This is a gorgeous, high end property. The staff was absolutely superb and treated us with the utmost respect and friendliness in spite of showing up in our hiking clothes. The history of the place is so interesting. We even saw Christina Blandy and her 2 dogs on the property.
Wish we had stayed at least 2 nights.

2nd time we stayed here, first time the weather was great everywhere, this time as the hotel is up in the mountains the weather was worse at the hotel then on other location on the island
It's a great spot if you want to avoid crowded places and are there for the hiking experience
If you want to go to the beaches and city its not recommended

Santo da Serra is a quiet region with a village, perfect for exploring the mountains and nature. There is a garden with a lot of trees, some animals and places to have a picnic or simply relax in the woods. There are also churches and restaurants with very good local food. If you enjoy playing golf, then the Santo da Serra Golf Course is one of the most beautiful I've seen, with its breath-taking scenery. There is also at least one pharmacy and mini-market near the church, along with a children's public playground (with slides, swings, and other toys for small children to enjoy). You are also only a few minutes (by car) away from the Santa Cruz aquapark, the Airport and Porto da Cruz.

A small cozy town among the mountains.
A small cozy town among the mountains. We came here on the way back from Porto Moniz. We felt the local flavor here more than in other tourist cities in Madeira. We liked it here! In the center of the city in front of the church a man bakes a very tasty bread - we advise you to buy this bread!

The village is set in the mountains with plenty of local activity, the Sunday market for local farm produce and the restaurants cater for all tastes from basic food to sophisticated "new cuisine". we most liked the "A Quinta" restaurant which has it's own recipes menu rather than an international menu. The best were the Lamb stew and the Cod with cream.
Everything is in walking distance (no more than 15mins) there is a public garden which attracts a lot of visitors and the "Bola de Caco" (flat bread) made and sold on the street by a local character that boasts about having participated in a TV soap and other events that he is more than happy to explain as he makes the bread.
The 27 hole Golf course is right next door if you like it and there is also a horse riding centre in the village.
The people are friendly and very helpful to the visitors.

Located in an authentic Madeira village, not very touristy but short distance for many starting point for popular hikes and levada walks. Hosts are very friendly, room has a very pleasant design, its large, furnished and decorated with love and taste. Big terrace is a pleasant addition to the room. Small bar downstairs opens at 6, very convenient for having a snack if you are planning to start early in the morning. Plenty of parking space
The hotel looks nice from the outside. The pool is spacious. The location of the hotel is great if you want to go see places - roughly the same distance to go east, south or north of the island. But you need a car to get there - maybe there is a bus connection, but the location is quite remote and there are only a few options for dining or buying groceries, with a car you can get to a bigger city in 10 minutes.
I stayed in the hotel for 10 days. Location was perfect for me. I did a lot of hiking and only went to the beach once. Close to the airport and the ocean, but still pretty high, so it's usually a bit colder, I enjoyed that.
I also did like the small village and the market every sunday.
The room was very comfortable and clean.
Breakfast was amazing!
Everyone was really nice and helpful.
It was our last night in Madeira and we were surprised to be so close to the airport and to Funchal but the tranquility and the temperature seems like we were on another place.
Staff was very friendly and helpful providing us info related to nearby restaurants for dinner and breakfast.
Also the closest park to the property is so beautiful and a nice, quiet place to relax.
Everything was perfect. We just regret we didn't get to stay more days at this awesome hotel. The staff is very friendly. Breakfast and food at the resultant hotel was amazing and the spa (pool and sauna) was very nice to have. The room was very nice and clean. The bathroom was super clean and has a beautiful design. Totally recommend this place.
The hotel is situated in beautiful, peaceful and tranquil gardens with excellent views of the surrounding hills, next to a footpath that goes to a levada. Very friendly and helpful staff. A very good buffet style breakfast was provided. It's only 20 minutes walk away from the village and bus stops to Funchal / Machico.
We prepared a barbecue dinner with José Manuel's help for our friends that were not staying in our hotel (because the hotel didn't have any more rooms available). José Manuel has been extremely welcoming even for our friends. We have created great memories at the hotel. Will definitely stay again when visiting Madeira.
This place is a oasis of peace and silence in the heart of Madeira. Full of flowers and blooming trees. The only sound is the sound of the lovely birds! We had an 2 floored apartment with a fireplace and everything you need for a longer stay. We loved our stay and can recommend it
The food in the hotel is superb.We got the best breakfast of our holiday there and were disappointed that we were leaving early on the second day.The hotel provided us with a picnic that morning leaving.We also had dinner there and it was really good.Highly recommended.
We did not have a room and it was 12 am and we were stranded in the airport and this was the only hotel that helped us. We traveled around Europe for a month and stayed in 11 cities and this was BY FAR the best stay we had. Amazing service and facilities.
The hotel is very cosy. The garden is beautiful. The staff is very kind and helpful. The restaurant offers really delicious food. Everything was perfect. Just take the "longer" route in the navigation because the hill in the shortest is really crazy.
Good breakfast, the friendliness of the staff, close to golf course, very good beds and linen.
On request new could visit the swimming pools of one the connected hotels in Funchal which was highly appreciated by us.
Silent and relaxed stay in nature at a small farm. Good location for walking in the Northeast of Madeira.
Rural village far away from mass tourism.
Very friendly host with tips for the surroundings.
