Featuring panoramic views of São Vicente’s mountains, this restored, historic house offers modern rooms. It has a fully equipped kitchen and a living room with a fireplace. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

This is the best place I have ever been hosted in. We arrived late at night, the host waited for us, welcomed us with a big smile and explained everything about the facilities. This is her house and it has some rooms for the host. The kitchen is extremely well equipped for self cook and on top of that with a huge generousity she offers a lot of small things to eat on the house, such as cakes, cereals and so on. Everything is super clean and tidy. There is a place where you can take yourself some madeira wine or make yourself tea. It feels like a boutique 5-star hotel. The rooms are beautiful with new furniture. The whole house has an amazing view. The living room is super cozy. It has some board games, blankets, and all of that well-designed and clean! She took care of us very nicely when we had some exceptional requests. Our room was cleaned and made every day, and she made our laundry for free. To sum up, this is a fabulous place, can't recommend enought.

Loved Solar da Bica. The staff there are wonderful, the room was great. The breakfast was excellent, and I liked that they changed things up a little every morning. The sauna and pool was a real treat after a long day hiking. We also loved the little tuck shop in the reception where you could buy beers!

Estalagem Corte do Norte is located in Ponta Delgada, 40.5 km from Funchal and 7 km from São Vicente. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free WiFi is available and free private parking is available on site.

I absolutely adored everything about my stay here. Paulo made me feel extremely welcome. He was super friendly. During my stay, I would see Paulo go above and beyond to help all his guests, to printing maps and timetables of the buses or having endless information and advice on where to go and what to do. Breakfast was included in my stay and it was delicious and Paulo cooks dinner for his guests with fresh food produced from his cousins farm. When I told Paulo that I wanted to climb the pico to pico trail but the pico transfers don't collect from this far out, Paulo kindly dropped me to the bus stop at 6am with a packed breakfast for the day. He was genuinely the kindest host I have ever come across.

Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    For us it was perfect- calm, quiet , peaceful and very well equipped. Parking right in front of the house. Great host! A lot of useful info about Madeira in the house. Good location for exploring the island. Nice garden terrace with great views - both of ocean and the mountains. It's quite near the city and there is also a snack bar few hundred meters nearby for quick bite or a drink.

    The view of the mountains from the window was very beautiful. The location was very pleasant and quiet. Breakfast is pretty much the same every morning (fresh bread, ham, cheese, yogurt and something sweet) plus fresh fruit. The host is very friendly and does laundry if necessary. Wifi is available, but may not always work flawlessly (connection is better in public areas).

    Fantastic location, with tents situated in a beautiful garden (banana trees, passion fruit, cucumbers) . The place is Very quiet at night. There is both an indoor- and an outdoor kitchen with BBQ/grill, with all the amenities, and the toilets and showers are modern and very clean. Christina is a great host, and very quick in responding to any questions. The place is a great location from where to explore the whole island. Seixal blacksand beach is just 15 minutes away! Would definitely stay again!

    Really beautiful house a bit outside of the city of Sao Vicente. Great location for doing hikes in the area and super quiet area to stay in. There were nice common areas - it was more like a house than a hotel so we had use of the kitchen, patio, and living room. Really beautiful area and a friendly host!
