Homestays in Madeira Archipelago, Portugal

"A fantastic little place in Caneçal, highly recommend! Its well situated, easy to access, and has great facilities, perfect for a couple or a small family looking to access local hikes or relax in the small fishing town."

"Het hotel heeft een prachtige omgeving! Omringd door bergen, groen en bloemen. Stilte alom, vogels die fluiten - pure ontspanning! Onze kamer had een eigen terrasje waar je heerlijk kunt zitten en genieten van de stilte en het prachtige uitzicht. Er is een prachtig pad in de buurt! Je moet er zeker langs lopen. Ontbijtbuffet, niet erg gevarieerd, maar voor ons was het voldoende."

"The room was clean, the hotel is in a really good location. The kitchenette is well equipped, you have all the basics. The building is not very well sound- proofed, so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. It's a 2* hotel and reflected in the price but it's a good value for the money."

"Host room on the heights, quiet, comfortable and clean, 3min from the center/ owner/ well-equipped and functional kitchen + terrace + living room"

"Had some issues with the leak in the roof that woke me up but apart from that it’s an amazing place and location is fantastic."

"The Quinta da Saraiva is a beautiful small boutique hotel in a great position overlooking Câmara de Lobos. I would have liked to stay longer but unfortunately it was just an overnight stop. My room was quite small but lovely, with the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in for a long time. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There’s a bar in the reception area which operates on an honesty basis when it’s unmanned. The pool and jacuzzi, overlooking the town below, are great. The hotel’s gardens are nice to explore - they grow lots of stuff, and you’re encouraged to help yourself to bananas! Breakfast was a cold platter of various meats, cheeses, salad, fruit, bread and pastries, with tea/coffee and juices. Eggs are also offered. Personally, I’d have preferred some muesli and yoghurt and more hot options, but it was very nice and well presented. A couple of things: - the hotel discourages you from drinking the water and offers expensive bottled water instead (although it was given to me free of charge when I asked for water at breakfast). So you may wish to take your own. - if you’re driving, the track to the hotel off a busy roundabout is crazy. Be prepared...I almost extended my stay just to avoid the drive out! - The hotel is a little far for walking to the nearest restaurants and to the town, and it’s hilly. I’m fine with that but it won’t suit everyone. There’s an excellent place called Polar which is very popular with locals. It’s about 20 minutes, but be prepared for a bit of a climb. "

"Geweldige locatie, mooie grootte en goede algehele kwaliteit van de kamer en voorzieningen. Het enige vervelende, of liever gezegd negatieve, punt is de beperkte openingstijden van de receptie. Een aantal van ons arriveerde 's avonds en hoewel er stond aangegeven dat we gebeld zouden worden met de incheckgegevens, troffen we bij aankomst een gesloten ingang aan en moesten we het nummer bellen dat op het bord stond. Pas 30 minuten later kwam er iemand om de incheckprocedure af te handelen. Hetzelfde gold voor het uitchecken, omdat de schoonmaakster van een ander hotel moest komen om de deur voor ons te openen."
