Everything was very good.

Alexandra is the best host. We needed another blanket and another coffee capsule and she bring it to us inmidiately. She put in our room fruit and a bolo do mel for free. It was amazing.

Because of the omnipresent moisture, the wardrobe stinks..

Nice, silent place.

The view from the terrace was phenomenal and Alexandra, the woman who runs the place was really helpful and warm.

Even though the room is renovated, you can still smell the moisture (which is pretty common in Madeira, especially in the north, but still - it is something that makes the stay less comfortable). Kitchen annex very small - difficult to cook a dinner. The parking is pretty small and if there are more guests in the house, it gets difficult to park (and the road is steep so no other options).

Comfy room with kitchen annex, nice comfy bed. The rooms looks a bit like in a hotel (which is a plus). Great view from the balcony - birds will wake you up. Very nice hosts. There were radiators, so we didn't get cold luckily, even though the weather wasn't great. Nice shared living rooms with large armchairs - and the view!

The room is clean and friendly, the kitchenette has everything you need. The best part is definitely the balcony with its amazing view!! The owners are extremely nice and welcoming.

Not sure WiFi was available for guests, used my data plan instead. 4g signal was good enough to watch IPTV. Pico Areeiro - Pico Ruivo trail closed at time of my stay 😢 Less touristy places are a bit of a jungle and a lot of tourist paths in map just don't exist or are hidden below always growing vegetation 😁

Spent an enjoyable Christmas time here. Owner is very nice and was even willing to support me with logistics as I didn't come by car. That had great value in this rocky island where you can't just "go shopping" without losing pound of your weight 😂 Pico Ruivo reachable walking for serious hikers (12km far, 1500m climb), I prefered to take 5km of the hike on quite nice tarmac road as the island nature may be tricky...

booking.com have said it's 975ft from bar, restaurant and supermarket but it isn't, just so others know when booking. certainly didn't spoil our stay at all :)

We loved the quiet and tranquility and Jeff and Alex made us feel very welcome. So lovely of them to offer us wine and avocados on the house and lots of recommendations of where to go, restaurants etc. Made it bit more special. We really hope their business goes really well. Best wishes Karen and Andrew

Owners were very enthusiastic about the region and were eager to provide us tips for activities/sightings in the area. The happy presence of dog Molly was a bonus!

Wifi did not reach the room.

What a lovely place to spend a couple of nights. Nestled up in the mountains it is serene. The hosts were amazing and very kind. They would greet us every time we came back and never shied away from providing recommendations on hikes, or food. The rooms come with a mini kitchen and fridge. The hosts also offered some fruit, bread, and coffee/tea. We also got to experience the wine cellar, what a treat. Overall highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a more remote experience away from the town/coast, and to enjoy the mountain landscape.

It was located a bit off. It was in a small city, but the city was nice and had a little to do there. But I would not recommend this if you do not have a car.

We had our one kitchen and it was like a small apartment with a very nice view. It was a big bed. The persons who lived there were very very nice they had tips what we could do and helped us.

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.

We had an exceptional stay at Refugio das Camelias. The warm welcome from Jeffrey set the tone for our visit, as he not only greeted us with a drink in their unique wine cellar but also shared stories and valuable recommendations about the island. Our room was lovely and spacious with a well-equipped kitchen including fresh bread and fruit, a charming balcony with a stunning view and a very large bed. The reading room, with two cozy chairs overlooking the breathtaking view, provided the perfect spot read our books as we enjoyed the sunset. Our three-day stay was incredibly comfortable, and the kindness of offering us a lift to our next destination was too kind.

My stay at Refugio das Camelias exceeded my expectations. The hosts were wonderful, very kind and helpful. Upon arrival, I received fresh fruit, some basic groceries, and a wonderful treat in the form of exquisite homemade wine! The room was very clean and comfortable, featuring a large bed, a private bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchenette. The room also had a balcony with a beautiful view of the mountains. Finding the property was easy despite the narrow and steep roads; from the roundabout in Fainal, there are signs indicating the remaining distance to the property. In my opinion, this is an ideal place to stay. Not only is the area beautiful, but it's also close to most of the island's stunning spots. Without a doubt, my next stay in Madeira will also be with you! Highly recommended.

We were warmly welcomed by our hosts and greatly appreciated their kindness through our stay. Whenever we needed something they helped us! The place is nested in the mountains and the views are beautiful ! Weather was bad for us but we can imagine how nice it feels on sunny days !

Nothing :)

This family owned B&B is in a beautiful location, with stunning views. The studios are very private, and have balconies overlooking the mountains. The communal areas of the property include a ‘glass room’ and a cosy living room with fire. Both are gorgeous. The property layout gives a great opportunity to choose whether to keep yourself to yourself, or to mingle with others. The family are exceptionally helpful and friendly. Id recommend this place to anyone.
