I would give a million stars if I could, this was the best hotel we've stayed at in a long time. The staff is incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. The location is magical and we were very sad to leave. The tomato jam was delicious, thank you so much for having us! <3

Holidays Madeira is 18th century house located in São Vicente's city centre, northern shore of the Madeira Island. The São Vicente Chapel is 850 metres away. Free WiFi access is available.

The terrace offers panoramic views of the surroundings and is the perfect place to start the day with a reinvigorating breakfast. For a taste of the local gastronomy, guest can visit the restaurants in the vicinity within 300 metres.

Frederico and his family are amazing. They were happy to advise us on everything. Towels were changed every three days and her house is very traditional. The house is located in a picturesque town where there are not many tourists, there is no problem with parking and the local bar has the best Ponch on the island. I warmly recommend!

For me the best place to visit Madeira. Central to reach all the parts of the Island. And the place is so beautiful. Wonderful garden, the house is very nice and my room was so beautiful and confortable, recently renovated and all was so clean ! Very good breakfast every morning. And surf lessons were so great. I really enjoy to stay here and if I come back to Madeira for sure I'll come back here again ! Thanks again Andreia and Ruben for your kindness, you contributed to my great vacations in this wonderful island that Madeira is.

Estalagem Corte do Norte is located in Ponta Delgada, 40.5 km from Funchal and 7 km from São Vicente. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free WiFi is available and free private parking is available on site.

This is an amazing place where we met such a sincere attitude of the hotel owner. Paulo is ready to help in absolutely any matter, tell everything, prompt and advise. You can take a map and ask Paulo about the places where you are going to go. It felt like visiting a friend and not a regular hotel. Delicious fresh breakfasts with fruits were a good filling to explore the corners of the island all day long. They also prepare freshly brewed coffee or cappuccino for breakfast. Paulo is a very-very kind and open person, because only a person with a good soul will still pay attention to local cats which also need to be fed. And only here we tasted a fantastic dinner on all Madeira, asking Paulo to cook sea bream with vegetables from local gardens in advance. It was adorably delicious and worthy of a Michelin star. The rooms themselves are always clean and pleasant, towels are changed every day. If something is missing or something is needed you can easily ask the owner about it and you will have everything - whether it be an electric kettle or mugs. There is a balcony from where you can look at the ocean or just relax in the evening. If you have an early check-out then ask Paulo and sandwiches and fruit will be waiting for you to go. We remember the time spent in this hotel with warmth and like so much communication with Paulo.

    For us it was perfect- calm, quiet , peaceful and very well equipped. Parking right in front of the house. Great host! A lot of useful info about Madeira in the house. Good location for exploring the island. Nice garden terrace with great views - both of ocean and the mountains. It's quite near the city and there is also a snack bar few hundred meters nearby for quick bite or a drink.

    The place is really quiet and peaceful - it's great to relax and forget about the busy city. The view is amazing! The rooms are really nice. They're comfy and cozy with everything you need to feel at home, but the best part is the terrace with garden. It's like a special outdoor area where you can sit and eat. From there, you can see everything even better. It's perfect for having breakfast while enjoying the view. The hosts are super helpful and polite!

    The view of the mountains from the window was very beautiful. The location was very pleasant and quiet. Breakfast is pretty much the same every morning (fresh bread, ham, cheese, yogurt and something sweet) plus fresh fruit. The host is very friendly and does laundry if necessary. Wifi is available, but may not always work flawlessly (connection is better in public areas).

    Fantastic location, with tents situated in a beautiful garden (banana trees, passion fruit, cucumbers) . The place is Very quiet at night. There is both an indoor- and an outdoor kitchen with BBQ/grill, with all the amenities, and the toilets and showers are modern and very clean. Christina is a great host, and very quick in responding to any questions. The place is a great location from where to explore the whole island. Seixal blacksand beach is just 15 minutes away! Would definitely stay again!

    Really beautiful house a bit outside of the city of Sao Vicente. Great location for doing hikes in the area and super quiet area to stay in. There were nice common areas - it was more like a house than a hotel so we had use of the kitchen, patio, and living room. Really beautiful area and a friendly host!
