We just returned from a wonderfully relaxing week at Quinta das Vinhas. The location is lovely - very peaceful, but not too far from the main routes round the island. Very impressed with the hard-working and helpful staff. The rooms aren't swanky, but have all you'd need - although another source of light would have been great, there were just two dim bedside lamps.

We found some guests felt isolated, but a bit of effort with a taxi or the local busses take you to some fantastic levada walks nearby. We had a hire car and explored the mountains in the morning and came back for swimming and sun in the afternoon. Dining was five star and the staff brighten the place up with their courtesy and helpfulness.

This is a fabulous little hotel. A real gem. Great location, lovely room with balcony & stunning view (we stayed in the Ocean View Suite), delightful & friendly staff (Telma, Nicole & Raquel deserve a special mention), delicious breakfast (& dinner if required) and all spotlessly clean and well maintained. Access to the hotel is typical Madeiran - via a steep & narrow road - & parking can be a bit tricky, but all this adds to the experience. I cannot rate this hotel more highly, and it is...

Excellent stay with Joaquim and co whom are very welcoming. The room and property are kept clean and tidy. There are fantastic views of the surrounding area of Sao Vicente from the property as well. I would be more then happy to stay here again. Approx 10 min walk to the local cafes. 30 min walk to Sao Vicente town/waterfront, and approx 40 mins walk back due to the incline. It is an ideal location if you have a rental car! X

Nice resort hotel in the North West of Madeira, perfectly located for the natural pools. As an added bonus you get access to unlimited free day passes into the pools that require a paid ticket. The staff were so lovely, friendly and helpful. We had a friend call ahead (unknown to us) to tell them it was our honeymoon and they gave us a free bottle of wine which was a lovely gesture.

Me and my husband have stayed there for 4 nights and I can't say a single bad word about the hotel. The room was amazing, stuff very nice (we even got a packed breakfast to take away because we had to leave early!) and the view from the room's balcony is priceless. Highly recommended.

The staff are courteous and friendly and helpful. If they were unable to help directly they could always advise where you might get the help you needed.
We enjoyed our stay but did find a big disadvantage that as it was 3-4 miles inland from the express way on very difficult roads you didn't want to go into the town after dark. This meant that you ate in the hotel every night. The restaurant menu was very good although it was the same every night so you eventually ran out of choice. After...
