Stayed only one night – would have loved to stay longer.

Beautiful location in the mountains, fresh air and peaceful surroundings. Spacious room with a garden view. Friendly and helpful staff. Organic food from the hotel’s own garden – very fresh and tasty. Great spa area: pool, sauna, jacuzzi

Nothing at all.

Comfortable room and bed. Great breakfast buffet. There was a fresh fruit basket in our room and every day the staff refilled it.

We stayed for 23 days in this hotel. The room was spacious and the beds were excellent. The breakfast is good with many options. The food in the bar and restaurant is also very good. Knowing that the food is organic makes it very special. The location is great and quiet and the very large garden is a big bonus. The swimming pool is large and with good temperature . The staff does everything to make you feel good especially Francisco from the restaurant and Johanna from housekeeping. Also the ladies from the reception are very kind and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

The furniture was a bit old.

Very large room, with balcony. Excellent buffet breakfast, instead the service was a bit slow. Nice swimming pool.

The peace and quiet plus the bio concept

The gym could do with a water fountain. The location was a bit tricky to get to once left the VR roads (main roads) and the new tunnels. Some of the local streets are very steep and narrow, a good car and confined driving ability a must. Once you get to know the location it’s not a problem.

Beautiful site and tranquil nature surrounding. Located high up in the mountains so it’s cooler here. Large indoor pool. Friendly staff. Half board included 4 course gourmet meals most evenings, buffet meals on some. Quality of food was excellent, organic and local. Gluten and dairy intolerance were accommodated by the chef with specifically tailored menu. Fresh fruit in the rooms was a nice touch. Free shuttle service provided to Funchal day trips. Not really for young children but teens were suitable entertained here.

Incredible grounds, well kept, almost like a small botanical garden. Lovely staff, good food

Maybe the water pressure in the bath/shower could be a bit stronger but this is not a dislike. Just an observation

Location, solitude, comfort and THE GARDEN!!! Absolutely impressive! Very nice breakfast Spacious

Absolutely nothing !

We loved the elegance and grace of this older-style hotel, located on a large estate with beautifully manicured gardens high up in the mountains. Our room with balcony was spacious and modern, the bathroom was high-end with bidet, marble counters and floors. The bed was the most comfortable of all the accommodation we had experienced in Madeira. There was a wonderful indoor pool and sauna which contributed to our enjoyment. The breakfast was superb, with many interesting options and copious quantities. We loved our stay here, it was a wonderfully tranquil retreat.

The room smelled musty.

Beautiful old house. With 60's hotel annex. A wonderful garden around the house. Up in the mountains. Super breakfast buffet.

The cuisine leaves much to be desired - for all the diversity of blue breakfasts, they are the same and quickly get boring

Amazing nature, stunning flowers, a court, a pool and billiards are pleasant activities

Had to go to the dining room to get a bar tender and the game room could have been a bit warmer

Extremely comfortable hotel with an excellent restaurant and a cozy bar. Also posted information on the various hiking trails.

Sauna is great

Great breakfast and beautiful location!

Not that I didn't like, it is something that can be improved. The jacuzzi was not working properly and I felt the springs of the mattress. Minor details that overall did not impact the stay.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Hotel is very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast is amazing! Spa facilities are very good. Usually the guests are older and respectful. Well worth the stay.

Swiming pool, room and breakfast.

The restaurante staff was very disinterested.

This is a place to relax and connect with nature. Isolated from the main areas of the island, it has a huge beautiful garden and you can walk straight from the hotel into nature. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast very good.

The garden was very beautiful. Staff was very friendly, breakfast was great

Outstanding breakfeast och pool area. The dinner restaurant was also excelent. Ther was a cosy fire place in the evening and they made their own cider:) This is a place to relax after a long day in the mountains or out on sightseeing.

Stylish, very superior

Amazing spot, on top of a hill, beautiful property.

Stayed in January 2024

Not enough tea, coffee and milk to the room. I would expect this to be inclusive each day. The restaurant coffee wasn’t so good. Not enough info in the rooms e.g menus.

Very quiet, in woodland with own extensive gardens. Impeccably clean, balcony overlooking trees, pool, sauna, amazing fresh breakfast in beautiful restaurant.

This is a personal thing, but the beds were quite hard compared to what I used to/prefer

Location and premises

Stayed in October 2023

The level of service is very dependent on the particular person, varying from great to poor. For the half-board guest, the dinner is served as a fixed four-course menu, but the food is rather medium at best, sometimes even simply bad, something I wouldn´t expect at a hotel of this level.

The hotel has a huge and beautiful garden, pool, sauna, saloons and bars, everything is really comfortable and nice. The place is very calm and friendly. Great place to stay for someone who wants to stay aside from the main tourist centers with the hassle and noise.
