On a quiet rural road, against the lush forest high up above Faial, Camelias is a family-run guesthouse with just a few rooms. Ours had a functional kitchen, a dining table for 2, TV, and a sunny south-facing terrace with great valley views, but no working wifi in the room. It's nice to stroll around the village to discover old stone pathways and levada canals, though it's steep in every direction. The closest shops and restaurants are 10 minutes away in Santana - we can recommend Marcel's Bistro. There's a special parking place off the road below the guesthouse. It's a peaceful place, though sounds from the large communal living room travel down the corridor - and around Christmas, the poor dog was not happy with the festive fireworks set off in the valley.
Boasting quiet street views, Casa Os Manos offers accommodation with patio, around 3.8 km from Santana's traditional houses. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property.

Wonderful experience at Villa Alta Vista: the studio was big and clean and it has everything you need. The view was amazing (both sea and mountain view), great place to see the sunrise, hear the birds sing and admire the beautiful garden.
Sabino and his family are the best hosts, friendly and warm, provided us with flowers and many welcome gifts, was always available with advice, made us feel like home.
Highly recommend the place for an unforgetable experience and would love to return.
Thank you Sabino and family!

Lovely quiet,, well equipped and clean traditional style cottage in a large garden. The owner was very friendly and responsive. The kitchen and bathroom were excellent and the bed, towels and logs for the fire were renewed regularly. The location is convenient for mountains, coast, airport and Funchal. Supermarket within walking distance.

We were 3 people and stayed here for 12 days and had a perfect holiday. The house has everything we needed. We especially loved the beautiful garden where you can relax in the sun and sea breeze . Linda, the gardener and girls of the cleaning team are all very friendly. There is a small store and a cafe within a short walk where you can get your daily necessities. There are also restaurants within a few minutes' walk, which is very convenient.

The accommodation was beautiful, clean, and tidy. The terrace with a view of Funchal was amazing, and every room was well-prepared. The kitchen was also well-equipped. The environment was quiet and pleasant without much noise, and there was a nearby shop for food.
Communication with the provider was very pleasant and quick. Everything was done via WhatsApp, and it was possible to write or call – in both cases, the communication was excellent.
We are very satisfied with the accommodation and highly recommend it.
The top choice for people wanting to get away from noise and fast-paced city life. Country houses are private homes based in the peaceful countryside, with communal facilities and meals available. Activities to unwind can be included too, such as trekking, birdwatching and cycling.
The house is in a stunning location in a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. Rubina was very helpful and did a wonderful job of keeping the accommodation tidy every day. Cooking in that beautiful kitchen with the fresh eggs and vegetables produced locally is an experience in itself. We had a great time, no doubt we will stay here next time we come to Madeira.
Amazing breakfast with a variety of food.
Amazing location, since we were looking for a place outside of Funchal but still not far from there with a car.
Smily and friendly staff.
We were staying there 4 days for our honeymoon and it felt so quiet and peaceful we would have wanted to stay longer if we could.
Amazing sea view from the room!
Very beautiful, old estate country house style with a huge living & breakfast room with fireplace. The rooms are clean, tidy & cosy. Breakfast is good. A peaceful place.
Great location for exploring Madeira. You have perfect place to park your car. The landlady is very kind and tries to make your stay pleasant. The house is spacious and well decorated. The place is very peaceful and quiet, we slept well and had a great rest.
Quiet, peaceful location. Room was lovely. Lots to do. We did the wine tasting, popped over to the bakery to get some traditional bread, walked. Lots of different areas to go and sit and have a drink. Really enjoyed this stay and I would come back.
• The location is ideal to visit Pico Ruivo. Or to hike PR1.1 or parts of PR1.2 and PR1.3 (and many other stunning mountain hiking trails in this area of the island.
• It is also calm and quiet in the area, away from the hustle and bustle in Funchal.
• The host that received us at the property was very friendly! Made us feel right at home!
The house is in a very quiet natural area close to hiking routes. You can easily get to Queimadas or even hike to Pico Ruivo if you like challenges without getting into your car. It has a garden all for yourself with subtropical plants. The house was very clean, cozy with nice furniture and rustic decor. The kitchen is fully equipped including an electric stove and all appliances seemed new. There's good wifi and cable TV even with English language channels. You can park your car on the property.
If you go for hiking this is a nice location. The bathroom and living room are clean. The bed was comfortable and it is quiet. The restaurant next door offers nice food and the staff is so friendly.
The view from the terrace is just amazing. We enjoyed the quietness and peacefulness of the place. The house is located at the height of 480m away from populated areas just on the edge of the forest. For those who love nature I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay. Hiking trails are just a few meters from your door. House is very well equipped, we found everything we needed. There is a modern kitchen with all the cooking equipment. We enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace as well.
really lovely accommodation, modern, clean and everything you need. Staff are very friendly and helpful and ideal location for hiking. Perfect with private parking and facilities but best of all so quiet and peaceful.
