The room we had was big and had a fridge. Sounds of the ocean was very soothing at night. Breakfast was basic but understandable when you pay so good price for the acommodation. The owner was very friendly and helpful. A very nice man.

Casa D'Avo Beatriz, hotel in Faial

Situated on a slope overlooking green hills and the Atlantic Ocean, Casa D´Avó is set in a renovated rustic manor. It features an outdoor pool with sun terrace and free Wi-Fi access.

Absolutely everything! No words can describe our experience. Our room (# 15) was a two individual beds on the 2nd floor, with the view over the inner garden, swimming pool and marvelous landscape to the sea (Desertas island can be seen from the top of the main gate - to the left side). The balcony is shared with two other rooms, with hand-made table and chairs of wicker and wood. Drying rack can be provided. Clean and quiet, we were had with blankets and heating system for cooler summer nights. TV is also included (but honestly we only noticed in our last night!) A common salon for breakfast, relaxing and talking with other guests is a nice place to rest your feet after some levadas and veredas. All place is inspired with the sympathy of Mister António, who welcomed us since day 1 and along our journey, suggesting us places to visit and advising whenever the weather changed and risky places were not advised to visit for safety reasons. We would definitely recommend you to stay here. Specially, who's looking for a retreat in a local village, near to the church and a famous pastery with local and delicious local treasures open all week! As Mister António suggest, to reach this spot from the airport, follow the directions Gaula/Porto Novo (route from the coastline and way up the hill) and avoid Gaula/São Pedro (route from the coastline and way down the hill) due to few narrow and steepy streets where only one car cross. Obrigada por tudo Sr. António! Até breve para mais aventuras! :)

Drapes Design Apartments by An Island Apart, hotel in Faial

Situated within 1.1 km of Marina do Funchal and 14 km of Girao Cape, Drapes Design Apartments by An Island Apart features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Funchal.

First floor accommodation next to main road but we didn't hear any road noise. Property was clean and tidy and staff were able to accommodate our request for us to drop our bags early (due to an early flight) and return after property was ready. Good number of utensils / plates / cutlery etc. Property was two separate 1 bed apartments with an interlocking door which was opened as we had both rooms. One apartment had a nespresso machine which was nice. Very nice roof top terrace

    In short, Best stay ever. It's like having your private valley, far away from the mass tourism. Carlos is a great host, has lots of stories to share and is also a great source of places to visit. The breakfast is massive, whith something new every day. If you like to be a bit off the beaten track, you will love this.

    It was not a hotel but a guesthouse with the loveliest hosts a person can ask for. There was a pond. There were ducks. It was a dream.

    Everything about this place was just perfect, from the super-friendly hosts to the beautiful river passing just outside the windows. However, it's worth noting that having a car is essential for staying at this location.

    We loved everything about staying Moinho. Carlos and Leonor are the most wonderful hosts and we fell in love immediately with the incredibly beautiful place they made. In the mornings Carlos makes a wonderful breakfast with whatever you prefer, in the evenings you can enjoy a quiet drink in the bar or outside in the gardens or take advantage of the sauna! We can't wait to return there soon!
