The view from our room was amazing over the bay, and the corridor only had one other room so no noise late at night from others .Breakfast was good choice shame only one coffee machine working massive queues for a drink and took two more mornings to fix the broken machine . Table tennis table . Always review for mobility/disabled. Although there are lifts to rooms and sloped front entrance the dining area has at least 4 steps down so not wheelchair accessible as far as I could see. Staff helpful
Welcoming bottle Madeira wine and water on arrival with biscuits. Machico is a lovely town close to airport with bus station. We went everywhere by bus

Walk to pool was nice, but beware it's about a 7-10 min walk to the facilities such as panoramic spa and pool/ocean access.

We loved pretty much everything about Sentido Galomar. The location is great! Close to the airport and to Funchal but not so close that it's too busy. The house reef (free entry to the lido for hotel guests) was amazing for snorkeling (so many fish!). Nice walk to the Cristo Rei and Garajau beach and cable car. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was probably one of the best we've had so far. The Galomar part of the resort is adults only, so no screaming kids or kids running around the pool. The room was big, had everything we needed and a nice view of the pool and sea. Pool towels were included. The saunas were beautiful (sea views from inside!) and various spa treatments were available (although we did not make use of them this time). There is also a gym and indoor pool. We'll definitely be back! :)

We loved the hotel’s rural setting, high above Funchal, its old world luxury, and the quality of service offered by the staff. Best of all was the direct access to the extraordinary adjacent Palheiro garden. A very special hotel.

if you like being somewhere rural and out of the way and quiet then it is a good place to stay. there only appeared to be 3 staff on duty at any one time. probably the best massage in the spa i have had. the pool is small but adequate and we never found it busy. if you are expecting a nice view from your bedroom, you won;t get it and the weather is colder than down on the coast!!!!

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. 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
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.
I stayed in the hotel for 10 days. Location was perfect for me. I did a lot of hiking and only went to the beach once. Close to the airport and the ocean, but still pretty high, so it's usually a bit colder, I enjoyed that.
I also did like the small village and the market every sunday.
The room was very comfortable and clean.
Breakfast was amazing!
Everyone was really nice and helpful.
We really enjoyed staying at Villa. We stayed in a group of 4 people. The place has a cozy and a unique atmosphere. One can feel a spirit of history of Madeira. Our host welcomed us with a delicious cake and a glass of genuine wine. We took our time to enjoy a beautiful and peaceful garden with rabbits hopping on the grass and singing birds. This was a truly an unforgettable experience.
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!
We prepared a barbecue dinner with José Manuel's help for our friends that were not staying in our hotel (because the hotel didn't have any more rooms available). José Manuel has been extremely welcoming even for our friends. We have created great memories at the hotel. Will definitely stay again when visiting Madeira.
Everything was great.
Fresh bread, eggs and fruits everyday.
Clean towels and bedsheets every few days.
Fully equipped place.
Lots of space and awesome animals.
We got everything we needed and Joana helped us with all of our requests.
I recommend everyone stay at Quinta do Pântano and exploring Madeira from there.
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.
the place it is just amazing… so beautiful and nice… it was a great experience in the Quinta Santo António da Serra … price point perfect!!! For everyone wants country style spot just recommended 100%
Beautiful hotel, friendly & helpful staff, clean, comfortable beds, amazing food and great pool area.
Nice area, local town has a market on a Sunday that's worth visiting.
