AL Moniz, hotel in Santa Cruz

Located halfway between Machico and Santa Cruz, this family-run hotel is just a short drive from Madeira Airport and impresses with stunning sea views.

No one at reception. I arrived late at night and expected someone to be there. I was woken up twice to clean. Restaurant not open. What the booking website says does not match.

    Everything was wonderful. The apartment was charming, comfortable, and spacious, perfect for a long stay. Located in a quiet area very close to Funchal, it is equipped with everything necessary. A very large terrace. The sunrise is beautiful. There are shops and restaurants nearby. The parking space is a plus. Check-in is easy, and the host is very helpful. Nelio helped us with information about the area. We hope to return soon.

    Great location, spacious and clean apartment. All basic stuff which usually needed like toilet paper, soap, washing liquid, dish soap, cooking oil, salt & pepper already in apartment. Very nice you do not need to buy those things for short stayings! Additionally parking place in underground garage, but tricky to park on. Rather for compact car, not for wide SUV. Instant contact with host, with detailed photo & video instructions on how to get keys, get in and so on. Really recommend.

    Clean, spacious accommodation. Great location close to the airport and in a quiet area within walking distance of shops and restaurants in Machico. There is an incredible viewpoint to watch the sunrise that is within walking distance. Even though it is close to the airport, it is nice and quiet. Easy check-in, and hostess was very kind. Great value for money. Would stay here again, and I recommend the flat to anyone looking for a quiet, self-catering accommodation in Madeira.
