Set on the hillside, stunning views over Funchal. Lovely tranquil atmosphere friendly and efficient staff. Plenty of facilities, 1 indoor and 2 outdoor pools hot tub, spa and gym. Well maintained. This place is adults only. Our double room was spacious and clean, the bathroom could do with a refurb, but nothing to complain about as the new owners (Barcelo Group) are planning upgrades for 2026.

Very nice location and a very good view from the restaurant. Very kind staff and good service. I got a present from the hotel on my birthday. I didn't expect that, but it was very appreciated. Madeira is a very beautiful island. We will come back and stay longer. Of course this hotel will be the first choice for us.
Wonderful adults only boutique hotel with views of the ocean as well as the mountains. Fantastic breakfast buffet with many delicious and healthy options. Staff accommodated our early morning hikes by opening for breakfast an hour early and preparing a great spread. Spa services are top notch, too. We can’t wait to be back.
I just returned from a week staying here with a friend. We loved it. The first thing that springs to mind is the lovely staff; every single member we encountered was friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The second thing is the location and the amazing views 😍, these would be very hard to beat especially as you get lovely views from the rooms, the dining terrace, the pools and the gym! The hotel is far enough out of town that it is quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk (or economical for buses/bolt etc if you wanted) The hotel still retains some of its historical grandness and the gardens definitely add to this. Everywhere is immaculately clean, and we really liked the fact that the pools and gym were accessible from early morning until well into the evening. Our room and bathroom were really spacious, air conditioned with a huge TV (we didnt use), a small fridge, tea and coffee, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, yoga mat/block, spa towels ( in addition to normal towels), an easy to use safe and a wonderful garden terrace. The decor was a little dated but everything was pristine and the beds and bedding were supremely comfortable. Finally the food and drink. What can I say. I am missing those amazing breakfasts (I can't imagine anybody not being satisfied with what was on offer) and the view and cheerful staff. We had dinner twice in the restaurant and snacks and drinks in the bar twice too. Both menus offered a good selection of dishes, especially considering this is low season, and the food when it came was divine. ( The Lime ice cream was something else 🤤) We had wine by the glass and it was good quality , Coral beer which is the local very nice pilsner, we also had fresh Poncha from the bar, which was delicious 😁 I definitely recommend this hotel and we intend to return.
We stayed for 5 nights. Contrary to the negative reviews, it seems the hotel has new management or staff, who are genuinely friendly and make every effort to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. The location of the hotel is excellent, the breakfast is good but could be more comprehensive, the rooms are clean, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The restaurant is really great, especially considering the price. We also booked some tours through the hotel, which were truly excellent, and we rented a car through a company recommended by the hotel, which was hassle-free and convenient.
