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

Each room features a double bed with orthopedic mattresses, wooden furniture and access to a shared bathroom. There is also a terrace that all guests have access to which is equipped with a small refrigerator and an electric kettle.

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 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 location, forest, Encumeada, road, views, people, locals and visitors, all felt so calming, relaxed, like floating above the buzz at the coast. The private waterfall was spectacular, compared to the crowded public locations. We were looking for a secluded cottage in the woods and this place was a perfect fit. (cherry on top, we were alone at the location until the last night and the weather was perfect whole stay)
