Stayed in attic. Good for 1 night but not for longer. No lift so staff took suitcase up to room.
Best for travellers with little luggage.
Breakfast good.

Uphill there is nice small bar/restourant of local food. You need cash there to pay. Good not expensive national food, especialy tasty local vine. Local people do not speak English, even in restourant, but friendly and warm. Very good place to stay for hiking,

The staff were extremely helpful to make special arrangements for us The rooms and view unbelievable!!
I am not sure if it was at the hotel we contacted a vomitting virus but as soon as we got home we had it for several days. I guess this is very infectious and difficult to control

Curral das ferreiras is very quiet, peacefully and tourist friendly.Ideally if you want the quiet after a day from touring the Island . Definitely you need a car to travel to other places in the Island . We stayed there 3 nights of our holiday that was perfect.

Curral das Freiras has breathtaking mountain views and i would highly recommend staying over one or two nights to do some hikes. We hiked from our accommodation in Curral das Freiras to Pico Rivo and then to Pico Arieiro (and then back to Curral das Freiras). This was quite a long and tough hike (with massive elevation gain), but well worth it. For a shorter hike you can either stop at Pico Arieiro (19km in total) or just do peak to peak which is 5.6km (although I am not sure if Pico Rivo can be reached by car so you might have to do the walk back to Pico Arieiro as well which makes it 11.2km in total and you'll average 3km an hour.

The apartman is very well situated in the middle of village named Curral das Freiras. The whole building is after full reconstruction and therefore the apartman is equiped with the latest modern style furniture and electric devices. We lived on the second floor. I would recommend this apartman for families with enthusiast hikers because it's reallly great starting point. Mrs. Isabel is very polite and she helped me with all my quires. Thank you!
A huge house just for us. A very nice and comfortable patio with shadow and sun and a plum tree (delicious fruits). Usually, it's a good location for hikes (in September 2024, three of four hiking routes were closed). But the bus 81 takes only 45 minutes to Funchal and from there a lot of activities can be done.
Curral das Freiras has a supermarket and a few very nice restaurants and a bakery (open from the early morning till 10 pm).
The house is big and spatious, there are two terraces, it has a wonderful view over the valley, and it's in a very calm area. That is all worth driving up there to Curral das Freiras every day (around 25 mins from Funchal). It is also fully equipped, there's probably anything you might need. The owner is very kind and helpful she responds very fast. We would definitely come there again !
Very spacious apartment (too big for me as a solo traveller, but it was the cheapest hotel left). Well equipped and comfortable. The host was very friendly.
