Maria was super nice, we forgot to do the shopping for breakfast, she brought us some food. The place is really chill, outside of the town.

We were here for 3 nights, we arranged check-in and check-out ourselves to our full satisfaction, upon arrival you just fill out the form and send a photo of it. The apartment is fully equipped, including a washing machine, microwave oven, kettle, toaster and kitchen utensils. The location is ideal for trips to Santana and nearby levadas. Parking is directly in front of the house. Wifi without problems :) Thank you

Very nice and helpful staff. Free eggs, vegetables and fruit every day. Very interesting garden/farm area to explore. Cozy indoor fireplace. Chill areas outside. Big kitchen. Great for cooking your own meals. The owner was also very helpful with getting a ride to different locations. Thank you, Gonçalo! :)

The hotel is very pleasant.
The hotel is very pleasant. It is good to be together with nature and with beautiful views over the sea and mountains. However, check-in took a long time, we waited 1 hour and a half for them to prepare the room, and when we got to the room, there were no pool towels, we had to ask at reception. Another situation that I didn't like was the booking of the wine tasting and visit to wine house. We were refused the wine tasting because we had already checked out at 12:00h. So we asked if we could do it before check out and they said yes, but we got there and nobody showed up.

Don't stay in Santana longer than 4 days and make sure you have a rental car to get to all the levadas easily. The restaurants/cafes in Santana are not that good/nice. The only tourist attraction in Santana are the famous Santana houses and the nearby hiking area Queimadas.

We made the mistake of not hiring a car before we got to the hotel. We figured we would see what Santana was like and then hire a car locally, this was a big mistake! Once we got to our hotel, it was clear that we would need a car to get around as nothing is close or easy to get to. We're super active people but local hikes are 30 mins just to get to. We were told it would be £630 to hire a car for 5 days. Our advice would be to hire a car ahead of your trip.
Santana is beautiful and has such a variety of things to do and see. Other advice would be to not judge a book by its cover when it comes to restaurants, we ate the best stake in a tiny little restaurant that looked pretty grim from outside.
You probably wont want to spend all your time in Santana but its a great base.

I wanted time to chill, and Santana did that.
Lovely scenery.
Eat at the Serra e Mar
Don't bother with the tourists traditional houses, there are plenty of genuine ones in the town, some very rustic

We love Santana in the winter.
We love Santana in the winter. The tourists are all in Funchal, so you have the place for yourself.
Santana is ideally placed for the best hikes in Madeira: Pico Ruivo (at least 3 different hikes start here, all top-class), Queimadas with its amazing hikes and others. Also a short drive to the airport.
There are some great restaurants in Santana and the adjoining villages and all the services you may need.
Hotel has a super location.
There is enough parking on the property and restaurants are close by. Supermarket is 5min drive from the hotel.
The grounds are amazing and from the general terrace which everyone has access to you can see the sea. The room had the perfect size and we still had enough space with 2 big luggages.
The breakfast was good. We thought it would have been nice to offer some vegegable like tomatoes or slices cucumber.
Otherwise there is a guest fridge where you can leave your stuff and a kitchen to prepare food.
The room was very clean and it had a big balcony.
We also used the swimming pool (whirlpool was closed due to Covid) and tried the food in the restaurant. Nothing to complain about, everything was good.
The breakfast was yummy and diverse (Especially the darker bread was my favorite.)
So you can grab some energy before exploring the beautiful nature around Santana. The location is perfect for that, as the hotel is directly in the center.
A very nice, newly furbished flat, a 15 minute drive from Santana and close to the Caldeiro Verde levada trail. The kitchen was well-equipped and a washing machine was provided as well. Trouble-free parking is available in front of the house. The host responded to our messages almost instantly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely come back again.
The location is a good starting point if you have a car to several great hiking trails. Apartment staff was very helpful and gave us a much bigger apartment than what we originally booked. We could even borrow an umbrella against the rain. Breakfast and the whole breakfasting location was very nice and harmonic. There were also three very nice cats in the garden.
Very comfortable and spacious accommodation in the village part of Santana. Big living room with fire, large terrace, fully equipped kitchen, two full-sized bedrooms. Two kilometers to Santana center. Very good base for Ruivo ridge and south-east part of Madeira trips (Porto da Cruz, Machico, Canical, Ribeiro Frio are within 30 minutes by car).
The room was very comfortable and spacious, especially the bathroom. Nice decoration. Common area (kitchen & living room) was also convenient and well equipped. Beautiful surroundings, levada walk next door. :) I believe the restaurant belongs to the owners, make sure to have a reservation as it can get quite crowded during dinner time.
Amazing hotel near Santana. The view from our room overlooking the ocean was breathtaking! Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, amazing breakfast. I would definitely book this hotel again! The pools and jacuzzi with views of the mountains and oceans were the icing on the cake. The restaurant is also worth a try.
Nice place. Friendly personal and great location. Price quality it was fine. Nothing fancy and we didn’t expect a 5star hotel for this price. Party due to the weather and the slightly outdated rooms the building felt damp and moist. But everything was clean and well organized.
A modern, stylish apartment that was very well equipped. Santana is a lovely little place and the location of the apartment was very peaceful and handy for amenities. Manuel and Fatima were lovely hosts and communication was great! Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Great apartments quite near the centre of Santana and it is a strategic location for trips around East and Centre of Madeira.
The studio had everything we needed (full kitchen, bathroom equipment and so on).
Host family is friendly and kind, thank you so much! :)
Hotel is situated near historical center (with typical Santana's houses). Check-in was easy and with no problems. Owners are very friendly. Comfortable and clean rooms. We like a breakfast here as well as common room, where we can wait to our delayed car.
Everything about the suite was fantastic. Wish every hotel was this well thought out and functional. Great view, great shower, great kitchenette, great cat. Thank you for having the heat on, nights were still chilly, and not everyplace in Madeira did!
The woman who checked us in and later served us at the restaurant was so lovely. Friendly and funny. I’m sorry I can’t accurately remember her name. Elina? If we ever return to Madeira she is the number one reason we will choose Santana in Nature.
View is amazing, food was great (breakfast & bar), very clean. Staff is really nice and helpful. Although the hotel was fully booked, it didn’t feel crowded at all. Very calm and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come back!
