This stay was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, every detail exuded excellence—luxurious accommodations, impeccable service, and a serene atmosphere that felt like a peaceful retreat. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and professionalism, making us feel genuinely welcome. Dining at the hotel’s restaurants was an absolute delight—the cuisine was exquisite, and the ambiance perfectly complemented each meal. I initially thought the glowing review might be exaggerated, but after experiencing it firsthand, I can confidently say: every word was deserved. A perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and charm. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable getaway.

Staying at this property was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment you step into the grounds, you're greeted by lush gardens, a serene tea house, a rejuvenating spa, and a stunning pool—all thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained. We were lucky enough to enjoy breakfast in the garden, which felt like a true luxury. The entire atmosphere is peaceful yet elegant, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately, we only had one night here, but it left such a lasting impression that we’d love to return. Every detail reflects excellence, and the service was warm and attentive. This place truly lives up to its reputation—highly recommend for anyone seeking a memorable, high-end retreat.

We stayed for 7 days with my friend through ASI Reisen at this charming hotel, and it was an absolute delight. The breakfast buffet was exceptional—delicious, well-prepared, and beautifully presented with thoughtful portion sizes. Everything felt clean, neat, and cared for. One minor note: the breakfast room opened only at 7:30 AM, but our hiking tours started at 8:30, so we had to rush a bit to make it on time. Still, the experience was worth it. The pool and hot tub were lovely, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The location is truly unique—nestled along a steep road I’ve never seen before, and the sight of wicker baskets gliding past right outside our windows was unforgettable. The rooms are quiet, clean, and comfortable, making for a peaceful stay. To reach Funchal city center, I’d recommend booking a taxi—those 1.9 km are just as steep as the rest of the road, so walking isn’t ideal. Overall, this place offers a special, authentic vibe with excellent service and attention to detail. A standout choice for anyone looking for a quiet, scenic retreat in Madeira.

Staying at Number 15 Ocean & City View Villas in Funchal was a solid experience overall. The apartment is spacious and well-appointed, with high-quality furnishings and a generous layout that feels both comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The outdoor area is a real highlight—perfect for soaking up the sun with panoramic views of Funchal town and the harbor. While the shared pool isn’t heated, it’s ideal for cooling off during the summer months when the weather gets warm. The location is just north of the city center, making it a manageable 15-minute walk into town. However, returning uphill can be tough, especially if you’re carrying bags or traveling with kids. We walked into town every day and took taxis back—usually from the rank near the Continente supermarket, which is about a 4-minute ride. Taxi fares varied between €5 and €8 even on the same route, so it’s worth asking for an estimate upfront. Also note: some drivers charge an extra €1.50 for handling shopping bags—something to keep in mind. The only downside was the barking dogs nearby, which were persistent on certain days and carried through the night. I understand Louise, the host, has been trying to address this, and I hope she succeeds. Despite that, the property offers great value, especially for travelers who appreciate a quiet yet central base with stunning views.

The accommodation was absolutely lovely and well-equipped, making our stay truly comfortable. The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help.

We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. It’s clear this place is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and authenticity. We’d happily return again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine, relaxing getaway in Madeira.

Breakfast was a highlight: fresh local ingredients, deliciously prepared, and served with a warm smile by the host.

I couldn’t recommend this place more highly—ideal for travelers seeking tranquility, charm, and exceptional service. Will definitely be back.
