    Super accommodating hosts. When my friend could not sleep without AC, they brought us extra fans and set us up for a few nights in a cottage location elsewhere. Place was spotlessly clean, cleaned daily, soundproof windows, excellent buffet...

Designed to meet the needs of independent travelers seeking comfort, centrality, and convenience, our studios offer express check-in and check-out, high-speed WiFi, well-equipped kitchenettes for home-cooking, and nearby convenience services, including supermarkets, restaurants, bus stations, the aerobus, and the harbor. Guests can also indulge in yoga sessions and enjoy drinks on the terrace, savor Madeiran wines from our cellar, and soon, delight in brunch at our stylish, upcoming restaurant. For those looking to explore more of the island, guests can complement their stay with a visit to our countryside property, Madeira Sunset Cottage, an exclusive retreat in Ponta do Pargo.
Established in 1987 by current owner José Mendonça, ASPA - Apartamentos São Paulo Alegria was founded with the mission of providing an alternative accommodation where guests could genuinely feel at home. At ASPA, the atmosphere is relaxed, communication is informal, and our team is warm and always available.
