Solar da Bica, hotel in Santana

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.

Amazing place! A true Madeirian treasure of the north! We loved our stay there. The owners and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is exquisite! Most of the things they grow in their own garden. After all day of walking around the island, at the end of the day you feel like coming home.

Casa D'Avo Beatriz, hotel in Santana

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 Santana

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

    I received a friendly welcome, was given an introduction to the accommodation, was able to taste wine, and there was even fresh fruit, bread and cheese in the room on my first day. Besides that you had the opportunity to retreat to your room, but the hosts were always available for an open conversation and gave great recommendations. The room had everything you needed except for a hairdryer. There was a nice balcony and the bed was very comfortable. I had a wonderful vacation.

    The host, Maria was very kind, responsive and helpful, eg with tips for restaurants. The flat was well maintained and equipped - with little details like plenty of coat hangers and toilet paper. Everything worked well and whatever we needed was there. We loved the views from our top-floor flat - very enjoyable to eat breakfast looking out over the town and with the sea in the distance. It was also quiet at night. There was a large supermarket 20 mins walk down the hill -easier with a car, and a few small shops 5 minutes away.

    Very charming and cosy house with a wood stove; the host living in the appartment above kept us well stocked with fire wood. Nice spacious balcony (without direct sunlight). Good access to the eastern walking trails. It has a car port.

    Amazingly spacious house fitted with all amenities. Great view and short walk to the ocean. Quiet village with few tourists (we stayed 24-30 Dec). Small shop and bars/restaurants nearby, bus stop nearby. Amazing hikes to be done from here (we loved Vereda do Arieiro). Ana proved to be a very helpful and responsive host.
