PortoBay Serra Golf, hotel in Santo da Serra

Featuring a house dating back to 1920, Porto Bay Serra Golf is surrounded by gardens, and provides guests with direct access to Santo da Serra Golf Course.

This hotel is Amazing! Not only because of the vintage building but because of the people who work there. The staff is really nice and friendly. The swimming pool and sauna are great after a day hiking. The restaurant has a talented cook and you can taste one of the best scabbard fish filet with banana of the whole Madeira.

Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club, hotel in Santo da Serra

Boasting 400 meters of private sea front, this 5-star property offers spacious rooms all with balcony and views of the Atlantic and the Deserted Islands.

The breakfast was excellent and with a chef preparing your eggs to your order. The room was very large and very comfy with a beautiful view over the ocean. The bathroom very nice as well with top quality amenities. We loved the sea pool down at sea level - with easy access to the sea. The heated pool at hotel level was also great. We did also enjoy dinner with delicious food and high quality service.

Casa Velha do Palheiro Relais & Chateaux, hotel in Santo da Serra

Casa Velha do Palheiro Relais & Chateaux is a 5-star manor house hotel situated in the old Palheiro Gardens in the foothills of Funchal.

We loved the hotel’s rural setting, high above Funchal, its old world luxury, and the quality of service offered by the staff. Best of all was the direct access to the extraordinary adjacent Palheiro garden. A very special hotel.

The Views Oasis, hotel in Santo da Serra

Surrounded by gardens and overlooking Ilhas Desertas and the Ponta de S. Lourenço, the The Views Oasis is only 8 km from Madeira Airport.

We really liked the following: the relaxed atmosphere, the very child-friendly staff, the small playground next to the hotel and the activities offered for children, the spacious family room with separate bedroom and kitchen unit and of course the excellent and varied food - especially the dessert (I have rarely eaten such delicious cakes). See you soon, Martin and family

    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.

    very peaceful and well equipped. very rustic and spacious. best bed so far in Madeira! good shower too. it is also not far from the village where there is a good friendly restaurant that does traditional food and seemed very popular with the locals. there is a very authentic and historic market here which I believe is on a Sunday that looks like it is worth a visit.

    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 room was very spacious, the bed was huge and comfortable. In our experience, sometimes there is an issue with non-hotel accommodations being quite cold but here they turned on the hearing every afternoon and there was a fireplace in our room which made it bearable. Staff was very kind. The location is very peaceful and quiet.

    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 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.
