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.
Granny's is set beautifully in the hills of Sao Vicente. It is easy to get to, and the view is stunning. There is a cafe, a bar, and a supermarket nearby. Getting into Sao Vicente itself takes about ten minutes via car. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, the bathroom looked recently redone, and the kitchen very well stocked with everything we needed to cook. We were happy when there was tupperware for us to use for food while we were hiking!

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.
Nice view, large sliding glass doors both in living- nand bed room leadig to wide terrace.
Full size clean fridge (and freezer above).
Clean, new apartment.
Nice location by the road up to encumeda (also by bus...), but of course, not on the walking distance from village of Sao Vicente. Snack Bars and grocery store, however, in the neighbourhood.
Excellent wifi
The location was outstanding with the ocean right outside the window and next door were plenty of bakeries for breakfast, restaurants for lunch and dinner, bars for relaxing and a supermarket too for everything else. It was also easy to get everywhere in north and western Madeira from Sao Vicente. The apartment was spacious, pleasant, and had all the essentials.
Amazing town-house in Sao Vicente with a great location and amazing view.. the place is fully equipped with everything you need. The decoration is beautiful and gives you a calm vibes. Leonel went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We enjoyed the company of the beautiful Crazy and Michy during our stay.
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.
Nasrin is a very kind, warm-hearted and reliable host, we felt very welcomed. The house is in a quite area (you can hear the ocean) and still you can walk very easily in 10min to Sao Vicente for dinner & drinks. We had the best sleep there during our vacation.
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 gorgeous view and the kindness and generosity of the host. we were warmly welcomed with wine, a bowl of fruit, fresh eggs, and more. Sao Vicente is a beautiful location with so much natural beauty. great hikes nearby!
The view is unbelievably awesome!
You will see the whole city Sao Vicente from the balcony, if the weather is good you can even do breakfast there.
Room was clean and got everything you need.
Good equipped for a hostel.
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.
Nice little place. I couldn't decide if it was a small hotel or a big BnB but it worked. The view was very nice. We could see all the stars at night from our balcony. Breakfast was pretty good.
Great house to stay in Sao Vicente. Everything that we needed was there - ready to use. The house was close to the ocean, hiking trails and to the town centre as well. Perfect area.
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.
The hotel is very cozy, with a clean room and access to the yard from the room. Welcome drink and sweets pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend this hotel
