excellent value for money
The hotel is small and welcoming. The room décor is a little dated but very clean and comfortable. The dining room is lovely and the food - both breakfast and dinner was excellent. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and we enjoyed our week's stay despite the weather being dull and windy. I can't believe how reasonable their prices are.

Keep this place a secret as we wish to return!
Caring, helpful staff (especially from Goncalo and Sonja but including all staff). Excellent quiet location with good views. Easy walk to the local bus stop for access to Funchal. Fantastic meals.

Petit hôtel (20 chambres, toutes sauf 4 ont la vue sur la mer) Emplacement parfait, à la limite de Funchal, accès très rapide à la voie rapide. Parking privé de l’hôtel (13 places), s'il est plain, parking facile dans la rue, il y avait plain de places vides chaque jour. Supérette à 50m (7-21h) Arrêt bus (N 02) pour aller au centre ville à 100m Plage de galets en contre bas (en revenant il faut monter 65m de denivelé). Difficile de rentrer dans la mer sans les chaussure de canyoning. Heureusement à coté il y a des piscines naturels avec accès mer par échelle (5,5€/personne, moitié prix après 18h) Chambre très bien agencé, nous étions 3, il y avait suffisamment de place,4 prises électriques pour charger les appareils, beaucoup de place pour mettre les affaires dans la salle de bain; Points négatifs (mineurs): il manque la bouilloire et un seche serviette sur le balcon. Diner à la carte (plat 15,5€, soupe 2,5€, dessert 3€) et pas le buffet, mais le repas est très bon. Petit déj en buffet. Service un peu lent. La nuit il y a un peu de bruits (les chiens qui aboient dans l'immeuble à coté et les voitures qui montent avec un vrombissement du moteur dans la rue), ce n'est pas très important, mais si vous avez le sommeil léger, prenez les bouchons d'oreilles. Piscine peu profonde. Au total - excellent séjour, je reviendrais surement.

Personnel très courtois et très serviable. Le personnel nous ont dépanné a quelques reprises(Merci!!) La chambre ou nous étions était correct/standard. L'hôtel est légèrement excentré donc tranquille de façon générale mais est proche de quelques restaurants, boutiques.(15 min. a pied d'un supermarché/centre commercial) Nous y retenerions

Chambre tres propres accueil agréable En demi-pension le petit-déjeuner et le dîner sont tres sympa. Léger bemol : la piscine, et certaines installations qui mériterait un petit rajeunissement. Sinon sejour agréable globalement je recommande au rapport qualité prix
