Vivenda Ribeiro - Curral das Freiras, hotel in Curral das Freiras

Boasting garden views, Vivenda Ribeiro - Curral das Freiras offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 16 km from Marina do Funchal.

I would reccomend you to stay at least a couple of days to really enjoy the surroundings and the amazing terrace. Justine was a very helpful host and always answered fast when we needed guidance. On the day of arrival make sure to arrive before sunset as the roads are windy! Defenitely a house with characther and style

Hotel Catedral, hotel in Curral das Freiras

Hotel Catedral offers elegantly decorated rooms in Funchal’s city centre. It features panoramic views of the area. It also offers free WiFi, as well as free parking.

This hotel was fantastic, the location is right in the old town. Everything was clean and tidy, bathroom exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was delicious. I just searched something cheap because I planned to hang out the last night in Funchal with my friend, so I didn't expect a lot, but I was really pleasantly surprised. In fact, the price was way too cheap for such apartment in the down town.

    Uphill there is nice small bar/restourant of local food. You need cash there to pay. Good not expensive national food, especialy tasty local vine. Local people do not speak English, even in restourant, but friendly and warm. Very good place to stay for hiking,

    The staff were extremely helpful to make special arrangements for us The rooms and view unbelievable!! I am not sure if it was at the hotel we contacted a vomitting virus but as soon as we got home we had it for several days. I guess this is very infectious and difficult to control

    Curral das ferreiras is very quiet, peacefully and tourist friendly.Ideally if you want the quiet after a day from touring the Island . Definitely you need a car to travel to other places in the Island . We stayed there 3 nights of our holiday that was perfect.

    Curral das Freiras has breathtaking mountain views and i would highly recommend staying over one or two nights to do some hikes. We hiked from our accommodation in Curral das Freiras to Pico Rivo and then to Pico Arieiro (and then back to Curral das Freiras). This was quite a long and tough hike (with massive elevation gain), but well worth it. For a shorter hike you can either stop at Pico Arieiro (19km in total) or just do peak to peak which is 5.6km (although I am not sure if Pico Rivo can be reached by car so you might have to do the walk back to Pico Arieiro as well which makes it 11.2km in total and you'll average 3km an hour.

    This is a wonderful place especially for the price. The location is stunning, the rooms are very well cleaned, staff is friendly, and the all around atmosphere is just very relaxing and special. Very nice dining room and swimming pool. The hotel is a bit older but efforts have been made to bring the room up to modern standards, such as a big tv and a lovely walk-in shower. I can think of some little things that could be improved (to really bring up the standard to top notch) but that would likely also bring the price up and out of my range.

    The apartman is very well situated in the middle of village named Curral das Freiras. The whole building is after full reconstruction and therefore the apartman is equiped with the latest modern style furniture and electric devices. We lived on the second floor. I would recommend this apartman for families with enthusiast hikers because it's reallly great starting point. Mrs. Isabel is very polite and she helped me with all my quires. Thank you!

    The house is big and spatious, there are two terraces, it has a wonderful view over the valley, and it's in a very calm area. That is all worth driving up there to Curral das Freiras every day (around 25 mins from Funchal). It is also fully equipped, there's probably anything you might need. The owner is very kind and helpful she responds very fast. We would definitely come there again !

    This is our second visit to this hotel. This time hotel looks very dated, in need of face lift, refurbishment. Looks like nobody really cares, no feedback form, no complimentary water in a room, no mini bar, dated pool, dead, dusty flowers around the hotel, uneven, creeky floor. It looks and feels old and unloved. If not for restaurant our experience would be very sad.

    The hotel has an absolutely stunning location. We were given a very beautiful room with wonderful woodwork and furniture. However, the gentleman at the reception in the evening was a bit awkward. Also, we were quite sad to see that the SPA and pool are only open 10-19:00 which meant we completely missed it. The hotel is perched on a rock and definitely worth a visit.

    It is a new building, located in Curral das Freiras, very nice valley with the view of the mountains and good weather almost all the time. Restaurant ls are around, and you can start very interesting hikes from here. You can even go walking to Pico Ruivo. The owners are very responsive, we had a problem with hot water, and they acted quickly.

    Great location with excellent views. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Onsite restaurant was also really good. Overall a great base for exploring the mountains. I have seen some reviews complaining about facilities - yes it's not a 5 star luxury hotel but you arent paying those prices. Would certainly stay again

    Beautiful place, view on the mountains and Valley of Nuns from all rooms, restaurant and territory. Eira do Serrado view point is 7 min walk from the hotel. Walk down to the valley is also very close. Room was comfortable and clean, personal very friendly. I would like to come back to this place again

    This is the perfect apartment to use as a hiking base for the Valley of Nuns (Curral das Freiras) and surrounding mountains. Apartment is fairly basic but has everything needed and was so perfectly situated. We would definitely book this apartment again.
