10/10 Exceptional

Set high up on the side of a mountain, you have beautiful views from your room and property. The rooms are older but go with the setting and are very comfortable. The staff is outstanding. Graciela and Brayanni were so helpful and fun to talk to. They both truly made our stay incredible. There is a daily breakfast, which was outstanding. There is wine, beer, and other spirits that can be purchased on premises during your stay. The pool was wonderful, but if you don’t like pools, ask for some beach towels and head to one of many beaches. If you like cats, there are some to great you everyday. They were so sweet and friendly.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday watching birds of prey over the gorge by the pool. The staff are excellent and the food delicious. High up in the mountains so nice and quiet. We hired a car but I think there were buses available near by.

4/10 Fair

Boutique hotel sounded like a good idea until we had to take an extremely dangerous road to reach the place with very limited parking spots. Our room did not have Air conditioning, not even a fan and the room was very warm. Opening the window connected you with the noisy road right at the window and leaving you completely exposed to anyone climbing in the room through the window. The front desk lady was rude, and did not even offer any accommodations to make our stay bearable and so we had to leave and book another hotel. If you want to go for a very steep adventure, risk not having a parking and sleeping in a room with no ventilation, air conditioning or a fan the this might be your place.

Peaceful characterful hotel
This hotel is uphill from Ponta do Sol and, having arrived from Funchal by bus, we were prepared to walk what looks on the map like a couple of kilometres. However, we decided to take a taxi and were glad we did, as the journey by road is more like 6 or 7 kms. The taxi was 10eu, quite reasonable. At the hotel a very warm welcome from charming manager Feliks, who went out of his way to be helpful at all times. Beautifully situated old manor house in a peaceful rural location, with immense traditional character, well appointed rooms & fabulous views. Amazing value. Good buffet breakfasts in the attached restaurant, though we were disappointed that it was otherwise closed (perhaps out of season?) as we had no car. There are few local facilities apart from a cafe next door with limited menu. Nevertheless we enjoyed our peaceful days by the pool and a couple of pleasant levada walks accessible just up the hill. Our only criticism/suggestion is about the mention on the website of own quinta produce such as orchard fruit and honey, raising expectations of sampling home-produced foods. Sadly, not only was there no such produce apparent at breakfast but, as almost always these days, standard mass-produced fare such as plastic & foil servings of imported butter, jam and honey. What a shame! It would really enhance the customer experience and the reputation of a character rural hotel like this to offer locally sourced ingredients.

Smukt hotel med fantastisk udsigt
Hotellet er smukt og placeringen fantastisk. Maden og service var i top. Til gengæld mangler hotellet en kærlig hånd ift. renovering, hovedrengøring og komfort ift. behagelige stole i restaurant og udeområder. I badeværelset manglede fx badeforhæng, nogle små ting, som let kunne udbedres ville højne opholdet betragteligt. Og så ville muligheden for køb af lokale vine til maden og eftermiddags drinken være prikken over i’et :)

Die Unterkunft ist einfach fantastisch. Direkt wenn man auf den Parkplatz fährt sieht man eine tolle Sitzmöglichkeit unter einem Pavillon, die abends schön beleuchtet ist. Hier man eine gute Sicht bis zum Meer. Das Gebäude an sich bietet super viel. Vom Zimmer aus hatten wir einen tollen Blick auf den Pool und der Wintergarten in dem auch das Frühstück serviert wird ist einfach ein Traum! Vor unserem Balkon war ein riesen Avocadobaum und die geernteten Avocados gab es morgens zum Frühstück. Absolut empfehlenswert, wenn jemand eine Unterkunft mit besonderem flair haben möchte.

Der Aufenthalt war eine wahre Freude. Wer ein Auto hat und somit flexibel ist, ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben! Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und vor allem die öffentlichen Bereiche sehr liebevoll ausgestattet. Sollte man einen Kritikpunkt finden wollen, so wäre einzig und allein die Dusche in unserem Zimmer zu erwähnen. Sie würde sich über eine neue Duschtasse, ein Ersetzen der fehlenden Fliesen und die Ansage zum Kampf gegen einsetzenden Schimmel aufgrund der Feuchtigkeit sehr freuen.

So lovely!
Quaint and just lovely. The restaurant has no menu but you get what they offer you on the day. It feels homemade which is nice. The view is excellent and the area is gorgeous. The room lacked vacuuming and was a bit worn, but no big deal. There are beautiful walks in the area - we easily made do without a car.

Hôtel super sympa avec une décoration très british. Le personnel est très gentil et aux petits soins avec les clients (Samantha géniale). Reproches : pression d'eau trop faible et difficile à avoir de l'eau chaude, et insonorisation à revoir. Malgré cela, c'est hôtel vaut vraiment le coup d'y aller.

Hôtel dans une ancienne maison de maître, ambiance chaleureuse, beaucoup d'espace, un salon par étage, piscine, très calme. Parking fermé. Deux petites remarques, l'eau chaude est longue à venir, l'entrée du parking un peu étroite.
