Newly refurbished room .New shower facilities.
Nice and clean.
Fantastic view from balcony (chairs and table provided)
Enough space in the parking area(free of charge).
Close to the airport - view on landing and starting airplanes but still quiet and private.
We had a wonderful stay 😊

The location was really nice, up a hill with a view of the valley below. The host was extremely nice and helpful, the house was equipped with everything we needed and more, bathroom was clean and kitchen well equipped. And all that for a very reasonable price.

The host was extremely communicative and clear about everything. He even sent pictures to go with each step of instructions. The indoor reserved parking spot was a life saver. We also had to ask to stay an extra night due to a medical issue and he was kind and accommodating.

Machico is so much nicer to stay in than Funchal if you like the quieter more laid back vibe. The shops and restaurants are all good but particular praise must go to all the ladies in Pastelria O Gala who worked tirelessly to keep their customers happy at all times - the Pastel de Natas were simply gorgeous and at EUR1.00 each were superb value. Try O Secreta for a really nice evening meal and don't forget to try the bread in Paderia e Pastelaria Flor de Machico

The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. The location was great ... within walking distance to the beach and also to the village centre. It is also close to the airport.
The name of the apartment was not very clear. In the small print it has Edifico VIP Baie, but I was looking VIP Paradise Apartments.

A lovely town of just the right size, lively but still calm - it has a lot of good restaurants, various stores etc that make your stay comfier than one in a smaller town, without the crowds of a bigger city which can get overwhelming. Funchal is a short drive away, and it is also a great base for all the trips and hikes especially around the eastern part of the island.
And there is a sandy beach well protected from the waves, so almost everyday is a good day for a swim!

Great place for my vacation.
Great place for my vacation. Quiet town providing all you need - supermarkets, one sand and one rocky beach, starting point for hikes and runners trails. Public buses to east part of the island ad Funchal. Bus to the airport - 5min ride for 1,3 eur. Great!

If you are without a car and want to visit most of the tourist places on Madeira Island you should rather look for a apartment in the Funchal city. That's a town where most of the buses go and you are going to have more time for your trips. The Machico city is also great and beautiful but rather quiet and somewhat local.

Machico is a quiet little place with good restaurants and a relaxed vibe.
Supermarkets and all the normal sevices. Good if you prefer to be out of the hustle bustle of Funchal but only 15 minutes drive away. The East of Madeira has good gentle levada hikes and a super beachside restaurant in Porto da Cruz.
This was an excellent place to stay in Machico. Very comfortable bed with nice bedding, well designed large room with a seating area and every amenity you could need. Guest house has great kitchen and common areas. The location is perfect. Just minutes from the sea, great restaurants and cafes. Very easy to access hiking trails from this area. The hosts are very friendly, make you feel at home. They also have great advice for things to do in the area.
This is really special place. Hidden in the village, but what a house! Really nice, clean, and hospitality from owner is amazing. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived (their home made wine) and in the morning he brought us fresh bread. View from terrace is stunning and I only regret I couldn’t stay longer. Next time I come back to Madeira this place is my number one choice!!!
In the center of Machico, very nice place to stay.
We parked the car at the gas station near by, just a short walk (uphill) but well, you‘re in Madeira.
The kitchen had all the stuff you need and more (boxes to store and take food with you on a trip, our coffee got filled up…).
Really nice and uncomplicated stay - we enjoyed it very much!
Lovely apartment within walking distance to the beachfront of Machico and the shops and restaurants around the main square. The property offers all you need to comfortably stay for a couple of days. I stayed in the run up to the Trans Madeira mountain bike race and it was perfect for what I needed.
Everything you need for a good vacation in Madeira, if you want to feel the real, not the touristic, Madeira. The kindest host, truly welcoming and warm attitude. The restaurant serves traditional Madeira cuisine, locals also love this place. Fantastic location with the superb views.
Exceptional value for money, and very large place especially for 1 person. Could house a family easily. Easy enough to reach from Madeira airport by car and to Sao Lourenco reserve the next morning. Proprietors provided all the information needed to find the property and get in.
Lovely spot in small Machico, much preferred over crazy Funchal (which we did visit for full day tour). Had super room with patio overlooking square. Great hosts, awesome breakfast. Really nice restaurants in area, Enjoyable waterfront walks. Room comfy enough.
very convenient both to town of Machico and near airport although minimal airport noise. impeccably clean and all details were thought of to ensure comfortable stay. very good internet. host very helpful and proactive and professional.
Great location, friendly staff, Machico is a great location. Excellent breakfast. You have the option to go to roque beach but also to the sandy beach, very close to the hotel, pay parking is good, you can find easy a space
Excellent location, courteous staff, nice rooms with views, windows that tilt open, to fall asleep with sounds of waves rolling in. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Right in centre of Machico, walking distance to all shops
Spent 10 days there and honestly, it's a perfect place to stay in Madeira. Fully equipped spacious and clean unit 5 minutes away from the sandy beach, the shop, and the restaurants. I couldn't be more satisfied.
Good bed and breakfast hotel in the middle of Machico. Close seaside and fish restaurant. Good selection to have bed and breakfast together with PR8 sunrise trip in the morning :)
Clean and nicely appointed room. The location was perfect. Restaurants, the beach, grocery stores, and the bus line are all right there. Machico is awesome.
