance to go east, south or north of the island. But you need a car to get there - maybe there is a bus connection, but the location is quite remote and there are only a few options for dining or buying groceries, with a car you can get to a bigger city in 10 minutes.
Joanna provided lots of information regarding transport, attractions we can visit, good restaurants and weather. The netmadeira.com website was very useful in checking the weather all over Madeira.
Breakfast had fresh bread, gem, butter, meat, salam, cheese, milk, and eggs every day.
Lots of animals and birds could be seen at the farm and also in the park nearby. Very quiet location.
very peaceful and well equipped. very rustic and spacious. best bed so far in
Madeira! good shower too. it is also not far from the village where there is a good friendly restaurant that does traditional food and seemed very popular with the locals. there is a very authentic and historic market here which I believe is on a Sunday that looks like it is worth a visit.
Everything was perfect. We just regret we didn't get to stay more days at this awesome hotel. The staff is very friendly. Breakfast and food at the resultant hotel was amazing and the spa (pool and sauna) was very nice to have. The room was very nice and clean. The bathroom was super clean and has a beautiful design. Totally recommend this place.
Romantic hotel with nice history, we travelled with our friends and we spent nice days in this amazing hotel. All was so beautiful, dining room with fireplace, furniture, swimmingpool, perfect room for evening drink and little place with library and computer, of course, too! This hotel has a unforgettable atmosphere... Thanks a lot!
The hotel is situated in beautiful, peaceful and tranquil gardens with excellent views of the surrounding hills, next to a footpath that goes to a levada. Very friendly and helpful staff. A very good buffet style breakfast was provided. It's only 20 minutes walk away from the village and bus stops to Funchal / Machico.
This place is a oasis of peace and silence in the heart of Madeira. Full of flowers and blooming trees. The only sound is the sound of the lovely birds! We had an 2 floored apartment with a fireplace and everything you need for a longer stay. We loved our stay and can recommend it
A nice quaint charming farmhouse and you are really away from the bustling activities. Breakfast is given to you each day according to your needs. The linens and bedsheets are changed every now and then during our one week stay, this is excellent, some hotels don't even do it now.
We did not have a room and it was 12 am and we were stranded in the airport and this was the only hotel that helped us. We traveled around Europe for a month and stayed in 11 cities and this was BY FAR the best stay we had. Amazing service and facilities.
The hotel is very cosy. The garden is beautiful. The staff is very kind and helpful. The restaurant offers really delicious food. Everything was perfect. Just take the "longer" route in the navigation because the hill in the shortest is really crazy.
Very nice hotel up the mountain. It was nice to come back from a long hike and get some relax at the swimming pool and sauna. Very nice and friendly staff
