The small Faial Beach is nearby, just a 5-minute drive away. For golfing enthusiasts, the nearest golf course is a 25-minute drive from the property. The famed São Vicente Caves are a 35-minute drive away and are one of Madeira’s most famous and recognizable landmarks. The green areas of the Ribeiro Frio Natural Park are a 15-minute drive away and feature a wide number of hiking trails and picnic spots for guests to enjoy, as well as a varied plant life.

This family owned B&B is in a beautiful location, with stunning views. The studios are very private, and have balconies overlooking the mountains. The communal areas of the property include a ‘glass room’ and a cosy living room with fire. Both are gorgeous. The property layout gives a great opportunity to choose whether to keep yourself to yourself, or to mingle with others. The family are exceptionally helpful and friendly. Id recommend this place to anyone.

Boasting a quiet setting in Santana, this lodge is 23 km from Madeira International Airport and makes the most of its natural surroundings. WiFi access is provided throughout the property.

Perfect for exploring Northern Madeira, Os Manos combines family-friendly accommodation with stunning mountain views. The surrounding area is excellent for hiking and exploring nature, and the hotel's staff can provide information and advice.

A really great place to stay, the staff is amazing ! We also had dinner once and the food was really good ! I recommend Os Manos.

Situated in the UNESCO biosphere reserve of Madeira, Casas de Campo do Pomar B&B - Self Check-in is surrounded by an extensive tropical garden. The north of Madeira is more humid than the rest of the island. Esp. during the rainy season humidity is high also in the apartments. The beginning of the Madeira Levada walks start 6 km from the property.

If you have a car, and you are doubting, just book! It gives you Bali vibes. We absolutely loved it! You can relax in the hammock and enjoy the lush gardens. Would have loved to stay 2 extra days (stayed 2 now). If you have a car, it also is the perfect location if you want to visit Pico Ruivo! It is about an 18 minute drive to the parking of Pico Ruivo. From the parking it is a 45 minute to 1 hour hike to the top, and is is absolutely amazing! We would recommend waking up at 5.30AM (in December, for other months it might differ), and be at the parking for Pico Ruivo at 6AM. Make sure you have a torch or your phone light and walk up to the top. Make sure to dress warmly as well, not for the hike, but for once you are on top! You will first walk under the stars to then see the sun rise above the clouds. You can enjoy the sunrise and walk back to the parking (45 minutes) and drive back to Campo do Pomar and enjoy breakfast and chill a bit more in the hammock. Again, we absolutely loved it!

Santana's traditional houses is 16 km from the holiday home, while Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools is 30 km away. The nearest airport is Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International, 37 km from Casa de Campo Arco de São Jorge by An Island Apart, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

Everything was perfect. Nice and clean with everything you need. Maybe for longer stays you’ll feel the lack of a washing machine, but for our 5 nights stay we didn’t need it. The fact that there was coffee was just the cherry on top. The host was replying really fast to our messages. Fast as in instant.

Everything was amazing. Sabino was very attentive and friendly host. Apartment is extremely clean and cozy, bed is huge and comfortable. Apartment is better in real life, than on photos, by the way. Ocean view is unbelievable! Kitchen is big and well-equipped, you can cook everything there. Wi-Fi was fast and stable

    Amazing breakfast with a variety of food. Amazing location, since we were looking for a place outside of Funchal but still not far from there with a car. Smily and friendly staff. We were staying there 4 days for our honeymoon and it felt so quiet and peaceful we would have wanted to stay longer if we could. Amazing sea view from the room!

    Quiet, peaceful location. Room was lovely. Lots to do. We did the wine tasting, popped over to the bakery to get some traditional bread, walked. Lots of different areas to go and sit and have a drink. Really enjoyed this stay and I would come back.

    • The location is ideal to visit Pico Ruivo. Or to hike PR1.1 or parts of PR1.2 and PR1.3 (and many other stunning mountain hiking trails in this area of the island. • It is also calm and quiet in the area, away from the hustle and bustle in Funchal. • The host that received us at the property was very friendly! Made us feel right at home!

    The house is in a very quiet natural area close to hiking routes. You can easily get to Queimadas or even hike to Pico Ruivo if you like challenges without getting into your car. It has a garden all for yourself with subtropical plants. The house was very clean, cozy with nice furniture and rustic decor. The kitchen is fully equipped including an electric stove and all appliances seemed new. There's good wifi and cable TV even with English language channels. You can park your car on the property.

    The view from the terrace is just amazing. We enjoyed the quietness and peacefulness of the place. The house is located at the height of 480m away from populated areas just on the edge of the forest. For those who love nature I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay. Hiking trails are just a few meters from your door. House is very well equipped, we found everything we needed. There is a modern kitchen with all the cooking equipment. We enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace as well.
