Apparently this has been a tourist destination for many years but the old building has been modernised inside. At least our room, the dining area and the reception area were modern. We didn't use the lift because stairs led directly to our room. The man in charge of the breakfast rates special mention. He was very helpful both at breakfast and helped find other staff when we were leaving. There was a gentle grey cat who supervised the car park. The accommodation was signposted from the town. You drive up into the hills then at the T-junction there was nothing so we asked at the cafe. You turn left at the junction and the right turn for the hotel is shown soon after.
Solar da Bica is a cosy and tranquil retreat. This comfortable guest house faces the mountains and has green natural surroundings. The Solar features accommodation in rooms and an apartment.

We stayed at this property for a week and it was perfect for our needs. We struggled a little bit with finding the place at first, as it is hidden between other houses and google maps takes you to a place from where you cannot see the house. We stopped in the middle of the main road with no house, just a small field and google said you have arrived..from there you need to keep driving up the road for about 1-2 minutes, there will be a local pub on left hand side. Go past that and first turn right, drive about 30 meters and you arrive. There is a little alleyway with walls on the left which you need to take to get to the house. I would recommend obtaining a picture with instructions from host prior your arrival. The house is very spacious and clean, and nicely furnished.
I reckon someone staying for longer would probably appreciate a washing machine which is not there, but as we were staying only 6 days, it was not a problem. We travelled in February, and happened to experience colder weather with more rain. Colder temperatures outside meant that house was a bit cold so we made use of portable heaters provided. I would also recommend anyone staying, bring your own slippers for more comfortable stay. We ended up buying some :) Location was beautiful and price was great considering with the value you get. We would definitely stay again and recommend this place highly.
Thank you! Martin

The house and location is beautiful. Incredible views over the mountains and to the sea. The gardens of the property are wonderful. It felt like a little bit of paradise. The room was really nice and comfortable, the bathroom clean. We organised a surf lesson with the owner which was easy and very fun. Breakfast was good, help yourself with lots of options. We had a great stay here.

This apartment is great if you're looking for a place to rest after a long day of exploring treasures of Madeira. The owner is super friendly, shared terrace and bathroom are cleaned every day, it's peaceful and gives off a "homey" vibe. We enjoyed our stay here. :)

This is a beautiful, small town in the north side you should definitely stay in. It's central to most everything (even though a huge chunk of a convenient road to some trails was closed...) and has its own lovely charm.

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,...
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.
The garden is stunningly beautiful and peaceful and the pool is a good size and looks inviting.
The property is surrounded by mountains and is alive with bird song. There is a very good restaurant within easy walking distance. Sao Vicente ,a short drive away, is a is a pleasant place to walk around and has good restaurants and shops.
Rooms were of a good size and beds were comfortable with sufficient blankets and the hot water bottle was a thoughtful touch. We enjoyed a levada walk nearby and visiting the north coast.
We visited a place in January 2022. The location is super cool (PR16 Levada Fajã do Rodrigues is pretty close). There is such a wonderful view, beautiful mountains, and a very nice garden!
The host is really helpful. For the first 2 nights, we had an uncomfortable mattress(too soft for us), but Cristina replaced it! It was super cool of her, we appreciated it very much! São Vicente is an amazing place and you can easily go to Seixal, Porto Moniz, Fanal Pond… with the car (btw the car is a must-have from my perspective).
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.
Located in a nice quiet part of the island just outside Sao Vicente centre with easy access to everything as we had rented a car. Roberto the owner was fabulous and even gave us some lovely home made cooking on Sunday, and Clarissa, his neighbour was on hand to support us for anything we needed and gave us some fruits grown in her garden (Thankyou) It is a beautiful villa with a lovely pool and gardens and the local restaurant serves fresh fish daily - only a 5min walk away.
We really enjoyed the beautiful, rural location of this hotel, steeps hills and all! It was peaceful and charming overall, and the room was very relaxing with everything done perfectly. The staff were kind and personable, the pool was lovely and I had it all to myself when I went swimming. The bed was very comfortable with good pillow options. The local herb garden was another perfect touch to a charming overall experience.
The little house is perfect for a stay in Sao Vicente. Is has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We highly appreciated that it had a washing machine. We were greeted with a bottle of Madeira wine and home made cookies, very thoughtful. Janine who administrates the property, is a wonderful person, very attentive and communicative. She gave us lots of info on where to eat, drink, trekking spots and so much more.
Clean, big, spacious, beautiful location, well balanced design combining new and old elements, marvelous terrace-5 m away from the ocean, the place is perfect especially if you need peace and relaxation. Good WI-FI connection in the kitchen and on the terrace.
The flat is approx 15 min walking distance to the center, but, as Sao Vicente is a small village, you will need a car to get around.
The house has a great location by the church in the quite part of Sao Vicente. The host was very friendly and helpful, rooms were nicely renovated, everything was clean and corresponded to the pictures 100%. There is a nice local cafe by the nearby supermarket which serves nice breakfast, the location of the house is perfect for making trips around the island (if you have a car).
Everything was really clean and new. Owner is helpful, he gave us many advices about restaurants, places to vistit and he recommended us cheap car rentals. There wasn't any problem even with check in at 03:00AM. Accommodation is beautifully placed next to the wine yard and São Vicente is like green paradise.
We are looking forward of next visit of this place.
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
The location is great, next to the sea with great view, 2 minutes drive to Sao Vicente, 50 mins from the airport.
The staff is very helpful, you pretty much have everything you need. Kitchen, sofa, board games etc.
The wifi is great.
The price is definitely competitive on the island.
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.
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 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.
Cozy home in Sao Vicente valley! Breakfast included and Helena offered to do our laundry. There was a shot of wine as a greeting. The room was cleaned every day!
We had a bath in our bathroom!
breakfast was very nice, the staff amazing, the views even better, we even found a little trail to hike up to the mini church on top of the mountain behind the hotel, great stay
The location in downtown Sao Vicente was amazing! Having our own space with kitchen facilities was very freeing, and the hosts were very responsive and helpful at all times.
