House pc, hotel in Porto da Cruz

Offering garden views, House pc is an accommodation situated in Porto da Cruz, 600 metres from Alagoa Beach and 10 km from Santana's traditional houses.

Excellent location, large property with great views and nice swimming pool. Please disregard the negative comment about toilet roll on the review by 'Birznieksm Austria' as this is common practice throughout Madeira due to the nature of their waste water systems and processing.

Hotel Quinta Do Furao, hotel in Porto da Cruz

Featuring stunning views of the north-east coast of the Island of Madeira and the surrounding mountains, this 4-star hotel offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and a balcony.

Amazing breakfast with a variety of food. Amazing location, since we were looking for a place outside of Funchal but still not far from there with a car. Smily and friendly staff. We were staying there 4 days for our honeymoon and it felt so quiet and peaceful we would have wanted to stay longer if we could. Amazing sea view from the room!

    Beautifully situated little village with everything you need...

    Beautifully situated little village with everything you need for a "slow life" relaxing, stress free stay! We visited almost all costal villages in Madera, and Porto da Cruz is by far our favourite!!!! We love this place and keep coming back here! :) Also, the is the best restaurant ever, A Pipa! Thoroughly recommended!

    A small but very cozy town.

    A small but very cozy town. Has few local supermarkets, few good restaurants and snack bars with a perfect food. Amazing rock views. Also you must visit a Madeira rum factory, that is located in this town and taste it. This town has 2 beaches and 1 local natural pool.

    Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea.

    Unspoilt, charming town with beautiful views of the sea. Excellent restaurants serving fresh, traditional food at very reasonable prices. Great sea water swimming pool and coastline walks. Not easy if you’re using public transport as buses are infrequent.

    Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills...

    Sleepy little fishing village surrounded by sloping hills and sheer cliffs. Magnificent scenery around. Ideal for surfers. Pleasant climate when we visited in April. Flowers all around in full bloom. If you're looking for an active holiday hiking in nature and tranquil evenings, this is the place to come. Having a head for heights is a bonus. Or take gentler trails to get used to sometimes dizzying drops at your own pace. We stayed outside of Porto da Cruz in a little house about 20 mins walk away nestling on a green hill that sloped gently into a valley. Small streams abound taking water down to the sea. Expect birdsong everywhere, especially in the mornings punctuated with cocks crowing from small farmsteads peppered around the slopes. Frogs also joined in with their springtime mating calls trilling the air. Food was simple but from high quality local produce. We'd recommend this area and a visit to Madeira to those needing to get back to nature and a sustainable approach to life. Not too much litter in and around the town. Either local groups clearing up or tourists in general are conscious and careful to respect the natural beauty of the environment by leaving as little trace of their passing as possible.

    The location is just perfect, if I could give more points I would. Right in front of the ocean. Nice and clean room , with amazing view to the ocean. The receptionist informed us that they were fans available upon request but since we were in front of the beach we let the windows open and had great sleep. Our room was cleaned during the second day of our stay too which of course adds more points to the great service. A big variety for breakfast too. We had dinner from the hotel restaurant and everything was delicious!!!

    Big and comfortable house. Big sunny terrace with amazing view. If the house was not a bit cold it would have been perfect. The host was very nice, generous and reactive. We were offered fruits at arrival, then a bottle of wine which was excellent and when we asked for heaters because it was cold, they brought 2 electric heaters. Porto da Cruz is a very nice village and the bus stops nearby the house so it’s easy to go to the village and it’s natural swimming pool if one doesn’t want to go by foot.

    The view from the house is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed watching the sea and the surfers. The house is a 20-minute-walk from the small town Porto da Cruz (where you can find a couple of restaurants and a tiny super market that has the basic things you will need). The showers are great. The woman who checked us in was super friendly as well. Even though we had an unpleasant encounter with her boss, I would still recommend. The owner may be inexperienced with subletting the house?

    The apartment was very comfy, it has everything the family of 2, 3 or 4 may need plus the view! The host Guadalupe was very nice :) The garrage was a real asset once you get use to parking in it. But once you do, you may as well consider yourself a local in Madeira :) We spent a week in Feb 2022 and we loved everything about it. Very private and very Madrean. You cant compare it to a hotel because it feels like home. We can recommend it to anybody. And Porto da Cruz is the best!

    We staid two nights at Jaca Hostel in Porto Da Cruz with my friend and it was a memorable stay :) The village is very special and so is the hostel - relaxed, welcoming and cozy. The staff is nice and helpful, and we had the chance to attend Friday’s pizza night ! Very easy to meet people, everyone is in the mood to talk to others and do some activities or excursions together. 100% recommended !

    The location. We loved coming “home” to Porto da Cruz. Great and friendly people, good local food, and rainbows every day-usually doubles! The space was terrific, beds very comfortable and plenty of hot water. We had planned hikes in the northeast while there and very happy everything was within 20 minutes drive. Luna was a fabulous host, very responsive and made us feel so relaxed.

    We hadn’t stayed in Porto da Cruz before, it’s a quaint little surf town on the coast. The house is older but in a great location for anyone who wants to get around without using a car. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, the beds were really hard so be prepared. Check out Dino’s Bar right under the house, fantastic poncha and a nice location for walking.

    Great location to land in the heart of a beautiful village of Porto Da Cruz. Very friendly and caring host. Roof top was great for dining on with stunning views. Very clean and comfortable. Great air flow through the apartment and Rodrigo had just installed fly screens in every window which we were very grateful for. 2 extra heaters if you need. We loved our stay here.

    We really loved our stay in Porto da Cruz in Guadalupes apartment. The apartment is everything we expected. The kitchen is well equipped, it is clean and lovely decorated. The location is also great. It is close to a small supermarket, the bus stop, and the beach. You can even reach some hikes by foot. I would recommend to hike along the north coast towards canical.

    The house is located at the edge of the village to Porto da Cruz (5 mins downhill walk to village). The village is very cute, with a lovely natural salt water swimming pool maintained by local municipal (1.5€ for the adults), a few reasonable restaurants at the seafront, a bakery, and a supermarket. The house has a lovely garden and beautiful seaview.

    The studio is set up well - everything you need and very organized. Located close to a mini-mercado for conveniences. Just a short 5 minute drive to beautiful Porto Da Cruz and the surf spots. The studio is very clean and comfortable. There were a lot of thoughtful touches like a drying rack for clothes.

    We were extremely happy with everything. A car is useful if you stay here to visit other parts of the island. You can easily walk to Porto da Cruz and the beaches around. Helpful and kind property owner made sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back.
