Beautiful location surrounded by towering mountains. The property itself has a well-kept garden. We were welcomed by Linda who was very friendly and showed us around. Our apartment was quite spacious and as the evenings were a bit chilly we could use the fireplace in the living room.

We stayed at Joana's place for the third time and we are always delighted. Joana willingly helped us solve a small problem with the car rental company, as always, she is very helpful. Joana's place is a pleasure to live in. We always like to come back.

Helena is very kind helpful and welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. The area is beautiful, the house is in the perfect location to explore the north part/north west, and spend time in the capital city.
House has huge en-suite rooms and a great size well-equipped kitchen, living room, and terrace with outdoor furniture.
We had dinner every day in Sao Vicente (5 min by car) Restaurante Calamar. Excellent food, and we were happy with everything we tried.
I am sure will go and stay here next time when we'll visit the island.

Sao Vicente is a great base for exploring the north of the island without really having a huge amount going for it per se (nothing negative). But Seixal is only a few km away and is my favourite village on the island! Sao Vicente does have a few ok restaurants by the sea but I had better meal experiences elsewhere during my trip. The local caves are closed for the next year or so.

The village is absolutely beautiful.
The village is absolutely beautiful. Ideal for walking around. The views are just stunning, especially if you walk on top of the hill where the small chapel is. It's just difficult to get there if you want to use public transport. Buses there are a nightmare. We were lucky enough that our previous host took us there from Funchal. Otherwise we would struggle as nobody whom we asked in Funchal knew where the bus stop was for bus going to Sao Vicente.

Sao Vicente is a small town on the north side of Madeira, rather less well known than most of the south side of the island. It has an interesting old church, a garden of indigenous trees (for plant enthusiasts), volcanic caves and interpretation centre (for geology enthusiasts) and several good restaurants (for foodies!).
From Sao Vicente you can travel along the north coast; westwards to Seixal and Porto Moniz, eastwards to Boaventura, Sao Jorge or Santana. Drive inland to Encumeada, the starting point for several superb hikes, or drive up to the Paul da Serra moorlands.
The roads around here are in good condition and easy to drive, there's not much traffic and the local drivers are quite considerate.
I've visited this area at various times of the year, for hiking and plant spotting, and there's always something new.
Food and drink? No problems! There is everything from simple roadside bars where you can share your coffee break with the locals to top quality restaurants serving authentic Madeiran dishes.

We saw very little of Sao Vicente on our short trip, since we were mainly occupied either seeing the sights in Funchal or else visiting along the coast to the East and West, rather than actually digging deeper locally. No time for a meal out, even though the hotel dining room was no good in the evenings. We've done a lot of caves before, so did not want to committ to that. So all we did was drive through it about six times without stopping to visit! Next time maybe, as it looks a good, if small, place to see more of.
Beautiful accommodation, newly renovated, beautiful garden with pool, fantastic location overlooking the green hills of Sao Vicente and the ocean. Everything perfectly clean, room comfortable. There is a shared kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and a seating area, so it's nice if you want to prepare a snack for a trip. Different varieties of wine are grown in the garden, which can be tasted for free. Parking place in the shade of grape trees. Staff very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this accommodation.
We chose this room because of the very good price. Anyone who wants a five-star hotel should not come here. We wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone else. Frederico and his mother are very, very nice and helpful.
The modest bathroom is cleaned several times a day. A bus stop, two cafes, pub and a restaurant are practically under the window. Ten other restaurants, a pastry shop, pizzeria and market open 7 days a week, and the ocean are a 15-minute walk away. When we return to Madeira, we will definitely stay here.
Fantastic place! Peace, quiet and those views of the mountains!!! Here you can really experience the beauty of Madeira. The farm is a bit far from the main road and town, but it takes about 10 minutes by car to reach São Vicente. There are some interesting trails nearby, ex. Levada Fajã do Rodrigues.
The bungalow is very well equipped with everything you need.
Cristina is a super host. Due to a delayed flight I arrived after check-in time, but she was waiting for me to give me the keys and necessary information.
I was blown away by the tranquility and the surroundings of this establishment.
It is a perfect stay. I would rate it higher than any luxury hotels! Wonderfully and thoughtfully decorated. The room was cozy, the shower had good pressure. The bed was fantastic, so comfortable!
The breakfast was delicious with many options to choose from.
And they also have a beautiful friendly cat Tasha who is always up for company :)
Next time I’m in Madeira, I will stay at this place for the whole time
One perfect place. Definitely not like a hostel, you have privacy by having your own room which is quite big by the way. The rooms are separated by a curtain but for a hostel exceptional conditions. The hostel is located on the main road, a nice walk to Sao Vicente village. There is a big common room, a wonderful kitchen and very good bathroom space. The view from the terrace is fantastic, watching the sunset with the waves rolling in was one of the highlights of my stay.
The location was outstanding with the ocean right outside the window and next door were plenty of bakeries for breakfast, restaurants for lunch and dinner, bars for relaxing and a supermarket too for everything else. It was also easy to get everywhere in north and western Madeira from Sao Vicente. The apartment was spacious, pleasant, and had all the essentials.
a fabulous location overlooking Sao Vicente. The apartment was artistically furnished. Close to all amenities and locations. Leonel the host is a mine full of Information which made life very easy.Very friendly and helpful at all times. This place is very highly recommended. Would love to return in the future. Thanks Leonel
I can’t imagine a more perfect place in São Vicente. For the price of a hotel room you can be on a comfortable apartment in the center of the village. There are restaurants and a market in easy walking distance. Filipe is a wonderful and helpful host. Great views from my balcony.
Good location, easy walk to Sao Vicente and restaurants. Easy to park the car on property. Host checked that all was okay with us and made helpful recommendations about what to see and do. Property was clean and there were plenty of toiletries.
Nice, calm place in Ponta Delgada with beautiful sunset views. Bus station is just a few footsteps away to go to Sao Vicente (Funchal, Porto Moniz) or Arco de Sao Jorge (Santana, ...). Or just start (or end) your hiking directly at the house.
Location was perfect, communication with the house owner was pleasant, nice surrounding (supermarket, nature and gas station), view to the village. Nice fully equipped kitchen (permanently available) and the hall with the fire place.
The gorgeous view and the kindness and generosity of the host. we were warmly welcomed with wine, a bowl of fruit, fresh eggs, and more. Sao Vicente is a beautiful location with so much natural beauty. great hikes nearby!
The guest house is located in the beautiful village of Sao Vincente. The view from the balcony was spectacular, birds singing from the early morning, staff extremely helpful, accommodating and warm. Highly recommended.
Beautiful location, just above the village of Sao Vincente. Your own private terrace with a view. Salt water pool and friendly hosts. Bonus: the home made Madeira wine made by Lionel.
