Superb apartment. Loads of space, nice balcony looking out to sea, spotlessly clean, well furnished, with comfortable sofas. It was very quiet - except for the sound of waves on the beach if the window or balcony door are open! There were only two of us, but it would still feel very spacious with 4. The kitchen has everything you might need, and more, in perfect condition - and the knives are still sharp! Well located, with restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk. The host was very kind in letting us check in early and check out late to fit in with the ferry times.

A great place to relax and wind down away from the hustle and bustle of daily lives. And the food at the supermarket Pingo Doce is really amazing !!! They have lamb , octopus , clams and you name it and the menu changes everyday ! Get a mountain bike to see the island at your own pace as the roads are very bicycle friendly.

The place is very quite and with very nice Long Beach with amazing sea color.
There are bar on the beach making party with deejays.
When you arrive on the island if you haven’t rented any car you might face problem finding taxi.
Today I had the ferry at noon and I discovered that the public transport stop to work at 11. This is crazy and only to assure income to taxis which often are not enough. In any case the place is nice and after you learned a few lessons you want to come back.

Very nice little island, perfect to relax for 4-7 days as beach holiday "pre-course" for a Madeira hiking/action holiday. Not as green as Madeira, but has beautiful beaches & views, also some nice hikes.

Not like Madeira - easy, peaceful, rather flat desert island. You can spend time in the beach, "climb" one of 3 "mountains", walk along hiking trails for nice views, go kayaking, visit sand dunes (unlike any other dunes I've seen). With a car you can visit most of the spots in 2 days, without a car - a week is more than enough.

We were staying in Funchal and it was great to get over to...
We were staying in Funchal and it was great to get over to Porto Santos for a couple of days. We got the ferry over, the ferry only runs once a day - early morning out and late evening back, so plenty of time to explore if you are just going for the day. We went overnight, which was just right for us, and stayed in the very lovely 16 Porto Santos apartments. The beaches were lovely, and not busy at all. We went on the open top bus tour, which was a great way to see the island. Plenty of local restaurants and cafes to chose from. All in all, well recommended for a short break if you are holidaying in Funchal.
These apartments may not be luxurious, but they are suitable for a pleasant stay in Porto Santo. Although they show some signs of age, they are perfectly fine if you are not too fussy. The beach is very good and only a 3-5 minute walk away, and there are also small markets, restaurants, and pastry shops nearby. The only downside is that the wifi signal is quite weak and only works on the balcony and in one room. However, the staff kindly stored our luggage after checkout and we were able to enjoy the swimming pool for a bit longer.
The view was fantastic and the hotel was beautiful! We used the reading nook upstairs, which had a terrific view and was a great place to relax and recharge our electronics. It was a very convenient walk into town and to restaurants. We especially liked the hotel's restaurant and the staff there. We loved breakfast - it was delicious! If we are lucky enough to visit again, we would certainly stay with you. The front desk staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful!
The staff in the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable and had everything that I needed. I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the amenities were great. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Carla takes an amazing care of the guests. We booked the studio very last minute and we could check-in, less than an hour later that day. The location is right in the center with supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The studio is lovely and it has everything you might need during your stay. When we come back to Porto Santo, we will stay definitely at 16 Porto Santo Apartments.
This was a great place to spend the night while in Porto Santo! The location was central to destinations, including shops, restaurants and the beach. The apartment was bright, clean, well appointed and comfortable. The host went out of his way to help with recommendations, and was very accessible. Definitely recommend!
Perfect location, 2min off the town center. The house itself has everything you need, including an outdoor lounge/bbq area, and a table which is perfect for your meals.
Checking in and out was easy, and would definitely stay there again and for longer.
The biggest supermarket of the island is also right next door.
We had an apartment which had a lot of space and was comfortable to stay in. Breakfast had a lot of variety, I just didn't like the coffee they had (which happened in a lot of hotels on Madeira as well). The staff was really friendly as well. Everything seemed quite clean as well.
We had a wonderful stay during our vacation to Porto Santo and already plan to come back. Location is absolutely perfect, and has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Host was super great, very responsive, and gave all the information we needed to enjoy our trip.
Already know quite well Porto Santo and I can say the location is just perfect. 5-10min walk from city center and 1-2min walk from the beach (just on the other side of the road)
Its a small but cosy place and ideal for some days at this lovely island.
Everything: reception, facilities, comfort, location couldn't be better, away from town and hotels. On the beach and a great bike ride to everywhere. Local bus or beautiful walk for those without transport. Even the other guests were great people!
Comfortable stylish place, kitchen and bathroom a bit basic but could stay for weeks. Great to have kitchen because restaurants and bars on Porto Santo are not very good and quite expensive. Close to beach with nice patio to relax on.
It was a perfect stay at this place in peaceful Porto Santo island - spacious, clean, with calm and friendly atmosphere and very nice other guests, great for a real vacation. For sure I recommend it and would love to come back!
it’s an old, very old resort. and time wasn’t very nice with it. you can see it wrinkles everywhere. is not very well maintained and seems like its glory days have passed. for sure is not a 5* hotel.
Hotel very nicely located with direct access to the beach. Although a bit old, it's well maintained. Everything clean and friendly staff. It's quite of a walk till the city center. Good breakfast.
The best place to stay in Porto Santo! Lovely hotel, amazing beach and the atmosphere. I travel very often, but I’ve never met such an amazing and helpful reception staff!
