A good location for a stress-free getaway in Machico, Vale dos Ilhéus is a guest house surrounded by views of the garden. The property features a garden, barbecue facilities and parking on-site among other facilities. With city views, this accommodation features a patio. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the sea and mountain.

My recent stay at this property in Machico was absolutely delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine smile from the lovely lady who welcomed us. Her friendliness and enthusiasm set the tone for our entire stay, making us feel like valued guests. The property itself is a true gem. It's impeccably clean and newly arranged, showcasing an impeccable attention to detail. The interior is tastefully decorated, and the highlight, of course, is the breathtaking view of the ocean and the city below. It was a feast for the eyes every morning and evening, and we couldn't get enough of it. The beautifully landscaped garden and relaxing area were a sanctuary of tranquility. We spent our mornings sipping coffee while taking in the stunning view and our evenings watching the sunset, all in the comfort of this serene outdoor space. It's a perfect spot for unwinding and rejuvenating. The property offered a wealth of commodities, making our stay comfortable and hassle-free. We appreciated the attention to detail in providing everything we could possibly require. Thank you to the wonderful host for making our vacation truly memorable. We're grateful for the fantastic experience!

    If you're looking for a local experience you're in for a treat. The rooms are very authentic and they got a fabulous view of the ocean. What makes it truly outstanding, is the restaurant. We had dinner 3 nights out of 4, and the restaurant was packed with people, especially locals, everytime. The maestro who runs the place is a true character as well. In all the good ways! Would definitely come back.

    Loved everything about it. Great room, nicely decorated, comfy beds. The location is awesome (right on the Street of Bitterness :) Ruben was such a great host, welcomed us with some homemade cherry brandy, gave us great food recommendations and was very friendly and flexible. Couldn't recommend more!
