Aqua Natura Madeira Hotel
Best breakfast of our holiday, really excellent choices, quality and service. Room was lovely and the views are very dramatic being right above the sea. Even the sauna and hot tub have a view, fantastic view! At the time of our visit work took place in our part of the accommodation. I’m always disappointed ...
