I hope this message finds you well! I just wanted to take a moment to share how truly beautiful my stay was at A Fortaleza Do Pico. From the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape to the warm hospitality of the staff, every moment was a delight. The peaceful atmosphere allowed me to relax and fully immerse myself in the natural beauty of the area. The accommodations were not only comfortable but also thoughtfully designed, reflecting the charm of the locale. I especially enjoyed exploring the nearby trails and discovering the unique flora and fauna. Each day was an adventure, and I left feeling rejuvenated and inspired. “Best wishes, Davon Gaines

Modern & Recycled Guest House, hotel in Machico

Located in Machico, a 2-minute walk from Sao Roque Beach, Modern & Recycled Guest House features views of the city. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

The staff was welcoming and nice. The room was spacious and clean. There is a common equipped kitchen and terrace. Different types of coffee machines can be found (we used mokka as we prefer darker coffee). Every room has its own set of cutlery and dishes. The location is excellent. While there is no free parking close to the guest house (the closest is 5-7 min away), there is a new underground parking just around the corner that costs 7 euros per day. We were provided the fan on request as it was hot during our stay.

Madeira Surf Camp, hotel in Machico

Madeira Surf Camp is located in Porto da Cruz, north-eastern coast of the Madeira Island. Funchal is 20 mi away and free WiFi access is available.

The property is pretty and clean with a large open terrace roof top, fully stocked kitchen and common area, and the room is nice too! It is a "remote access" style guest house as opposed to a "host on site" guest house, and the hosts (and surf instructor) are easy to contact online, friendly and accomodate their guests well!

    Great location and views. Easy access by local transportation for example to the airport, Funchal, or Baia D'abra. There have always been places by the pool, but it may be a matter of weather and being there before the season. Rooms and the hotel were clean and well-groomed, a great descent to the beach.

    Great location, easy access to property. We were picked up at the airport by the host herself(15 euros), so we had no trouble getting there. Plenty of space, safe location, main facilities provided, easy communication with the owners. The host also gave us a few important tips as to the best restaurants and supermarkets. We were also greeted with a bottle of wine, some cookies, tea and coffee, which was nice.

    Nice and clean accommodation that's very central in Machico. Very "youthful" and perfect for backpackers who would like a more upscale hostel, but if you are a couple looking for a "romantic holiday," then I would probably suggest something else. The host was also very nice and helped us get a taxi at 3.a.m. in the morning.
